International Convention on Liability
and Compensation for Damage in Connection with the Carriage of Hazardous and Noxious
Substances by Sea, 1996 (HNS Convention)(1997 edition)
The carriage of hazardous and noxious substances by sea can
result in the release of such substances. It has been widely recognized that there is a
need to adopt uniform international rules and procedures for determining questions of
liability and compensation for damage caused by such releases, and this has now been done.
The International Convention on Liability and Compensation for Damage in Connection with
the Carriage of Hazardous and Noxious Substances by Sea (HNS Convention), 1996, was
adopted by the International Conference on Hazardous and Noxious Substances and Limitation
of Liability, which was convened by IMO and met in London from 15 April to 3 May 1996.
This publication contains the text of the Convention, as well as the Final Act and four
resolutions adopted by the Conference.
Under the Convention and the first of the resolutions adopted by the Conference, the
International Hazardous and Noxious Substances Fund (HNS Fund) will be established to
receive contributions from States Party to the Convention and to make compensation
payments where appropriate.
