Claims submission office opens in Singapore for Marine Honour oil spill

Whilst the shipowner is liable for damages, their liability is capped.

A joint Claims Submission Office (CSO) has opened in Singapore to handle compensation claims arising from the Marine Honour oil spill on 14 June.

Operated by the International Oil Pollution Compensation Funds (IOPC Funds) and British Marine, the CSO will assist individuals and organisations affected by the pollution damage.

Singaporean law, specifically the 1992 Civil Liability Convention (CLC) and Fund Convention, governs the incident.

Whilst the shipowner is liable for damages, their liability is capped. If claims exceed this limit, the 1992 Fund will provide compensation.

Given the expected claims, the shipowner has invoked their right to limit liability.

The IOPC Funds and British Marine have partnered to establish the CSO and offer support to claimants.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
