In March 1993 the 1971 Fund Executive Committee instructed the Director to follow the investigations into the cause of the incident which were being carried out by the United Kingdom and Liberian authorities with a view to advising the Committee as to whether the 1971 Fund should take legal action to break the shipowner’s right of limitation or whether it should take legal action against any person (other than the owner) for the purpose of recovering any amount which the Fund may have to pay in compensation to victims.
