The shipping industry reacts to catastrophic events by implementing resolutions on how to prevent and control future occurrences. On December 1999, the Erika, a 25-year-old single hull oil tanker, broke in two off the Coast of France, polluting approximately 400km of French coastline. Following the breaking of the MV Erika, the notion of Safe Havens was explored with a bid to provide refuge for vessels in distress. You are required to explore this notion. Ensure that your response includes case laws, examples and international regulations and principles where applicable.
