Vessels in distress: 'Safe havens' for crippled tankers

George C. Kasoulides

Marine Policy, 1987, vol. 11, issue 3, 184-195

Abstract: The recent rise in marine pollution incidents has jeopardized the traditional right of access to ports in cases of distress. Although numerous maritime conventions contain provision to this effect, the nature of the right remains controversial. The existing infrastructure, however, on the international and regional level might facilitate the adoption of a pragmatic approach and the designation of 'safe havens' to prevent pollution and permit the salvage of crippled vessels.
