Taiwan is located in a strategic location in the Asia-Pacific region in terms of maritime shipping. With the passage of some 400 vessels in its coastal waters, the country is regarded as one of the high risk areas of oil spill. In early 2001, the Greek MV Amorgos grounded in Kenting and caused severe damage to the local marine ecosystem. However, the law suit failed to obtain a just compensation on the loss of coral reed recovery, fishery loss and local economy. The court did not accept the data provided by the authority. Since Taiwan is not the member of the United Nations, it is difficult to process and get the compensation following the related conventions (e.g., 1969 CLC Convention and 1971 FUND Convention¡^. In this regard, this thesis examine the related issues, analyze the international and domestic cases, review the existing mechanisms and finally proposed appropriate suggestions on the mechanism improvement of oil spill compensation for Taiwan.
