Visit from Satakunta University

On 20 March 2018, the IOPC Funds were pleased to welcome 16 students from Satakunta University of Applied Sciences in Finland. Mark Homan, Claims Manager, provided an introduction to the legal framework of the international liability and compensation regime and the role of the IOPC Funds. He also presented on various aspects relating to claims for compensation, including the Funds’ criteria for the admissibility of claims.
The students were then given the opportunity to enjoy a tour of the building of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), followed by a presentation by IMO on its work as a UN specialized agency.
