AP’s review found that countries notified the IMO of their efforts to resolve cases less than a quarter of the time.
The uneven regulations also influence the ports where ships are abandoned most often. More than a quarter of recent cases have taken place in Saudi Arabia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates, which haven’t agreed to the abandonment language in the maritime convention.Lawyer for trucker who caused deadly Broncos crash says families have no right to sue
