Q. 10 Why STCW 95 but MARPOL 73/78 ? 1 ) STCW 95 completely revised the STCW 78 which was in force. MARPOL 73 was not yet in force when the Protocol of 78 came . MARPOL 73 already covered pollution by Oil, Chemicals,Harmful substances in packaged form, sewage and Garbage. Protocol of 78 added measures related to tanker design and operation (like COW). Thus while STCW 95 completely revised STCW 78 , MARPOL protocol 78 added new measures, hence MARPOL is referred as -

Q. 2 What is MLC ?Explain in detail what is the most important feature of MLC ? 1 ) 1. What is the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006?
It is an important new international labour Convention that was adopted by the International Labour Conference of the International Labour Organization (ILO), under article 19 of its Constitution at a maritime session in February 2006 in Geneva, Switzerland. It sets out seafarers rights to decent conditions of work and helps to create conditions of fair competition for shipowners. It is intended to be globally applicable, easily understandable, readily updatable and uniformly enforced. The Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 has been designed to become a global legal instrument that, once it enters into force, will be the the fourth pillar of the international regulatory regime for quality shipping, complementing the key Conventions of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) such as the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, as amended (SOLAS), the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping, 1978, as amended (STCW) and the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 73/78 (MARPOL).
2. Why is it also sometimes called the consolidated Maritime Labour Convention, 2006? The Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 contains a comprehensive set of global standards, based on those that are already found in 68 maritime labour instruments (Conventions and
Recommendations), adopted by the ILO since 1920. The new Convention brings almost all of the existing maritime labour instruments together in a single new Convention that uses a new format with some updating, where necessary, to reflect modern conditions and language. The Convention consolidates the existing international law on all these matters. The Conventions addressing the seafarers identity documents were recently revised in 2003 (Convention Nos. 108 and 185) and are not included in the new Convention. In addition, the Seafarers Pension Convention, 1946 (No. 71) and one Convention (The Minimum Age (Trimmers and Stokers) Convention, 1921 (No. 15)), which is no longer relevant to the sector, are not consolidated by the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006.
3. When will the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 come into force and what will happen to the existing The Convention will enter into Conventions? force:
" 12 months after the date on which there have been registered ratifications by at least 30 Members with a total share in the world gross tonnage of ships of 33 per cent."
This is a much higher than the usual ratification level (for ILO Conventions) and it uses a new formula that is intended to assure greater actual impact of the Convention. It reflects the fact
that
the
enforcement
and
compliance
system
established
under
the
Convention
needs
widespread international cooperation in order to be effective. Since many of the obligations under the Convention are directed to shipowners and flag States it is important that ILO Members with a strong maritme interest and a high level of tonnage operating under their legal jurisdiction ratify the Convention.
The existing ILO maritime labour Conventions will be gradually phased out as ILO Member States that have ratified those Conventions ratify the new Convention, but there will be a transitional period when some parallel Conventions will be in force. Countries that ratify the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 will no longer be bound by the existing Conventions when the new Convention comes into force for them. Countries that do not ratify the new Convention will remain bound by the existing Conventions they have ratified, but those Conventions will be closed to further ratification. 4. Why was a new Convention needed?
The decision by the ILO to move forward to create this major new maritime labour Convention was the result of a joint resolution in 2001 by the international seafarers and shipowners organizations, later supported by governments. They pointed out that the shipping industry is the worlds first genuinely global industry which requires an international regulatory response of an appropriate kind global standards applicable to the entire industry. The industry called on the ILO to develop an instrument which brings together into a consolidated text as much of the existing body of ILO instruments as it proves possible to achieve as a matter of priority in order to improve the relevance of those standards to the needs of all the stakeholders of the maritime sector. It was felt that the very large number of the existing maritime Conventions, many of which are very detailed, made it difficult for governments to ratify and to enforce all of the standards. Many of the standards were out of date and did not reflect contemporary working and living conditions on board ships. In addition, there was a need to develop a more effective enforcement and compliance system that would help to eliminate substandard ships and that would work within the well-established international system for enforcement of the international standards for ship safety and security and environmental protection that have been adopted by the 5. Does International the new Maritime Convention deal Organization with any new (IMO). subjects?
The Convention is organized into three main parts: the Articles coming first set out the broad principles and obligations.
This is followed by the more detailed Regulations and Code (with two parts: Parts A and B) provisions. The Regulations and the Standards (Part A) and Guidelines (Part B) in the Code are integrated and Title Title Title Title Title 4: 3: organized 1: into general requirements areas for of concern to of facilities, welfare and food social and security under work five on a Titles: ship
Minimum 2:
seafarers
Conditions recreational medical care,
employment catering protection
Accommodation, protection, 5:
Health
Compliance
and
enforcement.
These five Titles essentially cover the same subject matter as the existing 68 maritime labour instruments, updating them where necessary.
It occasionally contains new subjects, particularly in the area of occupational safety and health to meet current health concerns, such as the effects of noise and vibration on workers or other workplace risks.
The provisions relating to flag State inspections, the use of recognized organizations and the potential for inspections in foreign ports (port State control) in Title 5 are based on existing maritime labour Conventions; however, the new Convention builds upon them to develop a more effective approach to these important issues, consistent with other international maritime Conventions that establish standards for quality shipping with respect to issues such as ship safety and security and protection of the marine environment.
6. Why do we need effective international standards for seafarers conditions of work? In ships flying the flags of countries that do not exercise effective jurisdiction and control over them, as required by international law, seafarers often have to work under unacceptable conditions, to the detriment of their well-being, health and safety and the safety of the ships on which they work.
Since seafarers working lives are spent outside the home country and their employers are also often not based in their country, effective international standards are necessary for this sector. Of course these standards must also be implemented at a national level, particularly by governments that have a ship registry and authorize ships to fly their countries flags. This is already well recognized in connection with ensuring the safety and security of ships and protecting the marine environment.
It is also important to understand that there are many flag States and shipowners that take pride in providing the seafarers on their ships with decent conditions of work.
These countries and shipowners face unfair competition in that they pay the price of being undercut by shipowners which operate substandard ships.
7. Are the standards in the new Convention lower than existing maritime labour standards? No, the aim is to maintain the standards in the current maritime labour Conventions at their present level, while leaving each country greater discretion in the formulation of their national laws establishing that level of protection.
8. How will the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 protect more of the worlds seafarers? The Convention aims to achieve worldwide protection for all seafarers. It seeks to meet this goal in a number of ways. It is estimated that there are over 1.2 million people working at sea in the world. Until now it had not been clear that all of these people, particularly for example, those that work on board ships but are not directly involved in navigating or operating the ship, such as many personnel that work on passenger ships, would be considered seafarers. The new Convention clearly defines a seafarer as any person who is employed or engaged or works in any capacity on board a ship that is covered by the Convention. Except for a few specific exclusions and areas where flexibility is provided for national authorities to exempt smaller ships (200 gross tonnage and below) that do not go on international voyages from some aspects of the Convention, the Convention applies to all ships (and to the seafarers on those ships) whether

engaged traditionali or build
Many existing maritime labour Conventions have a low ratification level. The new Convention has been designed specifically to address this problem. More protection of seafarers will be achieved by the early ratification and national-level implementation of the new Convention by the vast majority of ILO nations active in the maritime sector, as is the case of the key Conventions of the International Maritime Organization (IMO): SOLAS, STCW and MARPOL.
9. How does the new Convention make it easier for countries to ratify it and to implement its requirements? Both the Constitution of the ILO and many ILO instruments seek to take account of national circumstances and provide for some flexibility in application of Conventions, with a view to gradually improving protection of workers, by taking into account the specific situation in some sectors and the diversity of national circumstances. Flexibility is usually based on principles of tripartism, transparency and accountability. When flexibility with respect to a Convention is exercised by a government it usually involves consultation with the workers and employers organizations concerned, with any determinations that are made reported to the ILO by the government concerned. This is seen as a necessary and important approach to ensuring that all countries, irrespective of national circumstances, can engage with the international legal system and that international obligations are respected and implemented, to the extent possible, while also making efforts to improve conditions. This is particularly important for an international industry such as shipping.
The Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 generally follows this approach as well as also providing for additional flexibility, relevant to the sector, at a national level. The Convention seeks to be firm on rights and flexible on implementation. A major obstacle to the ratification of existing maritime labour Conventions is the excessive detail in many of them. The new Convention sets out the basic rights of seafarers to decent work in firm statements, but leaves a large measure of flexibility to ratifying countries as to how they will implement these standards for decent work in their The areas of flexibility in national the Convention include the laws. following:
i the Seafarers Employment and Social Rights set out in Article IV are to be fully implemented, in accordance with the requirements of this Convention (in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Articles, Regulations and Part A of the Code); however, unless specified otherwise in the Convention, national implementation may be achieved through national laws or regulations, through applicable collective bargaining agreements or through other measures or in practice;
implementation of the mandatory standards in Part A of the Codei (other than Title 5) may also
be
achieved
through
measures
which
are
substantially
equivalent;
many of the prescriptive or detailedi requirements in existng Conventions which had created difficulties for some governments interested in ratifying the Convention are now found in the Guidelines, which are in Part B of the Code. The provisions of Part B of the Code are not mandatory and are not subject to port State inspections, however governments are required to give due consideration to their content when implementing their obligations;
the requirements of the Convention, otheri than the ship certification system, will apply to most ships (it does not apply to fishing vessels, ships of traditional build or warships); however, the application of details in the Code may be relaxed for some smaller ships 200 gross tonnage (GT) and below that do not go on international voyages. This determination would be made in consultation with shipowners and seafarers organizations concerned;
all ships covered by the Convention would bei subject to the inspection system developed by the flag State but the certification system is only mandatory for ships of 500 gross tonnage and above that are engaged in international voyages (or are operating between ports in a foreign country). The certification system will certify that the ship is being operated in conformity with the Conventions requirements as implemented in the laws or regulations of the flag State concerned (in the case of other ships, the shipowners can also request their flag State to include their ships in the certification system so as to avoid or reduce the likelihood of their being inspected in foreign ports);
the Convention expressly recognizes that somei flag States may make use of recognized organizations such as classification societies to carry out aspects of the ship certification system on their behalf;
provisions affecting ship construction and equipment (Title 3) willi not apply to ships constructed before the Convention comes into force for the country concerned. Smaller ships (200 gross tonnage and below) may be exempted from specific accommodation requirements; specific allowance is made fori making determinations at a national level through consultation with shipowners and seafarers organizations "in case of doubt" as to the application of the Convention to categories of persons or ships or a particular ship. A Resolution was adopted along with the Convention which provides guidance to national authorities on the question of who would be considered "seafarers" in this context;
provision is made for the situation of countries that may not havei national organizations of shipowners or seafarers to consult;
provision isi made for national circumstances and for bilateral, multilateral and other arrangements in connection with social security coverage.
10. Will the shipowners duties and responsibilities cover seafarers whose work does not relate to the navigation or safe operation of the ship?
Yes, shipowners (or ship operators) have the overall responsibility as employers with respect to all seafarers working on their ships. It is understood that they could make arrangements with persons who may also have responsibility for the employment of particular seafarers, enabling the shipowners to recover the costs involved, for example.
11. Why is the new Convention likely to achieve the aim of near universal ratification?
Because the Convention was adopted by a record vote of 314 in favour and none against (two countries abstained for reasons unrelated to the substance of the Convention), after nearly two weeks of detailed review by over 1,000 participants drawn from 106 countries. This almost unprecedented level of support reflects the lengthy tripartite consultation exercise and the unswerving support that has been shown for it by the governments and workers and employers who have worked together since 2001 to develop the Convention text. It will also achieve near universal ratification because of its blend of firmness on rights and flexibility with respect to approaches to implementation of the more technical requirements and because of the advantages 12. What it will gives be to the the ships for of countries ships of that ratifying ratify it.
advantages
countries?
The ships of ratifying countries that provide decent conditions of work for their seafarers will have protection against unfair competition from substandard ships and will benefit from a system of certification, avoiding or reducing the likelihood of lengthy delays related to inspections in foreign ports.
13. How will the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 improve compliance and enforcement? The Maritime Labour Convention, 2006, aims to establish a continuous compliance awareness at every stage, from the national systems of protection up to the international system. This starts with the individual seafarers, who under the Convention have to be properly informed of their rights and of the remedies available in case of alleged non-compliance with the requirements of the Convention and whose right to make complaints, both on board ship and ashore, is recognized in the Convention. It continues with the shipowners. Those that own or operate ships of 500 gross tonnage and above, engaged in international voyages or voyages between foreign ports, are required to develop and carry out plans for ensuring that the applicable national laws, regulations or other measures to implement the Convention are actually being complied with. The masters of these ships are then responsible for carrying out the shipowners stated plans, and for keeping proper records to evidence implementation of the requirements of the Convention. As part of its updated responsibilities for the labour inspections for ships above 500 gross tonnage that are engaged in international voyages or voyages between foreign ports, the flag State (or recognized organization on its behalf) will review the shipowners plans and verify and certify that they are actually in place and being implemented. Ships will then be required to carry a maritime labour certificate and a declaration of maritime labour compliance on board. Flag States will also be expected to ensure that national laws and regulations implementing the Conventions standards are respected on smaller ships that are not covered by the certification system. Flag States will carry out periodic quality assessments of the effectiveness of their national systems of compliance, and their reports to the ILO under article 22 of the Constitution will need to provide information on their inspection and certification systems, including on their methods of quality assessment. This general inspection system in the flag State (which is founded on ILO Convention No. 178) is complemented by procedures to be followed in countries that are also or even primarily the source of the worlds supply of seafarers, which will similarly be reporting under article 22 of the ILO Constitution. The system is further reinforced by voluntary measures for inspections in foreign ports (port State control).
14. What are the maritime labour certificate and the declaration of maritime labour compliance? The Appendices to the Convention contain key model documents: a maritime labour certificate and a declaration of maritime labour compliance. The certificate would be issued by the flag State to a ship that flies its flag, once the State (or a recognized organization that has been authorized to carry out the inspections), has verified that the labour conditions on the ship comply with national laws and regulations implementing the Convention. The certificate would be valid for five years subject to periodic inspections by the flag State. The declaration is attached to the certificate and summarizes the national laws or regulations implementing an agreed-upon list of 14 areas of the maritime standards and setting out the shipowners or operators plan for ensuring that the national requirements implementing the Convention will be maintained on the ship between inspections. The lists of the 14 areas that must be certified by the flag State and that may be inspected, if an inspection occurs, in a foreign port are also set out in the Appendices to the Convention.
15. What is meant by no more favourable treatment for ships of non-ratifying countries? These words appear in Article V, paragraph 7, of the Convention. The idea, which is also found in IMO Conventions, is that ships must not be placed at a disadvantage because their country has ratified the new Convention. The practical consequence comes out clearly in the port State control provisions of Title 5 of the Convention, under which ships of all countries (irrespective of ratification) will be subject to inspection in any country that has ratified the Convention, and to possible detention if they do not meet the minimum standards of the new Convention. 16. How will respect for the new Convention actually be enforced?
The new Convention is intended to achieve more compliance by operators and owners of ships and to strengthen enforcement of standards through mechanisms which operate at all levels. For complaint shipowners flag port andi example, procedures shipmasters jurisdiction it contains available supervision and of control ofi provisions to conditions over foreign on for: seafarers;i their their ships; ships; ships.

By requiring ratifying Members not only to implement thei Convention in the national laws but also to document their implementation, the Convention should also enhance the effectiveness of the supervision carried out at the international level, especially by the competent bodies of the ILO. 17. How will the new Convention be kept more up to date than the existing Conventions? The part of the Convention which is expected to need updating from time to time, namely the two-part Code relating to the technical and detailed implementation of the basic obligations under the Convention, can be amended under an accelerated procedure (tacit acceptance) (provided for in Article XV) enabling changes to come into effect, for all or almost all ratifying countries, 18.

Conventions?
amendment
Both types of amendment procedure under Article XIV for the Convention as a whole, and Article XV for amendments only to the Code are based to a certain extent on procedures that are already well established in another agency of the United Nations, the International Maritime Organization (IMO). However, the Article XIV express ratification procedure is closer to the present ILO procedure for revising Conventions. The accelerated or tacit acceptance procedure under Article XV follows the IMO procedures especially with respect to the submission of amendments to Member States and their entry into effect; the main difference relates to the adoption of amendments: here (unlike under the IMO procedures) non-ratifying Members play a role and amendments have to be approved by the International Labour Conference, open to all ILO 20. What are the novel features of the new Members. Convention?
There are several novel features as far as the ILO is concerned. The whole structure of the new Convention differs from that of traditional ILO Conventions. It consists of the basic provisions, i.e. the Articles and Regulations, followed by atwo-part Code and divided into five Titles, one of which is devoted to compliance and enforcement. The Regulations and the Code, which contains Standards Title Title Title Title Title 4: 3: 1: and Guidelines, are for organized seafarers under to of facilities, welfare and food social the work five on ai Titles. ship

and
enforcement.
There is also an Explanatory note to further assist Members implementing the Convention. The Convention also uses a new "vertically integrated" format with a numbering system that links the Regulations, Standards and Guidelines. Each Regulation also has a "plain language" purpose clause. For Regulation 1.2 Medical example: certificate
Purpose: To ensure that all seafarers are medically fit to perform their duties at sea 1. Seafarers shall not work on a ship unless they are certified as medically fit to perform their duties. ... Standard A1.2 Medical certificate
1. The competent authority shall require that, prior to beginning work on a ship, seafarers hold a valid medical certificate attesting that they are medically fit to perform the duties they are to carry ... Guideline B1.2 Medical certificate out at sea.
Guideline
B1.2.1
International
Guidelines...
Other innovations are the amendment procedures and the system for the certification of ships. However, most of these novel features are based on those of the instruments of other organizations, especially the IMO. One unique feature relates to the special status of the nonmandatory Part B of the Code and its relationship with the mandatory Part A.
21. What is meant by the special status of Part B of the Code and why was it needed? The status of Part B of the Code is based on the idea of firmness on principle and rights combined with flexibility in implementation. Without this innovation the new Convention could never aspire to wide-scale ratification: many of the provisions of existing maritime labour Conventions, which relate to the method of implementing basic seafarers rights (rather than to the content of those rights), have been transferred to the non-mandatory Part B Guidelines of the Code. Their placement in the mandatory Regulations and Part A (Standards) could have resulted in clear obstacles to ratification.
The special status is reflected in the following agreed set of questions and answers:

Answer: No, but if it does not follow the guidance it may vis--vis the competent bodies of the International Labour Organization need to justify the way in which it has implemented the corresponding mandatory provisions of the consolidated Convention.
22. Since Part B is not mandatory, why is it part of the Convention and not the subject of an international labour Recommendation?
Part A and Part B of the Code are interrelated. The provisions of Part B, called Guidelines, while not mandatory, are helpful and sometimes essential for a proper understanding of the Regulations and the mandatory Standards in Part A. In some cases, the mandatory Standards in Part A are so generally worded it may be difficult to implement them without the guidance in the corresponding 23. Can an ILO provisions Convention legally of contain Part non-mandatory B. provisions?
There is no reason why mandatory provisions should not be complemented by non-mandatory ones. There are precedents in international labour Conventions where the non-mandatory should is used rather than the mandatory shall.
24. Why does there sometimes appear to be some duplication between the Regulations and Part A of the Code of the Convention?
The Regulations, which will be approved by parliaments or legislatures during the national ratification processes, not only set out the basic rights of seafarers but also govern the content of the Code, including its possible future content after amendment under the accelerated procedure. Every provision of Part A of the Code must come within the general scope of the Articles or Regulations to be valid. This requirement sometimes leads to a measure of duplication. 25. Will the Convention also require ratifying countries to apply the ILOs core human rights Conventions or other Conventions mentioned in the new Convention?
No, but they will under Article III of the Convention have to satisfy themselves that their laws and regulations respect, in the context of the Convention, the fundamental rights, such as freedom of association, that are embodied in the core Conventions (there would be no requirement concerning the actual provisions of those Conventions).
The fact that other international Conventions are referred to in the Preamble or other parts of the Convention does not create a legal obligation, with respect to those Conventions, for a country that ratifies the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006.

The Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) of ships was established as an international system on 19 May 2006 by the [(International Maritime Organization)] (IMO) as resolution MSC.202(81). This resolution amends chapter V of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), regulation 19-1 and binds all governments which have contracted to the IMO.
The LRIT regulation will apply to the following ship types engaged on international voyages:
* * * Cargo
All ships,
passenger including Mobile high
ships speed craft of
including 300 gross
high-speed tonnage drilling and above,
craft, and units.
offshore
These ships must report their position to their Flag Administration at least four times a day. Most vessels set their existing satellite communications systems to automatically make these reports. Other contracting governments may request information about vessels in which they have a legitimate interest under the regulation.
The LRIT system consists of the already installed (generally) shipborne satellite communications equipment, Communications Service Providers (CSPs), Application Service Providers (ASPs), LRIT Data Centres, the LRIT Data Distribution Plan and the International LRIT Data Exchange. Certain aspects of the performance of the LRIT system are reviewed or audited by the LRIT Coordinator acting on behalf of the IMO and its Contracting Governments.
Some[who?] confuse the functions of LRIT with that of AIS ([[Automatic Identification System]), a collision avoidance system also mandated by the IMO, which operates in the VHF radio band, with a range only slightly greater than line-of-sight. (See AIS) While AIS was originally designed for short-range operation as a collision avoidance and navigational aid, it has now been shown to be possible to receive AIS signals by satellite in many, but not all, parts of the world. This is becoming known as S-AIS and is completely different from LRIT. The only similarity is that AIS is
also collected from space for determining location of vessels, but requires no action from the vessels themselves except they must have their AIS system turned on. LRIT requires the active, willing participation of the vessel involved, which is, in and of itself, a very useful indication as to whether the vessel in question is a lawful actor. Thus the information collected from the two systems, S-AIS and LRIT, are mutually complementary, and S-AIS clearly does not make LRIT superfluous in any manner. Indeed, because of co-channel interference near densely populated or congested sea areas satellites are having a difficult time in detecting AIS from space in those areas. Fixes are under development by several organizations, but how effective they will be remains anshuman (83) This comment has not been rated. Please Rate : to be seen.

2 ) A shipmaster may also be liable in tort for a variety of civil wrongs claimed to have been done to third parties, an example being the successful suing by a passenger of the master of the P&O liner Himalaya in Adler v. Dixon (1954). As a result of the judgement in that case, many shipowners now insert a "Himalaya Clause" into their contracts of carriage or passage, in order to protect their servants and contractors from liability for wrongs committed during the course of their JAHAJEE (2715) This comment has not been rated.

3 ) A Himalaya clause is a contractual provision expressed to be for the benefit of a third party who is not a party to the contract. Although theoretically applicable to any form of contract, most of the jurisprudence relating to Himalaya clauses relate to marine matters, and exclusion clauses in bills of lading for the benefit of stevedores in particular.

Q. 88 When will Towage become Salvage ? 1 ) A criterion for whether a towing vessel has become a salving vessel is have there been supervening circumstances which would justifying her in abandoning her contract?not the tow, but abandoning the contract to tow.
It must be ascertained as to whether the services that were to be rendered eventually by the tug such as to have been beyond the reasonable contemplation of the parties when they originally negotiated the towage contract.
It is beyond doubt that towage and salvage services cannot be performed concurrently. One must finish before the other starts.
Definite guidelines have been established in the courts(1928 The Homewood case) to determine where the towage stops and salvage starts. For the tug owner to consider rightly that he had taken on the role of salvor it is essential that:
a)the services he performed were of such an extraordinary nature that they could not have been with in the reasonable contemplation of the parties to the original towage contract
b)the services in fact performed and the risks in fact would not have been reasonably remunerated if the contractual remuneration only was paid.
In short , mere difficulty in the performance of the towage does not automatically convert the towage into salvage. The burden of proof is heavy and lies upon the tug owner claiming the salvage reward. He must show that the nature of the service changed from towage to salvage through no fault or want of skill on his part and simply and solely by accident or fortuitous circumstances over which he had no control.

times
has
asked
1 ) Broaching:- when a steep following sea causes the vessel to surf forwards controllably, the bow tends to dig into the wave ahead, decelerating the vessel rapidly. The forces on the stern will cause the stern to swing violently to the left or right and the vessel will come to rest broadside to the waves. A rapid broaching may cause a capsize.

Q. 97 What is IMB? Who funds IMB ? Is IMB member of IMO ? 1 ) International Maritime Bureau (IMB) is a specialised division of the International Chamber Of Commerce (ICC). The IMB is a non-profit making organisation, established in 1981 to act as a focal point in the fight against all types of maritime crime and malpractice.
IMBs main task is to protect the integrity of international trade by seeking out fraud and malpractice. For over 25 years, it has used industry knowledge, experience and access to a large number of well-placed contacts around the world to do this: identifying and investigating frauds, spotting new criminal methods and trends, and highlighting other threats to trade.
The information gathered from sources and during investigations is provided to members in the form of timely advice via a number of different communication routes. It lists the threats and explains how members can reduce their vulnerability to them. Over the years, this approach has thwarted many attempted frauds and saved the shipping and trading industry many millions of dollars.
The IMB provides an authentication service for trade finance documentation. It also investigates and reports on a number of other topics, notably documentary credit fraud, charter party fraud, cargo theft, ship deviation and ship finance fraud.
As well as helping to prevent crime, the IMB also has a duty to educate both the shipping community and a wider audience that comprises just about every entity engaged in trade. To this end, the IMB runs a regular series of courses and training programmes that have a wide-ranging syllabus and many proven benefits. It also offers bespoke consultancy services in areas such as ship and port security.
One of the IMBs principal areas of expertise is in the suppression of piracy. Concerned at the alarming growth in the phenomenon, this led to the creation of the IMB Piracy Reporting Centre in 1992. The Centre is based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It maintains a round-the-clock watch on the worlds shipping lanes, reporting pirate attacks to local law enforcement and issuing warnings about piracy hotspots to shipping.
Financial support to the Piracy Reporting Centre has been received from from the following companies:

Clause owners

Amended possibility
Jason of US
Clause) lawsuits.
- Under US common law, a shipowner cannot claim General Average contributions from cargo where there has been faulty navigation or management of the ship. The owners will therefore seek to exonerate himself from liability for loss from these causes. However, the Harter Act 1893 made it illegal to insert any clause in a bill of lading exonerating the ship from liability for loss caused through negligence, improper stowage, etc. Even so, a clause was commonly inserted in bills of lading giving owners the right to claim General Average contributions from cargo. - Validity of the clause was tested in a 1904 court case concerning the s.s. Jason, and in 1911 after lengthy litigation, the clauses validity was upheld by the court.
- It has since been extended to include salvage, and is now called the New (or Amended) Jason Clause and commonly inserted in bills of lading and charter parties.

Q. 44 When will Towage become Salvage ? 1 ) A criterion for whether a towing vessel has become a salving vessel is have there been supervening circumstances which would justifying her in abandoning her contract?not the tow, but abandoning the contract to tow.
It must be ascertained as to whether the services that were to be rendered eventually by the tug such as to have been beyond the reasonable contemplation of the parties when they originally negotiated the towage contract.
It is beyond doubt that towage and salvage services cannot be performed concurrently. One must finish before the other starts.
Definite guidelines have been established in the courts(1928 The Homewood case) to determine where the towage stops and salvage starts. For the tug owner to consider rightly that he had taken on the role of salvor it is essential that:
a)the services he performed were of such an extraordinary nature that they could not have been

the
reasonable
contemplation
of
the
parties
to
the
original
towage
contract
b)the services in fact performed and the risks in fact would not have been reasonably remunerated if the contractual remuneration only was paid.
In short , mere difficulty in the performance of the towage does not automatically convert the towage into salvage. The burden of proof is heavy and lies upon the tug owner claiming the salvage reward. He must show that the nature of the service changed from towage to salvage through no fault or want of skill on his part and simply and solely by accident or fortuitous circumstances over which he had no control.

1 Q. 45 Pooping ?
times

asked
1 ) Pooping is the term used to describe the seas breaking over the stern of the vessel. This can also be dangerous particularly for an open decked vessel. Large amounts of water can quickly flood the vessel, causing additional problems.

1 Q. 46 Broaching ?
times
has
asked
1 ) Broaching:- when a steep following sea causes the vessel to surf forwards controllably, the bow tends to dig into the wave ahead, decelerating the vessel rapidly. The forces on the stern will cause the stern to swing violently to the left or right and the vessel will come to rest broadside to the waves. A rapid broaching may cause a capsize.

Q. 67 Does a state contribute in Fund ? How is it decided how much to contribute ? 1 ) The 1992 Fund is financed by contributions levied on any person who has received in one calendar year more than 150 000 tonnes of crude oil and heavy fuel oil (contributing oil) in a State Party to the 1992 Fund Convention.
The levy of contributions is based on reports of oil receipts in respect of individual contributors. Member States are required to communicate every year to the 1992 Fund the name and address of any person in that State who is liable to contribute, as well as the quantity of contributing oil received by any such person. This applies whether the receiver of oil is a Government authority, a State-owned company or a private company. Only persons having received more than 150 000 tonnes of contributing oil in the relevant year should be reported.
The Fund Secretariat estimates the amount required for the following year for compensation payments and administrative costs. The decision on the total amount required is taken by the Assembly. This amount is divided by the total quantity of contributing oil received in the Member States. This gives an amount per tonne of oil received. The quantity of oil received by each contributor is multiplied by the amount per tonne to get the amount in pounds sterling which has to be paid by that contributor.

This is usually expressed in a Cesser Clause stating that "...charterer's liability will cease on shipment of cargo and payment of freight, deadfreight and demurrage", i.e. sums incurred at the loading port.
The shipowner, however, will not want to find himself without a remedy for any breach of contract or damage done to his vessel after the charterer's liability has ceased, and will want legal recourse against another party, who will usually be the receiver of the goods.

Q. 93 Master and crew abandons a vessel and Later some crew went and saves the ship. Can those crew ask for Salvage award ? What if master still onboard ? 1 ) When a crew properly abandons their vessel (on the orders of the master and without hope or expectation of returning to her), the crew are no longer employed under the Crew Agreement and the vessel becomes a "derelict". If the (former) crew members subsequently manage to reboard and save the vessel, they do so as volunteers and may have a valid claim to a salvage reward.
