China has became the second large oil input country in the world by 2003 .The risk of the oil pollution from ships is increasing . The law of the compensation for the oil pollution damage from ships is a very international and special one. This law has been effected by the tort law, environment law and maritime law. Because China's law system for oil damage compensation is not very clear, the judges may use different kinds of laws to make a judgment. The lack of the law system is not good for the prevention of marine pollution nor compensation for the victims. The oil owners need not to take the liability of the pollution is not fair too.
