The Subject of Criminal of Ship Oil Pollution
Criminalization of crew is greatly concerned by international community. In 2005, Pollution from Ships of Offenses and the Punishment of Law passed by the European Parliament, imposing punitive sanctions on seafarers has attracted wide reactions within maritime circles. Before the latest steps by the EU, three incidents, involving pollution had already occurred on separate occasions, in France and Spain, and another one in Pakistan. The one in France led to the detention of the master, just as the one in Spain led to the arrest and trial of the Captain. In the case of Pakistan, seven crewmembers and the salvage master (who only arrived in Karachi four days after the vessel had broken in two in replacement of the original salvage master who had been evacuated after being overcome by fumes) were detained. All, as a result of accidents which occurred to the vessels, occasioning oil spills to the coastal marine environment of the States concerned. In February 2005, the International Federation of Sea Masters Association (IFSMA) held an international conference on the captain and crew act against oil pollution of the ship in London, which is a wide-ranging discussion of the criminal subjects. Who can become subjects of criminal? In the authors opinion, the subjects of criminal include the ship owners, crew, pilot, salvor and persons on behalf of the Master. The complicity is also analyzed in the article.
