Shipping Coordinating Committee, International Maritime
Organization (IMO) Legal Committee; Notice of Meeting
The U.S. Shipping Coordinating Committee (SHC) will conduct an open
meeting at 10:00 a.m., on Monday, November 1, 1999, in Room 2415 at
U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, 2100 Second Street, SW, Washington, DC.
The purpose of this meeting is to report the results of Eightieth
Session of the International Maritime Organization Legal Committee (LEG
80), and the Joint International Maritime Organization/International
Labor Organization Ad Hoc Expert Working Group, held concurrently
October 11-15, 1999, in London.
LEG 80 will focus primarily on completing its work on a draft
protocol to the Athens Convention. The Joint IMO/ILO Ad Hoc Expert
Working Group will be focusing on the subject of liability and
compensation regarding claims for death, personal injury and

topic. Other topics that will be briefly addressed include: the draft
IMO Guidelines on Shipowners' Responsibilities in Respect of Maritime
Claims and a draft convention regarding bunker fuel spills. Time will
also be allotted to address any other issues on the LEG work program on
which there are questions or comments.
