International Oil Pollution Compensation Fund

Japanese: 国際油濁補償基金 - こくさいゆだくほしょうききん(英語表記)International Oil Pollution Compensation Fund
International Oil Pollution Compensation Fund
A fund established in 1971 based on the International Convention on the Establishment of an International Fund for Compensation for Oil Pollution Damage. It is abbreviated as IOPCF. Oil recipients contribute to provide compensation to oil pollution victims for damages that exceed the shipowner's civil liability. The convention that serves as the basis for this was adopted in 1971 and came into force in October 1978. There are 64 contracting countries. Japan became a contracting country in July 1976. An amending protocol adopted in 1976 changed the calculation unit of compensation from gold francs to SDRs, and the maximum compensation amount is now 60 million SDRs (approximately 10.2 billion yen).
