Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims
The Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims is an IMO treaty that was concluded in London in November 1976. It entered into force in 1986, and superseded the 1957 Brussels Convention of the same name. As of October 2016, 54 states are party to the convention.[1]
Parties
[edit]Although 65 states have ratified the convention, it has only 54 state parties because a number of ratifying states have denounced the convention.[1] New Zealand had ratified the convention and ceased to be a party in October 2017.
