1976年海事赔偿责任限制公约 本公约于１９７６年１１月１日至１１月１９日在伦敦召开的原政府间海事协商外交会议上通过，１９８６年１２月１日生效。参加本公约的国家有：巴哈马、比利时、贝宁、丹麦、埃及、芬兰、法国、德国、日本、利比利亚、瑞典、挪威、波兰、瑞士、英国、也门、澳大利亚等。       英国政府在批准书中，根据本公约第１８条第１款作出保留，排除第２条第１款第(d)项的适用，并指出：将国际货款基金组织使用的定值方法作为英国根据本公约第８条第１项使用的计算方式，并且，根据本公约第１５条第２款第(b)项，将３００吨以下船舶对人身伤亡的索赔和对任何其它索赔的责任限额分别确定为１６６ ６６７计算单位和８３ ３３３计算单位。       法国政府在其核准书中，根据本公约第１８条第１款，保留排除第２条第１款第(d)项和第(e)项适用的权利。       本公约缔约国，       认识到通过协议确定关于海事索赔责任限制的若干统一规则的需要，已决定为此目的而缔结一项公约，并已就此达成协议如下：       第一章 责任限制的权利       第一条 有权享受责任限制的人       １．下述定义中所指的船舶所有人和救助人，可以根据本公约规定，对第二条所列索赔，限制其责任。       ２．“船舶所有人”一词，是指海运船舶的所有人、承租人、经理人和营运人。       ３．“救助人”是指从事与救助作业直接相关的服务工作的任何人。救助作业还包括第二条第１款第（４）、（５）、（６）项所述作业。       ４．如果第二条所规定的任何索赔，是向船舶所有人或救助人对其行为、疏忽或过失负有责任的任何人提出的，这种人便有权享受本公约所规定的责任限制。       ５．就本公约而言，船舶所有人的责任，应包括对船舶本身提起诉讼案件中的责任。       ６．对于按本公约规定须受责任限制的索赔承担责任的保险人，有权与被保险人本人在同一限度内享受本公约的利益。       ７．援用责任限制的行为，并不构成对责任的承认。       第二条 须受责任限制的索赔       １．除按第三条和第四条的规定外，下列索赔，无论其责任的根据如何，均须受责任限制的制约：       （１）有关在船上发生或与船舶营运或救助作业直接相关的人身伤亡或财产的灭失或损害（包括对港口工程、港池、航道和助航设施的损害），以及由此引起的相应损失的索赔；       （２）有关海上货物、旅客或其行李运输的延迟所引起的损失的索赔；       （３）有关与船舶营运或救助作业直接相关的侵犯除契约权利之外的权利引起的其它损失的索赔；       （４）有关沉没、遇难、搁浅或被弃船舶（包括船上的任何物件）的起浮、清除、毁坏或使之变为无害的索赔；       （５）有关船上货物的清除、毁坏或使之变为无害的索赔；       （６）有关责任人以外的任何人，为避免或减少责任人按本公约规定可限制其责任的损失所采取的措施，以及由此措施而引起的进一步损失的索赔。       ２．第１款所列各项索赔，即使以追偿请求或者根据契约要求赔偿的方式或其它方式提出，也应受责任限制的制约。但第１款第（４）、（５）和（６）项所列索赔，在其涉及与责任人所订契约中所载报酬问题时，应不受责任限制的制约。       第三条 不受责任限制的索赔       本公约的规则不适用于：       （１）有关救助或共同海损分摊的索赔；       （２）有关１９６９年１１月２９日国际油污损害民事责任公约的规定，或实施中的该公约修正案或议定书中所载油污损害的索赔；       （３）根据管辖或禁止核能损害责任限制的任何国际公约或国内法提出的索赔；       （４）对核子船舶所有人提出的核子损害索赔；       （５）所任职务与船舶或救助作业有关的船舶所有人或救助人的雇用人员，包括他们的继承人、亲属或有权提出索赔要求的其它人员所提出的索赔，如果按照船舶所有人或救助同雇用人之间的服务合同所适用的法律，船舶所有人或救助人无权在此类索赔方面限制其责任，或者根据此项法律，仅允许将其责任限制在较本公约第六条规定的限额为高时。       第四条 不得享受责任限制的行为       如经证明，损失是由于责任人本身为蓄意造成这一损失，或者明知可能造成这一损失而轻率地采取的行为或不为所引起，该责任人便无权限制其责任。       第五条 反索赔       如果按照本公约规定有权享受责任限制的人，就同一事件向索赔人提出索赔，则双方提出的索赔应相互抵销，而本公约的规定则仅适用于其间的差额（如有差额）。       第二章 责任限制       第六条 一般限制       １．除第七条所列者外，在任一具体情况下提出的索赔的责任限制，应按下列方法计算：       （１）有关人身伤亡的索赔：       ①凡吨位不超过５００吨的船舶，为３３３，０００计算单位；       ②凡吨位超过５００吨的船舶，除第①项外，还应增加下列数额：       自５０１吨至３，０００吨，每吨为５００计算单位；       自３，００１吨至３０，０００吨，每吨为３３３计算单位；       自３０，００１吨至７０，０００吨，每吨为２５０计算单位；       超过７０，０００吨，每吨为１６７计算单位。       （２）有关其它方面的索赔：       ①凡吨位不超过５００吨的船舶，为１６７，０００计算单位；       ②凡吨位超过５００吨的船舶，除第①项外，还应增加下列数额：       自５０１吨至３０，０００吨，每吨为１６７计算单位；       自３０，０００吨至７０，０００吨，每吨为１２５计算单位；       超过７０，０００吨，每吨为８３计算单位。       ２．但是，如果依照第１款第（１）项计算的那部分款额不敷支付全部索赔，则依照第１款第（２）项计算的数额，应用以支付第１款第（１）项下所未支付的差额，而此项未付差额应同第１款第（２）项的索赔按比例取偿。       ３．但是，在无损于按第２款提出的关于人身伤亡的索赔权利的情况下，缔约国可在国内法中规定，对港口工程、港池、航道和助航设施的损害所提出的索赔，应依该法规定而享有较第１款第２项所载其它索赔优先受偿的权利。       ４．凡不从任何船舶进行施救工作的救助人，或者只是在对之进行施救工作的船上作业的救助人，其责任限制应按吨位为１，５００吨的船舶计算。       ５．就本公约而言，船舶吨位应为根据《１９６９年国际船舶吨位丈量公约》附件Ⅰ中所载吨位丈量规则计算的总吨位。       第七条 旅客索赔的责任限制       １．对于在任一具体情况下提出的有关船上旅客人身伤亡的索赔，船舶所有人的责任限制，为４６，６６６计算单位乘以船舶证书上规定的该船载客定额所得的数额，但不得超过２５，０００，０００计算单位。       ２．就本条而言，“船上旅客人身伤亡的索赔”，是指该船所载下列任何人所提出或代其提出的任何此种索赔，即：       （１）根据旅客运输契约而载运者；或       （２）经承运人同意，随同照料货物运输契约中所载车辆或活动物者。       第八条 计算单位       １．上述第六条、第七条所述计算单位，是指国际货币基金组织所规定的特别提款权。第六条、第七条所述数额，应按照责任限制基金设立之日、付款之日或根据该国法律与此项付款等值的担保提出之日该国货币的价值，折算成谋求责任限制所有国家的本国货币。凡属国际货币基金组织成员国的本公约缔约国，其以特别提款权表示的本国货币的价值，应按国际货币基金组织在上述日期在进行营业和交易中适用的现行定价办法计算。非属国际货币基金组织成员国的本公约缔约国，其以特别提款权表示的本国货币的价值，应按该缔约国确定的办法计算。       ２．但是，非属国际货币基金组织成员国，且其法律不允许实施本条第１款规定办法的国家，可在签字并无保留地批准、接受或认可之时，或在批准、接受、认可或加入之时，或在此后任何时期宣布，将在其领土内适用的本公约所规定的责任限制，确定如下：       （１）有关第六条第１款第（１）项：①凡吨位不超过５００吨的船舶，为５，０００，０００货币单位；②凡吨位不超过５００吨的船舶，除第①项外，还应增加下列数额：       自５０１吨至３，０００吨，每吨为７，５００货币单位；       自３，００１吨至３０，０００吨，每吨为５，０００货币单位；       自３０，００１吨至７０，０００吨，每吨为３，７５０货币单位；       超过７０，０００吨，每吨为２，５００货币单位。       （２）有关第六条第１款第（２）项：       ①凡吨位不超过５００吨的船舶，为２，５００，０００货币单位；       ②凡吨位超过５００吨的船舶，除第①项外，还应增加下列数额；       自５０１吨至３０，０００吨，每吨为２，５００货币单位；       自３０，００１吨至７０，０００吨，每吨为１，８５０货币单位；       超过７０，０００吨，每吨为１，２５０货币单位。       （３）有关第七条第１款，为７００，０００货币单位乘以船舶证书上规定的载客定额所得的数额，但不得超过３７５，０００，０００货币单位。       第六条第２款和第３款的规定，相应地适用于本款第（１）和第（２）项。       ３．上述第２款所指货币单位，相当于纯度为千分之九百的黄金６５．５毫克。将第２款规定的货币单位数额折算成国家货币时，应按有关国家的法律办理。       ４．第１款末句所述计算办法和第３款所述折算办法，应能使第六条和第七条所述数额在以缔约国本国货币计算时，尽可能表示出上述条款中按计算单位计算时的同一真实价值。缔约国在签字并无保留地批准、接受或认可之时，或在交存第十六条所指文件之时，应视情况向本公约保管人提交第１款所述计算办法，或第３款所述折算结果，并在其变更时作出相应的通知。       第九条 索赔总额       １．根据第六条规定的责任限额，应适用于下列各项索赔总额：       （１）对第一条第２款所指任何人以及他或他们对其行为、疏忽或过失负责的任何人提出的索赔；       （２）对从另一艘船舶进行施救工作的该船船舶所有人，和从这种船舶进行施救工作的救助人，以及他或他们对其行为、疏忽或过失负责的任何人提出的索赔；       （３）对不是从另一艘船舶进行施救工作的救助人，或者只是在对之进行施救工作的船上作业的救助人，以及他或他们对其行为、疏忽或过失负责的任何人提出的索赔。       ２．按第七条规定的责任限制，适用于可能在任何特定情况下，就第一条第２款所述有关第七条所指船舶的负有赔偿责任的任何人，以及他或他们对其行为、疏忽或过失负责的任何人提出的各项索赔的总额。       第十条 没有设立责任限制基金的责任限制       １．尽管第十一条所述责任限制基金尚未设立，也可以援引责任限制。但是，缔约国可在其国内法中规定，当在其法院审理须受责任限制的索赔时，只有在责任人已按本公约规定设立责任限制基金，或在援用责任限制权利时设立该项基金，才能援用责任限制的权利。       ２．如在没有设立责任限制基金的情况下援用责任限制，应相应地适用第十二条的规定。       ３．根据本条规定发生的诉讼程序问题，应按受理诉讼的缔约国本国法律决定。       第三章 责任限制基金       第十一条 基金的设立       １．被认定负有责任的任何人，可在提出责任限制索赔诉讼的任何缔约国法院或其他主管当局，设立基金。此项基金应为按照第六条和第七条规定适用于对该责任者提出索赔的金额，加上从事故发生引起责任之日起至基金设立之日为止的利息。此项基金仅可用于支付援用责任限制的索赔。       ２．设立基金可以储存专款，或提出为设立基金的缔约国法律所允许并经法院或其他主管当局认可的担保。       ３．由第九条第１款第（１）、（２）或第（３）项所述当事人之一或其保险人所设立的基金，应被认为是由第１款第（１）、（２）或第（３）项或第２款所述所有当事人所设立。       第十二条 基金的分配       １．根据第六条第１款、第２款和第３款以及第七条的规定，基金应在索赔人之间，依其对该基金确立的索赔额，按比例分配。       ２．如在基金分配之前，责任人或其保险人已就对该基金的索赔付款结案，则他在已付金额范围内，应依代位权获得此受偿人根据本公约所可享有的权利。       ３．本条第２款所规定的代位权，也可由该款所述者之外的人在其已付赠偿金额内行使，但仅以所适用的国内法允许行使此种代位权为限。       ４．如果责任人或任何其他人认定，假若赔偿金在基金分配之前即已付出，他便可能在基金分配之后的某日被强制支付赔偿金额的全部或一部，而根据本第第２款及第３款，该人对此项赔偿本可享有代位权，则基金设在国的法院或主管当局可以下令暂时拨出一个足够数额，以便该人在上述日期对此基金行使其索赔权。       第十三条 其他法律行为的禁止       １．如果责任限制基金已按第十一条的规定设立，则已向基金提出索赔的任何人，不得针对该项索赔而对由其设立或以其名义设立基金的人的任何其他财产，行使任何权利。       ２．责任限制基金已按第十一条规定设立之后，则以其名义设立基金之人所属任何船舶或其财产，凡是因向基金提出索赔而已依缔约国管辖权予以扣押或扣留的属于基金设立人名下的任何船舶或其他财产，或是由他提交的抵押品，均可由该国法院或其主管当局下令开释或退还。而如果此项基金已在下列地点设立，则应一律发出此种开释命令：       （１）已在事故发生港设立，而如事故发生在港外，则已在下一停靠港设立；

１．海船舶所有人对由于下列事故所引起的请求，除引起请求的事故是出于船舶所有人的实际过失或私谋以外，都可以根据本规则第三条限制其责任。上述事故是：       （１）船上所载的任何人的死亡或人身伤害，以及船上任何财物的灭失或损害。       （２）由于应由船舶所有人对其行为，疏忽或过失负责的在船上或不在船上的任何人的行为、疏忽或过失所引起的陆上或水上任何其他人的死亡或人身伤害，任何其他财产的灭失或损害，或任何权利的侵犯。但对于后一种人的行为、疏忽或过失，船舶所有人仅在其行为、疏忽或过失是在驾驶或管理船舶时，或在货物装船、运输或卸船，以及在旅客上船、乘船或上岸时发生，才有权限制其责任。       （３）与清除船舶残骸有关的法律所加于和由于或有关浮起、清除或毁坏任何沉没、搁浅或被弃船舶（包括船上任何物件）而发生的任何义务或责任，以及由于港口工程、港池或航道所造成的损害引起的任何义务与责任。       ２．在本公约中，“人身请求”是指由于死亡或人身伤害而发生的请求；“财物请求”是指本条第１款所述以外的一切其他请求。       ３．在本条第１款所述情况下，即使其责任是由于他对船舶具有所有权、占有权、保管权或控制权而发生的，而在船舶所有人方面，或在船舶所有人应对其行为负责的一些人方面，并无疏忽行为的证明，船舶所有人亦应有限制其责任的权利。       ４．本条不适用于：       （１）救助方面的请求或共同海损分担的请求。       （２）船长、船员、船舶所有人所雇在船上的任何雇佣人员，或船舶所有人所雇其职务与船舶有关的雇佣人员提出的请求：包括其继承人、私人代表或家属的请求在内。如果对于这类请求，根据船舶所有人与上述雇佣人员之间的服务契约所适用的法律，船舶所有人不得限制其责任；或根据这种法律，只能以较本公约第三条所订者为高的金额限制其责任。       ５．如船舶所有人有权就同一事件向请求人提出请求，双方提出的请求应相互抵销，而本公约的规定只适用于其中的差额（如有）。       ６．对于引起请求的事故，是否由于船舶所有人的实际过失或私谋所引起的举证责任问题，须根据法庭地法决定。       ７．要求责任限制的行为，并不构成对于责任的承认。       第二条       １．本公约第三条所规定的责任限制，应适用于在任何个别场合发生的人身请求和财产请求的总额，但对于在任何其他个别场合已经发生或可能发生的任何请求，不考虑在内。       ２．当在任何个别场合发生的请求总额，超过第三条规定的责任限额时，可将代表这项责任限额的总数，作为一项单独的限额基金。       ３．如此设立的基金，只能用以支付与能够要求责任限制有关的请求。       ４．基金设立以后，如该限额基金确为请求人的利益所用，请求人不得就其对该项基金的请求，对船舶所有人所有任何其他财产，行使任何权利。       第三条       １．船舶所有人根据第一条规定，可以限制其责任的金额为：       （１）如事故只引起财产请求，按船舶吨位计算，每吨赔偿总额为１，０００法郎。       （２）如事故只引起人身请求，按船舶吨位计算，每吨赔偿总额为３，１００法郎。       （３）如事故既引起人身请求，又引起财物请求，则按船舶吨位计算，每吨赔偿总额为３，１００法郎，其中第一部分以每吨２，１００法郎计算的款项，应专门用于支付人身请求，而第二部分以每吨１，０００法郎计算的款项，则用于支付财物请求。但如第一部分款项不足以支付全部人身请求，这种请求的未付差额，应与财物请求按比例排列，以第二部分基金支付。       ２．对于每一部分限额基金，应按照已经成立的请求数额的比例，分配给请求人。       ３．如在分配基金以前，船舶所有人对于第一条第１款所述任何请求，已经支付全部或一部分款项，则对该项基金来说，该船舶所有人应按比例安排在已由其偿付的请求人相同的地位，参加分配，但其数额仅以由其偿付的请求人，根据基金所在国国内法有权向他要求偿还的数额为限。       ４．如船舶所有人提出，他对于第一条第１款所述请求的全部或一部分款项，将在日后被强制支付，基金所在国的法院或其他主管当局，得发布命令，将一笔足够的款项暂时存放，以便船舶所有人能在日后按前款所述方式，就该项基金满足他的请求。       ５．为了按照本条规定确定船舶所有人限额，不足３００吨的船舶应为３００吨。       ６．本条所述法郎，应视为指含６５．５毫克９００‰的纯金的货币单位而言。本条第一款所述的数额，应在要求限制其责任的国家，按船舶所有人设立限额基金、支付款项或提出根据该国法律等于支付款额的保证的日期，根据上述货币单位的价值折合为该国货币。       ７．本公约所述船舶吨位应按下列方式计算：       对于蒸汽机船或其他动机船舶，应采用净吨，加上为确定净吨而从总吨中减去的机舱所占空间。       对于其余一切船舶，应采用净吨。       第四条       在不妨碍本公约第三条第二款的条件下，关于设立和分配限额基金的规则，以及一切程序规则，应受基金所在国家的法律约束。       第五条       １．当船舶所有人有权根据本公约限制其责任，而其所拥有的船舶或另一艘船舶或其他财产，已在一个缔约国管辖区域内被扣，或为避免被扣已经提出保证金或其他担保，如能确定该船舶所有人已经提出充分保证金或保全，其数额相等于他在本公约规定下所应承担的全部责任限额，而这样提出的保证或其他保全，对于请求人的利益，按照其应享的权利，又真实有用，则该缔约国的法庭或其他主管部门得下令将上述船舶或其他财产，或所提出的保全发还。       ２．在本公约第一款所述情况下，如已在下列港口提交保证金或其他保全，则该法院或其他主管机关应根据本条第一款所述条件，下令放还船舶、保证金或其他保全，这些港口是：       （１）引起请求的事故发生的港口；       （２）如事故不在港内发生，则为事故发生后的第一个停泊港；       （３）如果请求是人身请求，或有关货物损害的请求，则为旅客上岸港或卸货港；       ３．如已经提出的保证金或其他保全的数额，少于本公约所规定的全部责任限额，在对其差额提出充分的保证金或其他保全的情况下，本条第１、２款的规定同样适用。       ４．如船舶所有人已提交相等于其在本公约规定下的全部责任限额的保证金或其他保全，这种保证金或其他保全，应用以支付在一个特定场合发生的一切请求，而船舶所有人得在这方面限制其责任。       ５．关于根据本公约规定提起诉讼的程序和起诉时效问题，应根据诉讼所在缔约国的国内法决定。       第六条       １．在本公约内，船舶所有人的责任，包括船舶本身的责任在内。       ２．除本条第３款另有规定外，本公约的条款应与适用于船舶所有人本身同样，适用于船舶的承租人、经理人和营运人，以及船长、船员和为船舶所有人、承租人、经理人或营运人服务的其他雇佣人员；但对发生于一个特定场合的人身请求和财物请求，船舶所有人和上述一切其他人员的责任限额总数，不得超过根据本公约第三条所确定的金额。       ３．对船长或船员提起诉讼时，即使引起索赔的事故是由于其中一人或数人的实际过失或私谋而发生，他们亦可限制其责任。但如船长或船员同时是船舶的所有人、共有人、承租人、经理人和营运人，则仅在其行为、疏忽或过失是该有关人员以该船船长或船员身分作出时，才能适用本款规定。       第七条       当船舶所有人或根据第六条规定具有与船舶所有人相同权利的任何人，在一个缔约国的法庭上限制或要求限制其责任，或要求放还被扣船舶或其他财产，或在该国管辖区域内提交的保证金或其他保全时，本公约应予适用。       但每一缔约国对于任何非缔约国，或根据第五条规定要求限制其责任，或放还其被扣船舶或其他财产，或其提交的保证金或其他保全时，不经常住在某一缔约国或在某一缔约国内设有主要营业所的任何人，或要求限制其责任或将其释放，而在上述期间未悬挂缔约国国旗的任何船舶，都有权剥夺其根据本公约应享的全部或一部分权益。       第八条       各缔约国保留确定某种其他类型船舶得与海船同样适用本公约的权利。

５．“油类”是指任何持久性油类，例如原油、燃料油、重柴油、润滑油以及鲸油，不论是作为货物装运于船上，或作为这类船舶的燃料。       ６．“油污损害”是指由于船舶逸出或排放油类（不论这种逸出或排放发生在何处）后，在运油船舶本身以外因污染而产生的灭失损害，并包括预防措施的费用以及由于采取预防措施而造成的进一步灭失或损害。       ７．“预防措施”是指事件发生后为防止或减轻污染损害由任何人所采取的任何合理措施。       ８．“事件”是指造成污染损害的任何事故，或由于同一原因所引起的一系列事故。       ９．“海协”是指政府间海事协商组织。       第二条 本公约仅适用于在缔约国领土和领海上发生的污染损害和为防止或减轻这种损害而采取的预防措施。       第三条       １．除本条第２款和第３款另有规定以外，在事件发生时，或如事件包括一系列事故，在此种事故第一次发生时，船舶所有人应对该事件引起的漏油或排油所造成的污染损害负责。       ２．船舶所有人如能证实损害系属于以下情况，即对之不负责任：       （１）由于战争行为、敌对行为、内战或武装暴动，或特殊的、不可避免的和不可抗拒性质的自然现象所引起的损害；       （２）完全是由于第三者有意造成损害的行为或怠慢所引起的损害；       （３）完全是由于负责灯塔或其他助航设备的政府或其他主管当局在执行其职责时，疏忽或其他过失行为所造成的损害。       ３．如船舶所有人证明，污染损害完全或部分地由于遭受损害人有意造成损害的行为或怠慢而引起，或是由于该人的疏忽所造成，则该船舶所有人即可全部或部分地免除对该人所负的责任。       ４．不得要求船舶所有人对本公约没有规定的污染损害作出赔偿。不得要求船舶所有人的工作人员或代理人对本公约规定的或其他的污染损害作出赔偿。       ５．本公约的任何条款不得有损于船舶所有人向第三者要求赔偿的权利。       ＊ 本公约签字国见“１９６９年海上污染损害国际法律会议最后议定书”第五款注有双星记号的国家。       第四条 如发生两艘或多艘船舶逸出或排放油类，因而造成油污损害时，则全部有关船舶的所有人，除非依第三条免责，都应对按情理分不开的损害合联地和个别地负责任。       第五条       １．船舶所有人有权将他依本公约对任何一个事件的责任限定为按船舶吨位计算赔偿总额每一吨２０００法郎，但这种赔偿总额绝对不得超过２亿１千万法郎。       ２．如事故是由于船舶所有人的实际过失或暗中参与所造成，船舶所有人无权利用本条第一款规定的责任限度。       ３．为取得本条第一款规定的责任限度的权利，船舶所有人应在按第九条规定提出诉讼的任一缔约国里的法院或其他主管当局设立相当其责任限度总数的基金。建立该项基金可采取照数存入银行的方法或是采取按设立基金的缔约国法律可以接受的、经法院或其他主管机关认可的银行担保或其他担保的方法。       ４．该项基金应在索赔人之间依其确定的索赔额比例分配。       ５．在分配本金以前，如船舶所有人或其任何工作人员或代理人，或向其提供保险或其他财务保证的任何人员，由于所述事件而支付油污损害赔偿，则上述人员在其支付数额范围内应以代位获得受赔偿的人根据本公约所应享有的权利。       ６．本条第５款所规定的代位行使权利也可由该款所提到的人员以外的对油污损害已支付任何赔偿金额的任何人行使，但这种代位行使权利仅以所适用的国内法所许可者为限。       ７．如船舶所有人或任何其他人确证，他又能在后被强制支付此种赔偿金额的全部或一部分，并由此可依本条第５款或第６款享有代位行使权利，若是赔偿在基金分配出去以前付出，则基金所在国法院或其他主管当局得命令暂时留出一个足够的数目，使该人以后能向基金索赔。       ８．对于船舶所有人主动防止或减轻油污损害因而引起的合理费用或所作的合理牺牲所提出的索赔，就基金来说，应与其他索赔处于等同地位。       ９．本条所述法郎指含有纯度为９００‰。的黄金６５．５毫克的法郎。本条第（一）款所述金额，应根据设立基金之日基金所在国的货币与上述货币单位的比值，折合为基金所在国的货币。       １０．在本条中，船舶吨位应为净吨位再加上为计算净吨位对机舱部分从总吨位中所减除的数额。对于不能按照标准的吨位丈量规则测定的船舶，该船舶的吨位应为该船所能装运油类的重量吨（每吨２２４０磅）的４０％。       １１．保险人或提供财务保证的其他人有权按照本条的规定建立基金，其条件和效力与船舶所有人建立的基金相同。即使确有船舶所有人的过失或暗中参与，也可设立这项基金，但在这种情况下，基金的设立不应妨碍任何向船舶所有人索赔的权利。       第六条       １．当船舶所有人在事件发生之后已按第五条规定设立一项基金并有权限制其责任范围时，则：       （１）对上述事件造成的油污损害提出索赔的任何人不得就其索赔对船舶所有人的任何其他财产行使任何权利。       （２）各缔约国的法院或其他主管当局应下令退还由于对该事件造成的油污损害提出索赔而扣留的属于船舶所有人的任何船舶或其他财产，对为避免扣留而提出的保证金或其他保证金或其他保证也同样应予退还。       ２．但上述规定只在索赔人能向管理基金的法院提出索赔，并且该基金对他的索赔确能支付的情况下才适用。       第七条       １．在缔约国登记的载运２千吨以上散装货油的船舶的船舶所有人必须进行保险或取得其财务保证，如银行保证或国际赔偿基金出具的证书等，保证数额按第五条第（一）款中规定的责任限度决定，以便按本公约规定承担其对油污损害所应负的责任。       ２．应对每一船舶颁发一项证书，证明该船按本公约规定进行的保险或取得的其他财务保证具有实效。此项证书应由船舶登记国的有关当局在断定已符合本条第（一）款的要求之后颁发证明。证书的格式以所附范本为准，并应包括下列各项：       （１）船名和船籍港；       （２）船舶所有人名称和其总营运地点；       （３）保证的类别；       （４）保险人或提供保证的其他人的姓名及其总营业地点，并根据情况，包括所设立的保险或保证的营业地点；       （５）证书的有效期限，该期限不得长于保险或其他保证的有效期限。       ３．证书应以颁发国的一种或数种官方文字颁发，如所用文字既非英文又非法文，则应包括译成该２种文字之一的译文。       ４．该证书应保留在船上，并应将副本送交保存船舶登记记录的当局存档。       ５．一项保险或其他财务保证，如果不是由于本条第２款所述证明书上规定的该保险或保证的有效期限期满的原因，而是在向本条第４款所指的当局送交终止通知书之日起３个月未满即予以终止，应属不符合本条的要求，除非该证书已送交上述有关当局，或在此期间内已签发新的证书。上述规定应同样适用于使保险或保证不再满足本公约的各项要求而作的任何修改。       ６．船舶登记国应按本条各项规定决定证书的签发条件和有效期限。       ７．一个缔约国当局颁发或签证的证书在本公约范围内其他各缔约国应予以接受，并应认为与它们签发的证书具有同等效力、如一缔约国认为，证书上所列的保险人或保证人在财力上不能承担本公约所规定的各项义务，则可随时要求与船舶登记国进行协商。       ８．对油污损害的任何索赔可向承担船舶所有人油污损害责任的保险人或提供财务保证的其他人直接提出。在上述情况下，被告人可不问船舶所有人的实际过失或暗中参与而援用第五条第１款所规定的责任限度。被告人可以进一步提出船舶所有人本人有权援引的答辩（船舶所有人已告破产或关闭者不在此例）。除此以外，被告人可以提出答辩，说明油污损害是由于船舶所有人的有意的不当行为所造成，但不得提出他有权在船舶所有人向他提出的诉讼中所援引的答辩。在任何情况下，被告人有权要求船舶所有人参加诉讼。       ９．按照本条第１款规定保险或其他财务保证所提供的任何款项应仅用于根据本公约提出的索赔。       １０．除非根据本条第２款或第１２款已予签发证书，各缔约国不得允许本条适用的悬挂其旗帜的船舶从事营运。       １１．除本条的各项规定外，各缔约国应根据其国内法担保：在本条第１款规定范围内的保险或其他保证，对于进入或驶离其领土上的某一港口、或抵达或驶离其领海范围内的某一海上终点站的任一船舶，不论该船在何处登记，只要该船上确实装有２０００吨以上的散装货油，都是有效的。       １２．如果为缔约国所有的船舶未进行保险或未取得其他财务保证，本条与此有关的各项规定不得适用于该船。但该船应备有一份由船舶登记国有关当局签发的证书，声明该船为该国所有，并且该船在第五条第１款规定的限度内担负责任。上述证书应尽可能严格遵照本条第二款所规定的范本。       第八条 如果不能在损害发生之日起３年内提出诉讼，按本公约要求赔偿的权利即告失效。无论如何不得在引起损害的事件发生之日起６年之后提出诉讼。如该事件包括一系列事故，６年的期限应自第一个事故发生之日起算。       第九条       １．当在一个或若干个缔约国领土（包括领海）内发生了油污损害事件，或在上述领土（包括领海）内采取了防止或减轻油污损害的预防措施的情况下，赔偿诉讼只能向上述的一个或若干个缔约国的法院提出，任何上述诉讼的合理通知均应送交给被告人。       ２．每一缔约国都应保证它的法院具有处理上述赔偿诉讼的必要管辖权。       ３．在按照第五条规定设立基金之后，基金所在国的法院可以独自决定有关基金分摊和分配的一切事项。       第十条       １．由具有第九条所述管辖权的法院所作的任何判决，如可在原判决国实施而不再需通常复审手续时，除下列情况外，应为各缔约国所承认：       （１）判决是以欺骗取得；       （２）未给被告人以合理的通知和陈述其立场的公正机会。       ２．按本条第１款确认的判决，一经履行各缔约国所规定的各项手续之后，应在各该国立即实施，在各项手续中不允许重提该案的是非。       第十一条       １．本公约各项规定不适用于军舰或其他为国家所有或经营的在当时仅用于政府的非商业性服务的船舶。       ２．关于为缔约国所有而用于商业目的的船舶，每一国都应接受第九条所规定的管辖权受理的控告，并放弃一切以主权国地位为根据的答辩。       第十二条 本公约应代替正在施行中的或在本公约开放签字之日对签字、批准或加入开放的任何国际公约，但只限于与本公约有抵触者。但是本规定不得影响根据上述国际公约缔约国对非缔约国应负的各项义务。       第十三条       １．本公约将保持开放至１９７０年１２月１３日，以供签字，此后将继续开放以供接受。       ２．联合国或任何专门机构或国际原子能机构的成员国，或国际法院规约缔约国，可按下列方式成为本公约缔约国：       （１）签字，并对批准、接受或承认无保留；       （２）签字并对批准、接受或承认作出保留，随后予以批准、接受或承认；       （３）加入。       第十四条       １．批准、接受、承认或加入应当以正式文件送交海协秘书长收存，方为有效。

Victims should be fully and adequately compensated under a systembased upon the principle of strict liability.    2. The fund should in principle relieve the shipowner of theadditional financial burden imposed by the present Convention.    Requests IMCO to convene, not later than the year 1971, anInternational Legal Conference for the consideration and adoption of sucha compensation scheme.          RESOLUTION ON REPORT OF THE WORKING GROUP ON THE "FUND"     The Conference,    Having taken note of the report of the Working Group on the "Fund",LEG/CONF/ C.2/WP.45,    Requests the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization toconsider this report in connection with further work with regard to the"Fund".
