The International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Legal Committee held its 93rd session in Panama City, Panama, from 22-26 October 2007.

The Committee requested the Secretariat to prepare a model insurance certificate, which may be issued by States parties in respect of each and every ship under the relevant IMO conventions, for consideration at its 94th session. The decision followed the adoption of a resolution on compulsory insurance certificates under existing maritime liability conventions, including the Nairobi International Convention on the Removal of Wrecks, 2007. In addition, participants reviewed the status of the International Convention on Liability and Compensation for Damage in Connection with the Carriage of Hazardous and Noxious Substances by Sea.
