The Ship Fund compensates victims of pollution from the discharge of oil from ships in Canadian waters. Whereas the Rail Fund compensates victims of damages caused by a major crude-by-rail accident.
The Funds are managed as separate entities by an Administrator and a small team of dedicated staff, supported by a shared corporate services team. Approximately 25 employees, consultants and students occupy a single office location in downtown Ottawa. Employees have a wide variety of backgrounds and expertise, including finance, law, marine and rail expertise, communications, information management, and administration.
