Without prejudice to article 5, this Convention shall not apply to warships or other non-commercial vessels owned or operated by a State and entitled, at the time of salvage operations, to sovereign immunity under generally recognized principles of international law unless that State decides otherwise.2. Where a State Party decides to apply the Convention to its warships or other vessels described in paragraph 1, it shall notify the Secretary-General thereof specifying the terms and conditions of such application.Article 5 - Salvage operations controlled by public authorities1. This Convention shall not affect any provisions of national law or any international convention relating to salvage operations by or under the control of public authorities.2. Nevertheless, salvors carrying out such salvage operations shall be entitled to avail themselves of the rights and remedies provided for in this Convention in respect of salvage operations.3. The extent to which a public authority under a duty to perform salvage operations may avail itself of the rights and remedies provided for in this Convention shall be determined by the law of the State where such authority is situated.Article 6 - Salvage contracts1. This Convention shall apply to any salvage operations save to the extent that a contract otherwise provides expressly or by implication.2. The master shall have the authority to conclude contracts for salvage operations on behalf of the owner of the vessel. The master or the owner of the vessel shall have the authority to conclude such contracts on behalf of the owner of the property on board the vessel.3. Nothing in this article shall affect the application of article 7 nor duties to prevent or minimize damage to the environment. Article 7 - Annulment and modification of contractsA contract or any terms thereof may be annulled or modified if:(a) the contract has been entered into under undue influence or the influence of danger and its terms are inequitable; or(b) the payment under the contract is in an excessive degree too large or too small for the services actually rendered. Chapter II - Performance of salvage operationsArticle 8 - Duties of the salvor and of the owner and master1. The salvor shall owe a duty to the owner of the vessel or other property in danger:(a) to carry out the salvage operations with due care;(b) in performing the duty specified in subparagraph (a), to exercise due care to prevent or minimize damage to the environment;(c) whenever circumstances reasonably require, to seek assistance from other salvors; and(d) to accept the intervention of other salvors when reasonably requested to do so by the owner or master of the vessel or other property in danger; provided however that the amount of his reward shall not be prejudiced should it be found that such a request was unreasonable.2. The owner and master of the vessel or the owner of other property in danger shall owe a duty to the salvor:(a) to co-operate fully with him during the course of the salvage operations;(b) in so doing, to exercise due care to prevent or minimize damage to the environment; and(c) when the vessel or other property has been brought to a place of safety, to accept redelivery when reasonably requested by the salvor to do so.Article 9 - Rights of coastal StatesNothing in this Convention shall affect the right of the coastal State concerned to take measures in accordance with generally recognized principles of international law to protect its coastline or related interests from pollution or the threat of pollution following upon a maritime casualty or acts relating to such a casualty which may reasonably be expected to result in major harmful consequences, including the right of a coastal State to give directions in relation to salvage operations.Article 10 - Duty to render assistance1. Every master is bound, so far as he can do so without serious danger to his vessel and persons thereon, to render assistance to any person in danger of being lost at sea.2. The States Parties shall adopt the measures necessary to enforce the duty set out in paragraph 1.3. The owner of the vessel shall incur no liability for a breach of the duty of the master under paragraph 1.Article 11 - Co-operationA State Party shall, whenever regulating or deciding upon matters relating to salvage operations such as admittance to ports of vessels in distress or the provision of facilities to salvors, take into account the need for co-operation between salvors, other interested parties and public authorities in order to ensure the efficient and successful performance of salvage operations for the purpose of saving life or property in danger as well as preventing damage to the environment in general.Chapter III - Rights of salvorsArticle 12 - Conditions for reward1. Salvage operations which have had a useful result give right to a reward.2. Except as otherwise provided, no payment is due under this Convention if the salvage operations have had no useful result.3. This chapter shall apply, notwithstanding that the salved vessel and the vessel undertaking the salvage operations belong to the same owner.Article 13 - Criteria for fixing the reward1. The reward shall be fixed with a view to encouraging salvage operations, taking into account the following criteria without regard to the order in which they are presented below:(a) the salved value of the vessel and other property;(b) the skill and efforts of the salvors in preventing or minimizing damage to the environment;(c) the measure of success obtained by the salvor;(d) the nature and degree of the danger;(e) the skill and efforts of the salvors in salving the vessel, other property and life;(f) the time used and expenses and losses incurred by the salvors;(g) the risk of liability and other risks run by the salvors or their equipment;(h) the promptness of the services rendered;(i) the availability and use of vessels or other equipment intended for salvage operations;(j) the state of readiness and efficiency of the salvor's equipment and the value thereof.2. Payment of a reward fixed according to paragraph 1 shall be made by all of the vessel and other property interests in proportion to their respective salved values. However, a State Party may in its national law provide that the payment of a reward has to be made by one of these interests, subject to a right of recourse of this interest against the other interests for their respective shares. Nothing in this article shall prevent any right of defence.3. The rewards, exclusive of any interest and recoverable legal costs that may be payable thereon, shall not exceed the salved value of the vessel and other property.Article 14 - Special compensation1. If the salvor has carried out salvage operations in respect of a vessel which by itself or its cargo threatened damage to the environment and has failed to earn a reward under article 13 at least equivalent to the special compensation assessable in accordance with this article, he shall be entitled to special compensation from the owner of that vessel equivalent to his expenses as herein defined.2. If, in the circumstances set out in paragraph 1, the salvor by his salvage operations has prevented or minimized damage to the environment, the special compensation payable by the owner to the salvor under paragraph 1 may be increased up to a maximum of 30% of the expenses incurred by the salvor. However, the tribunal, if it deems it fair and just to do so and bearing in mind the relevant criteria set out in article 13, paragraph 1, may increase such special compensation further, but in no event shall the total increase be more than 100% of the expenses incurred by the salvor.3. Salvor's expenses for the purpose of paragraphs 1 and 2 means the out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the salvor in the salvage operation and a fair rate for equipment and personnel actually and reasonably used in the salvage operation, taking into consideration the criteria set out in article 13, paragraph 1 (h), (i) and (j).4. The total special compensation under this article shall be paid only if and to the extent that such compensation is greater than any reward recoverable by the salvor under article 13.5. If the salvor has been negligent and has thereby failed to prevent or minimize damage to the environment, he may be deprived of the whole or part of any special compensation due under this article.6. Nothing in this article shall affect any right of recourse on the part of the owner of the vessel.Article 15 - Apportionment between salvors1. The apportionment of a reward under article 13 between salvors shall be made on the basis of the criteria contained in that article.2. The apportionment between the owner, master and other persons in the service of each salving vessel shall be determined by the law of the flag of that vessel. If the salvage has not been carried out from a vessel, the apportionment shall be determined by the law governing the contract between the salvor and his servants.Article 16 - Salvage of persons1. No remuneration is due from persons whose lives are saved, but nothing in this article shall affect the provisions of national law on this subject.2. A salvor of human life, who has taken part in the services rendered on the occasion of the accident giving rise to salvage, is entitled to a fair share of the payment awarded to the salvor for salving the vessel or other property or preventing or minimizing damage to the environment.Article 17 - Services rendered under existing contractsNo payment is due under the provisions of this Convention unless the services rendered exceed what can be reasonably considered as due performance of a contract entered into before the danger arose.Article 18 - The effect of salvor's misconductA salvor may be deprived of the whole or part of the payment due under this Convention to the extent that the salvage operations have become necessary or more difficult because of fault or neglect on his part or if the salvor has been guilty of fraud or other dishonest conduct.Article 19 - Prohibition of salvage operationsServices rendered notwithstanding the express and reasonable prohibition of the owner or master of the vessel or the owner of any other property in danger which is not and has not been on board the vessel shall not give rise to payment under this ConventionChapter IV - Claims and actionsArticle 20 - Maritime lien1. Nothing in this Convention shall affect the salvor's maritime lien under any international convention or national law.2. The salvor may not enforce his maritime lien when satisfactory security for his claim, including interest and costs, has been duly tendered or provided.Article 21 - Duty to provide security1. Upon the request of the salvor a person liable for a payment due under this Convention shall provide satisfactory security for the claim, including interest and costs of the salvor.2. Without prejudice to paragraph 1, the owner of the salved vessel shall use his best endeavours to ensure that the owners of the cargo provide satisfactory security for the claims against them including interest and costs before the cargo is released.3. The salved vessel and other property shall not, without the consent of the salvor, be removed from the port or place at which they first arrive after the completion of the salvage operations until satisfactory security has been put up for the salvor's claim against the relevant vessel or property.Article 22 - Interim payment1. The tribunal having jurisdiction over the claim of the salvor may, by interim decision, order that the salvor shall be paid on account such amount as seems fair and just, and on such terms including terms as to security where appropriate, as may be fair and just according to the circumstances of the case.2. In the event of an interim payment under this article the security provided under article 21 shall be reduced accordingly.Article 23 - Limitation of actions1. Any action relating to payment under this Convention shall be time-barred if judicial or arbitral proceedings have not been instituted within a period of two years. The limitation period commences on the day on which the salvage operations are terminated.2. The person against whom a claim is made may at any time during the running of the limitation period extend that period by a declaration to the claimant. This period may in the like manner be further extended.3. An action for indemnity by a person liable may be instituted even after the expiration of the limitation period provided for in the preceding paragraphs, if brought within the time allowed by the law of the State where proceedings are instituted.Article 24 - InterestThe right of the salvor to interest on any payment due under this Convention shall be determined according to the law of the State in which the tribunal seized of the case is situated.Article 25 - State-owned cargoesUnless the State owner consents, no provision of this Convention shall be used as a basis for the seizure, arrest or detention by any legal process of, nor for any proceedings in rem against, non-commercial cargoes owned by a State and entitled, at the time of the salvage operations, to sovereign immunity under generally recognized principles of international law.Article 26 - Humanitarian cargoesNo provision of this Convention shall be used as a basis for the seizure, arrest or detention of humanitarian cargoes donated by a State, if such State has agreed to pay for salvage services rendered in respect of such humanitarian cargoes.Article 27 - Publication of arbitral awardsStates Parties shall encourage, as far as possible and with the consent of the parties, the publication of arbitral awards made in salvage cases.Chapter V - Final clausesArticle 28 - Signature, ratification, acceptance approval and accession1.

Such withdrawal shall take effect on the date the notification is received.

“无效果,无报酬”原则的发展变化

“无效果,无报酬”原则的发展变化

【摘要】“无效果,无报酬”原则是海商法中的一个重要原则。

它的制定为救助方索要报酬提供了依据。

然而,随着时代的发展,新问题的出现使“无效果,无报酬”原则在一些涉及“无效果,海洋环境污染的案例中不仅因报酬少而打击了救助者的积极性。

经过一系列的完善,无报酬”原则也因被赋予了新的内涵而得以继续在新时代发挥作用。

【关键词】海难救助;“无效果,无报酬”原则;海洋污染;特别补偿一、“无效果,无报酬”原则的概述我国《海商法》第179 条规定:“救助方对遇险的船舶和其他财产的救助,取得效果的,有权获得救助报酬;救助未取得效果的,除本法第182 条或者其他法律另有规定或者合同另有规定外,无权获得救助款项”。

换言之,无救助效果,不得请求报酬,救助报酬的法律关系不成立。

这是海难救助有关救助报酬法律的特殊原则。

国际公约和各国海商法均普遍接受的――“无效果,无报酬”原则。

这一原则的最初确立是在《1910年救助公约》第2条,另外在第6条(a)中也有对该原则的体现。

自《1910年救助公约》确定这一救助原则后,各国的海商法和使用的救助合同一般都会采用这个原则,在救助合同上印有“no cure, no pay”字样。

这一原则使救助方的报酬索要有了一定的依据,在救助者与被救助者之间形成了一个相对公平的付款规则。

于被救助者来说,由于在进行订立救助协议时处于危急情况,难免会出现因急于求助而约定较高报酬的现象。

而若实际救助结束后,救助方所救助的标的物价值远小于双方约定的报酬,被救助方就会遭受不利的损失。

而按效果支付报酬,就有力的避免了这一情况。

另一方面,对于救助者来说,它在海难救助中建立了一个激励机制以激励救助方的积极性,即救助效果越大,被救助方获救的财产就越多,救助方获得的报酬也就越多。

也就由此对救助方付出的劳动的救助所花费的资金有了一个相对正相关的回报。

二、引起“无效果,无报酬”原则改变的起因“无效果,无报酬”原则在实践中起到了一定积极的作用,然而随着时代的进步、航海业的发展以及人们观念的变化,该原则的不合理之处也凸现出来。

43W张锐涵2P—论海难救助法律中的特别补偿制度

论海难救助法律中的特别补偿制度张锐涵西北政法大学国际法学院陕西西安 710122【摘要】:从“无效果,无报酬”原则到自《1989年国际救助公约》起增加的特别补偿制度,再到SCOPIC,都是从出现问题到解决问题,从不完善到渐渐完善。

特别补偿制度从设立起就有其固定缺陷,但国际社会一直在为此不断努力,围绕着减少特别补偿的不确定性这个中心,力求平衡救助人和被救助人的利益关系,推动海上救助事业的发展,维护海洋环境。

【关键词】:“无效果,无报酬”;特别补偿制度;SCOPIC条款一、海难救助中特别补偿制度的起源海难救助,又称海上救助,是指对遭遇海难的船舶、货物和客货运费的全部或部分,由外来力量对其进行救助的行为,不考虑该行为发生在何水域。

1910年第三次海洋法外交会议通过的《关于统一海难救助某些法律规定的公约》(简称《1910年救助公约》)在国际上正式确立了海难救助法律制度。

此后,作为制度核心的“无效果,无报酬”原则以一种独特的激励机制形式,在海上救助中持续占据着统治地位。

20世纪60年代后,大型油轮遇难而污染海洋环境的重大事故时有发生。

1978年“阿莫柯﹒卡迪兹”(Amoco Cadiz)事故发生,引起广泛争议,修改《1910年救助公约》的呼声日益高涨。

国际海事委员会于第32届国际会议上提交了救助公约修正草案,即“蒙特利尔妥协案”。

1989年4月国际海事组织在伦敦召开外交大会,正式通过了《1989年国际救助公约》(SALCON1989)。

特别补偿条款作为SALCON1989的核心内容,从此登上海难救助的历史舞台。

公约第14条规定,当船舶或船上货物对环境污损构成威胁时,救助人对其进行救助作业,救助无效果或效果不明显,且未能防止或减轻环境污染,根据《1989年公约》第13条(“评定报酬的标准”条款)确定的救助报酬少于救助费用时,救助人有权获得相当于该费用的特别补偿。

如果在救助作业的同时防止或减轻了环境污损,特别补偿可增加到救助费用的130%,特别情况下,法院或仲裁庭可根据公平、合理的原则将此项补偿增至200%。

自愿救助,是指救助方提供救助服务的自愿和被救助方接受救助的自愿,双 方都需要是自愿的。
对救助方来说,自愿是指其在法律上和职责上对遇险的海上财产无强制性的救 助义务;如果救助人负有救助义务,他便无权请求救助报酬。

浅析英国海上救助法律制度

浅析英国海上救助法律制度

浅析英国海上救助法律制度作者:李秀友来源:《法制与社会》2013年第12期摘要海上救助制度是海商法的一个特殊分支,其历史悠久,甚至可以追溯到数千年前。

现代英国救助法律的框架是在18、19世纪海事法院的判例基础上初步形成的。

在多年的历史发展过程中,英国海上救助法律制度确立了一些基本原则。

本文将从救助的定义、救助成立的要件、救助人与被救助人的关系,救助报酬的厘定和对救助人的救济等几个方面简要论述英国海上救助法律制度。

但如果在海上进行了同样的服务,成功救助遇险财产的人将有权获得不超过获救财产价值的救助报酬。

二、救助的定义英国法律中似乎并无对救助作业的明确定义。

但根据并入英国法的《1989年国际救助公约》(下称89公约)第1条的规定:救助作业系指可航水域或其他任何水域中援救处于危险中的船舶或任何其他财产的行为或活动。

三、救助成立的必要条件在英国法下,救助作业成立需要具备四个必要条件:被救助的对象或救助标的必须是海上财产;救助标的必须处于危险当中;救助作业是第三方自愿施救;遇险财产被全部或部分成功救回。

(一)救助标的只有海上财产才能作为救助作业的标的而被救助。

根据89公约第1条的规定,海上财产系指非永久性和非有意地依附于岸线的任何财产,包括有风险的运费。

传统意义上的海上财产主要包括船舶、货物、燃油和运费。

根据89公约中的定义,船舶系指任何船只、艇筏或任何能够航行的构造物。

根据英国1995年商船法的规定,船舶是指用于航行目的的任何形式的船只。

根据89公约,已就位的从事海底矿物资源的勘探、开发或生产的固定式、浮动式平台或移动式近海钻井装置被排除在救助对象之外。

浅析海难救助与共同海损之间的关系

浅析海难救助与共同海损之间的关系

浅析海难救助与共同海损之间的关系作者:郑宇航来源:《法制与社会》2017年第06期摘要从海运行业产生至今,自然灾害、意外事故等风险总是与之相伴。

海难救助和共同海损作为海商法中两项非常古老的制度,在应对和分散海上运输风险中发挥着重要的作用,共同影响着海上运输、海上保险、国际贸易等诸多领域的发展。

海难救助与共同海损既有紧密的联系,又有着本质的区别,研究二者的异同有助于我们对其产生清晰的认识,从而更好地指导实践。

关键词海难救助共同海损海上运输中图分类号:D920.4 文献标识码:A DOI:10.19387/ki.1009-0592.2017.02.399一、海难救助制度概述(一)海难救助的定义海难救助是指在海上或在与海洋相通的可航水域,对遇难的人员、船舶和其他财产实施援助、救助的行为。

从事救助活动的主体须为外来力量,如专业救助队或附近的其他船只。

狭义的海难救助是指对物的救助,广义的海难救助还包括对人的救助。

严格的说,海难救助应仅限于对物的救助,因为只有对物的救助才能产生救助报酬请求权。

(二)海难救助的成立条件1. 被救物必须为法律所认可:首先,救助标的必须是物,不包括人。

其次,救助的标的是国际公约或国内法所承认的。

《1989年国际救助公约》和我国《海商法》均规定救助标的包括船舶、任何其他海上财产以及海洋环境,但不适用于军事船舶和政府公务船舶。

2. 被救物处于危险之中:救助对象处于危险之中是构成海难救助的法律前提。

这一要件有三层含义:第一,救助对象所遭遇的海上危险须为客观存在且无法避免,并非来自船长或船上其他负责人员的主观臆断。

第二,从程度上来说,船长或船员不得不依赖于外来救助,方可使船舶、货物或其他财产摆脱海上危险。

第三,海上危险发生的原因在所不问。

无论是自然灾害、意外事故,还是救助对象的潜在缺陷,或者是船长、船员或其他受雇人员的故意或过失造成的危险(如船员将未熄灭的烟头扔进货仓导致船舶起火),均不影响海难救助的成立。
