Limitation of liability for oil pollution is an antique and unique legal system in maritime law. which is essential to protect and promote the stable development of shipping industry. It is, therefore, very important to provide the proper procedure to ensure that the shipowner can fully evoke the limitation of liability for oil pollution.Special Maritime Procedure Law of People's Republic of China has not clearly stipulated whether the chapter 9 (procedure for constitution of limitation fund for maritime claims) and chapter 10 (procedure for registration and repayment of the debts) apply to the application of limitation of liability for oil pollution. In this paper, through comparing the difference between the application of limitation of liability for maritime claims and the application of limitation of liability for oil pollution, the writer further points out that Special Maritime Procedure Law of People's Republic of China could not fully apply to the application of limitation of liability for oil pollution. Based on this, the writer introduces the related provision of the other countries and then put forward to build up the limitation action for oil pollution. Finally, the writer designs the whole procedure for the application of limitation of liability for oil pollution.
