The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) (101 H.R.1465, P.L. 101-380) was passed by the 101st United States Congress and signed by President George H. W. Bush. It works to avoid oil spills from vessels and facilities by enforcing removal of spilled oil and assigning liability for the cost of cleanup and damage; requires specific operating procedures; defines responsible parties and financial liability; implements processes for measuring damages; specifies damages for which violators are liable; and establishes a fund for damages, cleanup, and removal costs. This statute has resulted in instrumental changes in the oil production, transportation, and distribution industries.

  • L'Oil Pollution Act de 1990, aussi désigné par les abréviations OPA90, est un code ratifié par le Congrès des États-Unis le 18 août 1990. Il est donc obligatoire pour un navire transportant des hydrocarbures dans les eaux américaines de respecter ce code. OPA 90 a donc une vocation nationale, mais de par la position incontournable en matière de pétrole des États-Unis, ses conséquences sont internationales. OPA 90 est une réponse au déversement de 38 500 tonnes de pétrole brut sur les côtes d'Alaska après l'accident de l'Exxon Valdez, le 24 mars 1989. (fr)
  • De Oil Pollution Act van 1990 (OPA) werd aangenomen door het Congres van de Verenigde Staten en ondertekend door President George H. W. Bush. OPA trad in voege op 18 augustus 1990. Het doel is om olieverontreiniging door schepen en havenfaciliteiten te minimaliseren door constructievoorwaarden en procedures op te leggen. De grootste verandering was echter dat de beperkte financiële verantwoordelijkheid werd opgeheven. Dit leidde tot fundamentele veranderingen in de olie-industrie. (nl)
