I. Read the text.

ТEXT.
Environmental protection is the main problem facing humanity nowa-
days. The image of a sick planet has become firmly established in the public
mind. Today ecological problems have become the most important for all the
people of our planet.
The problems of environment include a wide range of burning issues:
water, land, air pollution, radioactivity, noise disturbance, destruction of wild-
life, etc. Pollution causes much damage to the environment.
The oil pollution in the sea is being increasingly recognized as a serious
threat to the environment. Port spillages are generally caused by negligence.
That is why antipollution regulations are very strict in all the ports of the
world. The captains of vessels should follow the antipollution regulations
properly. Heavy fines are imposed on offenders.
The Master has authority and responsibility for the overall safety of the
vessel and crew and for environmental protection matters. Such authority
and responsibility includes, but is not limited to:
6
 Ensuring that safety and pollution prevention requirements, as de-
fined in the major conventions (SOLAS, MARPOL, etc.) and in the
Seabon Management System (SMS) are communicated to the ship's
officers and crew and satisfied.
 Implementing a program of drills and tests to prepare for emergency
actions.
 Ensuring that all safety equipment and lifesaving appliances are
available, complete and in good apparent working order.
 Reporting of all accidents, dangerous occurrences and pollution inci-
dents in accordance with Company's requirements and statutory reg-
ulations.
 Ensuring that regulations regarding garbage disposal are followed.
 Organizing Safety Committee meetings.
It must be understood that the importance of pollution prevention and

environmental protection cannot be overemphasized.
Environmental protection and pollution prevention shall be considered
as top priority matters by all crew. All seamen must be aware of the signifi-
cance of environment protection and the importance of bunkering opera-
tions. Everyone should be aware that the consequences of a pollution inci-
dent during bunkering are becoming increasingly unpredictable Such is the
importance of pollution prevention, that any spill, no matter how small, may
result in penalties and costs far outweighing the apparent gravity of the
event, reinforcing the need for every ship owner to eliminate risks.

V. Read this following Master’s claims. Express your opinion on the

subject. Translate them into Russian.
I
Dear Sirs,
In reply to your accusation of water pollution we should like to state that
our ship is in no way responsible for the above.
The pollution has been probably caused recently by the discharge of bal-
last into the sea by some vessels.
As you may well note the whole of the coast is at present fouled by nod-
ules of oil which can be seen both on the north coast of the cape Verde Pen-
insula and the beaches south of Dakar, Yenne, Pcnenguim, as far as the
entrance to the Casa-Manu.
Yours faithfully,
Master.
8
II
Dear Sirs,
This is to bring to your notice that the pollution was caused by the lack of
care in refuelling operations on the part of your personnel and because of
the defective underground pipelines in the pier.
In connection with the above we flatly reject your claim made against our
ship for alleged water pollution.
Yours faithfully,
Master.

Dear Sirs,
th
On the 10 of July, 1999 my ship the m/v "Victory" 10,500 gross tons
under Norwegian flag was involved in a collision with a Greek vessel 20,700
gross tons, off the Island of Goree.
About 600 tons of oil escaped into the sea. The national fleet kept a con-
stant watch on the slick. 13 tons of solvent was used for dispersal of the oil.
A port tug had to be equipped with means for dispersal of the oil.
The Port Authorities demand about 15,000 dollars to cover the clean-up
operation. As the Greek vessel is fully responsible for the collision her own-
ers are to pay the above expenses.
Yours faithfully,
Master.
VI. Answer the following questions.

I. Read the text.

ТEXT.
It is equally true that cargo pilferage in foreign ports has increased.
In order to protect the ship from the blame and responsibility for pilferage
the greatest attention should be paid by the ship's officers. A great deal of
cargo pilferage occurs on board during the loading and discharging. In such
cases of pilferage the responsibility rests on the ship's officials who should
organize a close-watch in holds whenever some cargo is liable to be
broached, is being stowed, discharged, or is exposed.
Incoming cargo should be scrutinized and every unsound or suspicious
package rejected until its contents have been ascertained. The Stevedoring
Company should take necessary actions to stop further pilferage and also
expedite the discharge of the cargo after the survey of the packages.
Cases of pilferage result in complaints and claims, which could be re-
12
duced if the people concerned showed greater care. It is clear that ad-
vantage will be gained if the local agent is immediately advised of any cir-
cumstances likely to give rise to a complaint or claim. For the sake of good
order the Master should write a letter of complaint or make a claim against
the Stevedoring Company, which should be signed by the agent as well. The
agent should return the attached copy of the letter of complaint or the claim
in acknowledgement of its receipt. Close cooperation between the Master
and the agent ensures that complaints and claims are given prompt attention
as they arise.
It is vital to take strict actions to provide greater cargo security and re-
move the opportunities for theft.

1. What actions should be taken by the ship's officers to protect the
ship from the blame and responsibility for pilferage on board ship?
2. When does a great deal of cargo pilferage occur?
3. Who is responsible for pilferage on board ship?
4. What actions should be done on board ship in cases of cargo pilfer-
ing?
5. What steps should the Stevedoring Company take to stop further pil-
ferage?
6. Who is the Master of the ship immediately to advise in cases of pil-
ferage?
7. What kind of claims should the Master make against the Stevedoring
Company?
8. Who should sign a letter of complaint or claim?
9. What should the agent do with the attached copy of the letter of
complaint or claim?
10. For what purpose should the agent return the attached copy of the
letter of complaint or claim to the Master of the ship?
11. Why is it vital to take strict actions to provide greater cargo security?
III. Ask question using the model.

MODEL:The Master of the ship is to make a claim against the Stevedoring
Company in the port of Cardiff.
— Who is to make a claim against the Stevedoring Company?
1. The Master of the ship is to inform the Stevedore Foreman on duty

about the cargo pilferage on board ship in the port of Hull.
2. The Chief Stevedore is to examine Hold №5.
3. The Master is to hold responsible the Stevedoring Company for the
loss of the cargo.
13
4. The agent is to sign the Master's letter of complaint.
5. The Stevedoring Company is to take strict actions to avoid further
pilferage.

Vl. Read the following claims on pilferage and express your opinion
on the subject.
Master’s Claim
Antwerp, 15th June, 2000.
To Stevedoring Company,
the Port of Antwerp,
14
Belgium.
Dear sirs,
Please note that yesterday afternoon while inspecting hatches three
cases containing tools, stowed in Hold №.4, tween-deck, were found tam-
pered with. On further examination one of the cases was found broken to
pieces with the entire contents missing and the other case damaged with
part of contents missing.
Though cargo was worked at hatch № 4 on the 14th of June from 14.15 hrs.
to 17.30 hrs.on the 15th of June no visible traces of tampering with the said car-
go were noticed at the time of covering up hatches on the 15th of June.
However, a passage to Hold No.4 tween-deck had been possible by
shifting a few chests of coffee to Hold № 3 tween-deck.
The Stevedore foreman on duty was immediately informed about the
case of pilferage on board my ship during discharging and Hold № 4 was
inspected in his presence. The hold was also examined by a senior Customs
officer and a representative from your office was also verbally informed.
Please note that I hold your Stevedores entirely responsible for this
damage and loss of cargo.
Please take necessary action to stop further pilferage and also expedite
the discharge of the cargo at your earliest convenience after survey of the
said pkgs. A strict watch in Hold № 4 is being maintained.
Yours faithfully,
Master of the m/v «Larak»
VI. Answer the following questions:

1. To whom did the Master of the m/v «Larak» send his business letter?
2. What did the Master of the m/v «Larak» inform the Stevedoring
Company about?
3. What happened to the cargo yesterday afternoon?
4. Who was immediately informed about the case of pilferage on board
ship during discharging?
5. Was Hold №4 inspected in his presence?
6. Who else examined Hold №4?
7. Who did the Master of the m/v «Larak» hold responsible for this case
of pilferage, damage and loss of cargo?
VII. Additional text.

SECURITY AND STOWAWAYS
General Awareness
All seafarers should be warned in advance to be on the lookout for stow-
aways and generally unauthorized persons entering the vessel with the in-
15
tention of conducting unlawful acts.
The Master should ensure all additional security precautions are incorpo-
rated into his Standing Orders. Before arrival at the port, notices should be
posted on all accommodation notice boards reminding seafarers to comply
with Standing Orders and reiterating the measures that are to be taken, re-
cording this action in the deck log book. Once berthed, the duty officer
should make an entry in the deck logbook at the end of each watch, confirm-
ing that all precautions were carried out. The pre-sailing stowaway search
and its outcome should be specifically referred to.
It is vital the extra security precautions are well documented in order to
mitigate any penalties should a stowaway subsequently be found on board
despite the additional measures.
Access to the Vessel

The means of boarding the vessel should be restricted to one access on-
ly. If the vessel is idle during the hours of darkness, the accommodation lad-
der should, if possible, raised well above the quay.
Locking of Spaces
All accommodation doors should be kept locked, apart from one. Inter-
nally, accommodation door keys should be left in place to ensure all doors
can still be used as emergency exits. All lockers, storerooms and spaces
accessible from the deck should be locked or padlocked when not in use,
and accesses to holds and hatches similarly secured at the end of the
working day when the duty officer has satisfied himself that these spaces are
clear.
Keys to all locked compartments should be left in the custody of the duty
officer.
On board Security
It is recommended that two men monitor the decks and the gangway at
all times, possibly the duty watchman and the duty officer. If such arrange-
ment places are impossible burden on the ship's crew, serious consideration
should be given to employ local watchmen for the duration of the call, partic-
ularly if the vessel is in a high risk / dangerous port.
One man should be permanently stationed by the gangway, the other
periodically patrolling the decks. Both should carry walkie-talkies to com-
municate with each other.
Stowaways have often climbed up mooring lines. In ports with a high
quay or a large tidal range, it may sometimes be possible for stowaways to
simply step aboard the vessel from the shore almost anywhere along the
16
ship's side. Watchmen should be fully alert at all times.
Stowaways have occasionally posed as stevedores. The. gangway
watchman should therefore endeavour to verify the authorization of each
stevedore or visitor to the vessel. In ports where stevedores carry no such
authorization, a simple head count both boarding and leaving the ship will be
sufficient.
At night the decks should be well lit, and overside lights placed to illumi-
nate the adjacent quay.
Stowaway Search
Shortly before departure, a comprehensive stowaway search should be
carried out, and as many men as can be spared should participate. Checks
should routinely include holds, lifeboats, funnel casing, hawse pipes, the
inspection of padlocks, and thorough examination of all spaces where free
access may have been possible. Torches should be carried to inspect dark
or shadowed areas. It must be remembered that some stowaways are pre-
pared to go to extraordinary lengths to reach their destination.
PIRACY
Preventive Measures
Vessels berthed in high risk ports should endeavour to illuminate both
the decks and the quay with all available lighting, and gangways, accommo-
dation ladders and ramps should be raised or closed at nights. Access
doors, holds and storerooms should naturally be kept locked when not in
use, and decks should be regularly patrolled to demonstrate to observers
that the vessel is alert and vigilant.

ТEXT.
The carrier is responsible for the goods until they are delivered to the
consignee.
If some damage occurs to goods during this time the carrier is to pay
money for this damage. Delay in delivery is also a loss to the consignee's
interests. This loss is to be paid by the carrier too.
18
But there may be cases when the ship owners are not guilty of such
damage or loss.
For example, the damage or loss may result from force majeure, acci-
dents at sea or fire aboard. They may also arise from the arrest of the ship,
from quarantine, from war.
Sometimes, the damage or loss may be caused by actual fault of ship-
pers or consignees.
Take, for instance, such a case when packing is not sufficient, or when
the goods by their nature are not fit for a long transportation by sea.
The goods may also be damaged when they are being loaded or dis-
charged by shippers' or consignees' means.
It is evident that the carrier is not to bear responsibility in such cases,
that if he is not to pay money. There is an international tradition. When the
damage to goods was caused while the ship was saving life or property of
another vessel, the carrier is also discharged from responsibility for such a
damage.

1. Who is responsible for the goods aboard the ship until they are deliv-
ered to the consignee?
2. Who is to pay money for the damage to goods in such a case?
3. By whom is money to be paid for delay in delivery of goods?
4. In what cases are the ship owners not guilty of the damage to goods?
5. Who is responsible for the damage if the packing was insufficient?
6. What party is to bear responsibility for the damage when the goods
were loaded by shipper's means?
7. In what case is the carrier discharged from responsibility for the dam-
age to goods?
III. Ask questions using the model.

MODEL: The carrier is responsible for the goods.

MODEL: The goods were damaged when they were being loaded.
When were the goods damaged?
1. The freight was paid before the cargo had been discharged.
2. The damage to goods was caused during the voyage.
3. The loss of goods was found after they had been delivered.
4. The carrier was discharged from responsibility when the ship was ar-
rested.
5. The cargo was damaged when it was being discharged.
VI. Additional text.

The carrier is responsible for the goods during their carriage.
The carrier is to pay money for any damage to goods which may occur
aboard the vessel.
There may be some cases when tlie ship owners are not guilty of dam-
age or loss.
Damage or loss may result from force majeure, accidents or fire aboard
the ship.
Sometimes the damage may be caused through shippers' or consignees'
fault. The goods may also be damaged while being loaded or discharged by
shippers' or consignees' means.
In such a case the carrier is not to bear responsibility. The carrier is also
discharged from liability when the damage was caused while saving life or
property at sea. It is evident that the party which is guilty of the damage is to
pay money.

VII. Letter protesting against negligent work of stevedores.
Port of Durban
November 14th, 1999.
To Stevedoring Co.,
Tin Can Island,
Nigeria
Dear sirs,
I have to draw your attention to the fact that owing negligent and care-
less handling of cargo by stevedores much damage has been caused to the
bags with sugar.
Due to improper slinging several bags dropped from the slings over
board and were totally lost. Due to dragging slings from under the ship's
holds and on the trucks a number of bags were badly torn. With regret inform
you that notwithstanding to presence of local wathcmen and your formen the
pilferage of cargo is noted.
In the circumstances I have to make an official statement to the effect
that my MV MAGNUS SINCERITY has brought the cargo in good order and
condition and that I shall bear no responsibility for any claims in connection
with above-mentioned damage which was caused to the cargo in the course
of such inefficient discharging.
At the same time I hold the Walawa Stevedoring Company, responsible
for the damage caused and for the all the consequences which may arise
there from, of which I kindly request you to advise the said stevedoring com-
pany and all concerned in according with list of addressees enclosed.
Yours faithfully.
Captain.
Master of the M/V
MAGNUS SINCERITY
VIII. Translate into English the following business letter.

Уважаемые господа!
Мы обращаем Ваше внимание на то, что в результате небрежной
обработки груза стивидорами имеются повреждения груза.
В отличие от правильной практики выгрузки груза из углов трюма,
мешки укладывали на стропы в углах, а затем протаскивали по палубе
до просвета. Многие мешки оказались значительно порванными и
испачканными, их содержимое рассыпанным. Более того, брезент на
причале оказался грязным и пыльным. В связи с вышеуказанным мы
вынуждены отнести все убытки за Ваш счет.
Капитан.

IX. Say it in English:
В ряде случаев перевозчик освобождается от ответственности.
Например, когда повреждение груза произошло во время спасения
другого судна. Если груз был поврежден, когда он разгружался
средствами грузоотправителя. Если упаковка этого груза была
недостаточной. Или груз был не пригоден для долгой транспортировки.
Также если потеря груза произошла по вине грузополучателей.
Иногда груз может быть поврежден вследствие пожара на борту
судна. Военные действия также могут послужить причиной
повреждения груза.
Перевозчик отвечает за грузы до тех пор, пока они не сданы
грузополучателю. Если ущерб или потеря груза произойдут во время
перевозки, перевозчик должен оплатить убытки.

ТEXT.
Charter Party is an official document. It is an agreement between Ship-
owners and Charterers on the carriage of goods. All the conditions of recep-
tion, carriage and delivery of goods are included in this document. It begins
with the names of the two contracting parties and their legal addresses.
Then it states which ship and when is to arrive at an agreed port to take the
cargo. The description of the cargo and its quantity as well as the port of
destination and the consignees’ name are also stated on the front page of
the Charter. Then the rate and amount of freight are stated and the condi-
tions on which the cargo is to be carried and delivered to the consignee.
These conditions usually also refer to the fact which of the parties is to carry
23
out-loading or discharging the cargo and who is to pay money for this opera-
tion. Then follow the conditions defining the responsibility of all the parties, of
the charterers, carrier and consignees. The main principle of this responsibil-
ity is that the guilty party is to pay for damage or loss sustained by the ship
or cargo. For example the carrier is responsible for the damage, caused dur-
ing the voyage through his fault. But if the damage resulted from insufficient
packing or negligent stowage the shipper is to pay for it.

VIII. Additional text.

A Charter Party is an agreement between the shipowners and charter-
ers. Under this agreement the shipowners undertake to provide a vessel for
the carriage of goods. The charterers, on the other hand, undertake to sup-
ply the cargo and to pay freight. All the details about port of loading, time of
loading, the description and quantity of the cargo, as well as the rate and
amount of freight, are stipulated in this Charter Party. All other conditions as
to reception, carriage and delivery of the cargo are also stated in this docu-
25
ment. As a rule, the cargo is taken aboard on shippers paying full or partial
freight.
IX. Say this in English:

Чартер-партия — это соглашение между судовладельцами и
фрахтователями. Это соглашение о перевозке груза. По этому
документу судовладельцы обязуются предоставить судно, а
фрахтователи обязуются предоставить груз и оплатить фрахт.
В чартер-партии указываются все условия приема, перевозки и
сдачи груза. В чартере указывается название судна, порт погрузки,
количество и наименование груза, а также ставка фрахта и общая
сумма фрахта. В этом же официальном документе оговаривается, кто
должен производить погрузку и выгрузку груза и кто должен оплачивать
эту работу. Чартер-партия предусматривает также ответственность
сторон за сохранность груза.
X. Translate into Russian.

A vessel may be chartered for carrying goods at a single voyage, be-
tween two or more ports, or for several voyages between such ports. These
forms of Charter Parties are called Voyage Charters to distinguish them from
Time Charters.
Time Charter
The Time Charter Party shows the terms and conditions under which a
shipowner lets his vessel for hire.
Voyage Charter
Under the Voyage Charter Party the shipowner is paid freight for carry-
ing cargo from one port to another.
All Charter Parties have clauses which are more or less common, and
these are as follows:
1. Name of steamer.
2. Size and position.
3. Loading and discharging ports.
4. Quantity and kind of cargo.
5. Rate of freight and method of payment.
6. Lay days for loading and discharging.
7. Demurrage.
8. Cancelling date.
9. General average clause.
26
The Clause relating to the Steamer usually slates that the ship is fight,
staunch and in every way filled for the voyage, i. e. it warrants the seawor-
thiness of the ship and her fitness for the voyage and for the cargo to be
carried.
The destination of the steamer is given in the Charter Parly either by
naming a direct port to which the steamer must proceed to discharge her
cargo, or the destination of the steamer remains open, i. e. not given at the
time when the vessel is chartered, but will be stated at a later date usually
when loading is completed.
In the Cargo Clause the name of the goods to be transported is indicat-
ed. Sometimes the goods are enumerated in details, but usually, the com-
mon name of goods is given as grain for instance, which includes a large
variety of goods.
In the Freight Clause the method of payment of freight is stated clearly.
Freight is usually paid per ton delivered, it means that the freight is paid con-
currently with the discharge of the cargo. A common stipulation is that the
freight is to be paid on right and true delivery of the cargo, but the custom is
to pay sums during discharge.
The term Lay Days means the time allowed by the Charter Party for
loading and/or discharging of the cargo. There are many methods of stipula-
tion the lay days of the vessel. The most frequently used method is to indi-
cate a definite number of working days or weather-working days.
Charter Parties always stipulate for the notice of the readiness of the
vessel to load or to discharge. The notice must be given during business
hours in the port. When the vessel is delayed beyond the time stipulated in
the Charter Party, the charterers must pay the owners demurrage. On the
other hand, if loading or discharging operations are completed before the
time, the Charter Party provides for the payment of dispatch money. Dis-
patch money and demurrage are calculated in accordance with the terms
agreed upon in the Charter Party, and may differ according to the nature of
the cargo shipped, the size of the vessel, and the form of the Charter Party
used.
Cancelling Clause means that the owners and charterers have the op-
tion of cancelling the Charter Party in the event of war.
In the General Average Clause it is usually stated that General Average
shall be settled according to York-Antwerp Rules, 1924.
When the terms and conditions of a Charter Party are agreed, the Char-
ter Party is signed by both parties — the shipowner and charterers.

1. In connection with clause......of the charter-party dated .............. the
condition of the cargo must be determined prior to the cargo being
handled by the stevedores. For this purpose please appoint and
name your supervisors who can inspect jointly and constantly the
condition of the cargo in the vessel's holds prior to same being han-
dled by the stevedores. The vessel does not accept liability for any
damaged cargo whatsoever, except when such cargo is found dam-
aged by your inspectors and my officers during joint inspection prior
to handling by the stevedores and acceptance of this fact is given by
my officers in writing and confirmed by my signature and vessel's
seal,
2. The tally of the cargo must be effected in the vessel's holds where
remarks for the condition of the cargo must be inserted and admitted
in writing by the vessel's officers in the holds, prior to stevedores
handling and confirmed by my signature and vessel's officers in the
holds, prior to stevedores handling and confirmed by my signature
and vessel's seal. Stevedores damage to be tallied separately and
such reports must carry the clear distinction «DAMAGE BY STEVE-
DORES». Any tally reports issued on the pier or in the shed pre-
sented to the vessel for signature must carry the insertion «THIS
REPORT FOR TALLY EFFECTED ASHORE AFTER CARGO WAS
HANDLED BY STEVEDORES» Such tally reports if carrying these
remarks will be signed by the vessel «without prejudice to Owners'
rights — Owners are not responsible for handling of cargo by steve-
dores»
3. If the tally of a cargo parcel, being effected as per item (2), results in
«shortage» this fact is to be immediately brought to the notice of the
Chief Officer and the possibility of a retally to be promptly investigat-
31
ed and re-tally to be carried out immediately. Moreover, a search in
the vessel’s compartments to be carried out jointly and if missing
cargo is not found a certificate verifying the search and the results to
be issued. Furthermore, a corresponding shed tally to be investigat-
ed to cross examine the tally shortage on board and results of same

4. Stevedores are not allowed to remove from the vessel without prop-
er tally, empty bags/cases etc., found in the holds. In case of inci-
dents where pilfering is comprehended as done by employees of the
Stevedores. I shall call the Police immediately and hereby notify all
parts concerned that I will apply to the Timecharterers declare in
writing that they relieve the vessel of any responsibility on account of
pilferage done by the Stevedores’ employees.
5. In the event of rain, discharging is to be immediately stopped, allow-
ing reasonable time for the crew to close the hatches and thus pro-
tect the cargo from damage, and the stevedores are requested to
cooperate in this connection.
6. The vessel will not accept and will not sign tally or other relevant re-
ports, unless same are presented on the same date and time the
operation took place and provided same were issued in compliance
with the proceeding.
7. The stevedores' work on board must comply with the written instruc-
tions of the Chief Officer in connection with safe working on board.
The vessel is hereby relieved of any responsibility for any Steve-
dores’ employee failing to comply with same.

the holds of the vessel and a certificate to be issued by you that no
cargo destined to be delivered in your port was found remaining on
board.
9. The vessel is bound only by my signature accompanied by the ves-
sel's seal. Any other signature is not authorised and is not binding
the vessel or Owners whatsoever.
10. Your failure to comply strictly with my aforementioned requirements
which are derived from the provisions of the charter party dat-
ed…….will constitute a breach of the terms and conditions of the
charter-party by the employees of the Charters and in every such in-
stance I will have to hold you responsible on behalf of the Owners
for any consequences and loss or damage incurred to Owners.

When goods are shipped, the Master of the ship signs a Bill of Lading,
which is a receipt acknowledging the shipment of goods.
The Bill of Lading is not only a receipt for the goods shipped, but also a
document of title which means that the holder of the Bill of Lading has the
right to the property of goods. When goods are shipped in a ship sailing be-
tween definite ports no Charter Party is concluded, and the carriage of goods
is undertaken according to the terms and conditions usually printed either on
the face, or the back of the Bill of Lading. Most of our imports are carried
according to terms expressed in the Bill of Lading.

riage of the aforesaid goods shall cease.
The goods to be delivered at the port of London or as near there as the
ship may safely get to, always afloat to the consignee Messrs. Anning
Chadwick & Co., London or to his or their assigns, on payment of freight as
per margin of this Bill of Lading and all other charges due under this contract
of carriage.
Nothing in this Bill of Lading, whether printed or written or stamped, shall
limit or affect the above mentioned conditions. If the freight and all charges in
connection with the contract of carriage payable on or before delivery of
goods have not been paid, the carrier, on delivery of the goods to ware-
house (warehouseman), or into lighters (lighterman), or other custodian en-
trusted to hold the goods for their owner, shall be entitled to stipulate that the
said custodian shall not part with the possession thereof until payment has
been made of full freight and any other charges due under this contract of

damages and expenses, arising or resulting from inaccuracy, inexact-
itude and insufficiency in such particulars, as furnished by the ship-
per.
5. The carrier shall be at liberty at the place of loading or discharging as
well as during the voyage to ascertain whether the contents of the
goods correspond with their description. If the description of the
goods, whether packed or unpacked, as shown on this Bill of Lading
proves to be incorrectly stated, the owner of the goods is bound to
pay the carrier double difference between the full freight on the cor-
rect description of the goods for the whole voyage with additional
charges, and the amount calculated under the incorrect statements of
the shipper.
1. If the number of animals loaded on board by shipper's means proves
to be incorrectly stated, the owner of the goods shall pay the carrier
triple freight on the quantity exceeding as well as all additional charg-
es and fees.
2. The carrier shall be entitled to check in the port of destination the
weight as declared by the shipper and if a surplus is found, double
freight shall be paid for it.
3. The shipper is liable to the carrier for any loss or damage to the ship
or cargo and/or all other expenses, caused by the wrong description
or denomination of goods, and all costs and expenses of weighing

6. Not later than 24 hours before the beginning of loading the goods as
denominated in the Bill of Lading the shipper must hand over to the
37
carrier at the place of shipment all documents required by the har-
bour, custom, sanitary, excise and any other rules.
4. The carrier is not under duty to verify the accuracy and the sufficiency
of these documents and shall be discharged from all liability for any
loss of or damage to such goods resulting from inaccuracy, or insuffi-
ciency, or delay of delivery of these documents.
7. Freight and other charges due under the contract of carriage shall be
payable to the carrier at the place of shipment. Freight and all addi-
tional charges fully or partly unpaid at the time of shipment to be col-
lected from the receivers of goods.

possible damage to carrier's interests at the place of destination be
apprehended, freight and any other charges to be altogether fully
paid at the place of shipment, particularly:
a) if the goods delivered for shipment are subject to rapid deterio-
ration;
b) if, owing to the small value of goods, they cannot cover the
freight and all charges in connection with carriage of same;

ance with Paragraph 2 of these rules, there may occur loss,
evaporation, scattering, breakage or leakage of goods or part
thereof, or depreciation of same;
d) for carriage of animals;
e) for goods carried on deck;
f) for goods consigned to ports where there are no agencies of
the carrier.
8. Carrier's liability for delivery of goods carried cash on delivery (с. о.
d.) without previously collecting the amount forwarded cannot exceed
the same.
9. On the issue by the carrier, his agent, or master of the ship of the bill
of lading the right of disposing of goods (readdressing) belongs to the
shipper or to the receiver of goods, or to any holder in due course of
the bill of lading, provided he produces all issued copies of the bill of
lading or sufficient bail.
The person entitled to dispose of the goods may demand the re-
delivery of same at the place of shipment before ship's departure, or
the delivery of goods at some intermediate port or the delivery of
goods to a person other than the one stated in the bill of lading. The
said demand shall be expressed in writing to the carrier's agency at
the port of loading. If, however, such orders cannot be executed, the
carrier is exempt from responsibility but reserves the right to collect
the full amount of freight as originally agreed. The owner of goods
38
must also pay the difference of freight if the same exceeds the freight
stipulated for shipment to original port of destination and reimburse to
the carrier all expenses resulting from readdressing of goods.
10. If, in the event of blockade, restraint of authorities, acts of war, ice
and any other causes beyond carrier's control, the goods cannot be
discharged at the port of destination without risk to ship and cargo,
the carrier is entitled to land the goods at one of the nearest ports of
call, where possible, at shipper's risk and expense, and to inform the
shipper thereof.
If the shipper desires to land the carried goods at original port of
destination he has to apply thereof in writing to the carrier's agency at
the port of loading. Should the carrier be able to comply with this re-
quest, the goods shall be forwarded to original port of destination un-
der a new bill of lading on a ship belonging either to the carrier or to
another owner. All payments and freight unpaid under the old bill of
lading, as well as all expenses incurred by the carrier, to be inserted
in the new bill of lading beyond the freight and charges due on ac-
count of such new carriage.
If, in a port of forced discharging, goods are stored at the carrier's
warehouses, no charge is to be made for the first three storage days.
In case of forwarding the goods under a new bill of lading to original
port of destination, no charges shall be collected for the first five days
of storage at the carrier's warehouses. The storage for the period of
over five days is to be included in the new bill of lading.
If, in the port of forced discharging, there are no carrier's ware-
houses, or if these warehouses cannot be used for the said purpose,
the goods shall be delivered by the carrier for storage to local ware-
houses or to any other places in accordance with the customs of the
port and at the current rates.
11. Any deviation of the ship from the contract voyage for the purpose
of saving or attempting to save life or property at sea, or any other
reasonable deviation, as well as calling at ports in any order shall not
be deemed to be an infringement or breach of the contract of car-
riage, and the carrier shall not be liable for any loss or damage result-
ing therefrom.
12. The goods shall be loaded and discharged as fast as the ship can
take or deliver them, on or from the ship's tackles or any auxiliary
craft, without interruption by day and night, Sundays and holidays not
excepted, and the owner of goods shall be liable to the carrier for all
loss or damage incurred in default thereof.
Should the goods not be received by their owner in accordance
with this clause or if he fails to appear to take delivery of the goods
immediately on the ship's arrival, the master or carrier's agent shall
39
be at liberty to put the goods into craft and/or land the same on the
quay at the expense and risk of the owner of goods, as the master or
carrier's agent may think fit.
13. The carrier shall have a lien upon the goods for and until the pay-
ment of freight and all other charges and expenses due under the
contract of carriage and in relation to the handling of the goods during
the voyage as well as, if the case may be, customs duties and taxes
of any kind whatsoever.
14. If within two months after the ship's arrival at the port of destination
the goods have not been claimed and/or their owner has not covered
all amounts as aforesaid in Paragraph 13, the carrier shall be at liber-
ty to sell the goods by public auction whereof the shipper shall be no-
tified in writing.
Unclaimed goods subject to deterioration may be sold before the
expiration of two months. The proceeds shall be used for covering the
total charges, costs and expenses due to the carrier on custody, stor-
age and sale of unclaimed goods, and if the proceeds fail to cover all
sums due to the carrier in respect of said goods, the carrier shall be
entitled to recover the difference from the owner of goods.
15. Unless notice of loss or damage or delay in delivery of goods be
given the carrier before or at the time of the removal of the goods,
such removal shall be prima facie evidence of the delivery by the car-
rier of the goods in accordance with all terms and conditions of the bill
of lading.
If partial loss or damage be not apparent by customary delivery of
goods the notice may be given to the carrier by the receiver of goods
within three days after their receipt.
In the aforesaid cases the notice must be given in writing.
16. If wrong tariffs or rates of freight are applied or in the event of errors
in calculating freight or other charges, the arrears must be paid to the
carrier and overcharges must be returned by the carrier. The carrier
is entitled to recover the arrears from the overcharges and any other
amount due by him to the owner of goods.
17. The carrier shall be bound, before and at the beginning of the voy-
age, to make the ship seaworthy, properly man, equip, and supply the
ship and the holds, refrigerating and cool chambers fit and safe for
reception, preservation and carriage of cargo.
Subject to the provisions of this paragraph the carrier shall be dis-
charged from liability for latent defects not discoverable by due dili-
gence.
18. The carrier shall be responsible for the loss of or damage to the
goods as well as for delay in delivery of the same, unless loss or
40
damage or delay has arisen or resulted from causes which could not
have been avoided by carrier's due diligence, particularly from:
a) force majeure;
b) perils, dangers and accidents at the sea or other navigable
waters;
c) fire, effects of temperature, air, humidity;
d) acts and orders of authorities (arrest or restraint, quarantine,
etc.);
e) acts of war and people's commotions;
f) act or omission of the shipper or receiver of the goods, in
particular when the goods have been loaded by shipper's
means and/or discharged by receiver's means
g) nature of goods (inherent vice or normal wastage) and latent
defects of same
h) defects of packing not discoverable from outside or when the
goods have been delivered for shipment without any packing

ing, or if, in the case of sound packages, a shortage and/or
non-correspondence of contents with their description as in
the bill of lading has been found;
i) insufficiency or indistinctness of marks;
j) disease or death of carried animals;
k) act or omission of the master, crew and pilot in the naviga-
tion or in the management of the ship, except, however, act
or omission in relation to the reception, loading, stowage,
custody, care, discharge and delivery of goods;
l) saving or attempting to save life, ship or goods.
m) Any clause or agreement in regard to the liability for the time
from the moment of loading of goods and until the goods are
discharged, contradictory to the rules of this article, shall be
null and void and of no effect.

aged package or unit shall be estimated in accordance with their val-
ue at the port of ship's destination on the day when the latter has ar-
rived or must have arrived, but cannot exceed ... rubles, unless the
value of such goods has been declared by the shipper and inserted in
the bill of lading.

by the shipper.

ing to other owners or to forward them by other means of transport,

ТEXT.
Full freight is usually paid on delivery of cargo. However, in many cases
part of the freight is paid in the port of loading.
Charter-Party provides for the rate of loading the ship, that is, it stipu-
lates how many tons of cargo should be loaded during a working day.
Knowing the rate of loading one can easily calculate how many days will
be required for loading. This period of time is called lay days. If loading is
not completed during lay days the ship is considered to be on demur-
rage.
The charterers in this case are to pay to shipowners money for delay in
loading. If loading is completed earlier than it was planned by lay time, the
shipowners will pay dispatch money to the Charterers. This dispatch is paid
at half demurrage rate.
The same considerations apply to discharging the cargo. If the cargo
was discharged ahead of the laytime, the carrier will pay to charterers dis-
patch money. If later, than planned by laytime, the charterers are to pay to
the carrier for demurrage.
There may be cases, when damage to or loss of goods or delay in deliv-
ery results from causes beyond the carrier's or charterers' control, for exam-
ple, owing to strike, war or ice conditions. In such case the loss is compen-
sated by the Insurance Company.
The shipowners have a lien upon the cargo. This means that they
may detain the cargo until the freight and other charges are paid by
Charterers.
Any dispute arising under Charter Party shall be referred to arbitration.

1. When full freight is usually paid?
2. May freight be paid sometimes in the port of loading?
3. What is meant by the term ―rate of loading or discharging‖?
4. What can this rate help to calculate?
5. What do we call lay days or laytime?
6. In what case is the ship considered to be on demurrage?
7. Who shall pay money for delay in loading?
8. To whom is this money paid?
9. In what case should dispatch money be paid and to whom?
10. At what rate is dispatch money usually paid?
11. Is demurrage or dispatch paid for discharging the cargo?
12. If the cargo was discharged ahead of lay time who should pay dis-
patch money and to whom?
13. If the cargo was discharged after planned laytime who should pay

14. Who is to compensate for losses sustained by ship or cargo owing to
war, strike or ice conditions?
15. In what case may the carrier detain the cargo?
16. To whom are the disputes under charter party referred to?

MODEL: We shall start loading as soon as the cargo has been brought
alongside.
When will you start loading?
1. We shall deliver you the cargo as soon as you have paid the freight.
2. The captain will sign Bills of Lading as soon as the cargo has been
taken aboard.
3. We shall resume loading as soon as the strike has been over.
4. The ship will proceed to another port as soon as loading has been
completed.
IV. Ask questions using the model:

MODEL: The captain asked for cash money to pay expenses.
What did the captain ask money for?
1. We used a shore crane to discharge extra-weights.

2. They commenced work at 6 a. m. to complete loading earlier.
3. The dockers brought the barge alongside to start discharging.
4. The ship shifted to another berth to get fresh water.
5. He sent a radiogram to inform about that delay.
62
MODEL: They loaded the cargo at the rate of 2000 tons a day.
At what rate did they load the cargo?
1. The ship discharged her cargo at the rate of 2500 tons a day.
2. Tidal streams run there at the rate of 3 knots.
3. The freight was paid at the current rate of exchange.
4. They calculated freight at the rate of 25 pence per ton.

Charter Party provides for the time of loading and discharging. This time
is called laydays or layhours (for tankers) or, in general, laytime. The laytime
is calculated on the basis of average rate of loading and discharging. This
rate means how many tons of cargo can be loaded or discharged by the ship
every working day.
If actual loading is completed later than it was planned by the laytime,
the ship is said to be on demurrage.
In this case the charterers shall pay to shipowners for delay in loading.
If, on the contrary, actual loading takes less time than it was planned, the
carrier shall pay to Charters dispatch money.
Usually dispatch money is paid at half demurrage rate.

Как правило, фрахт должен оплачиваться по сдаче груза. Очень
часто, однако, часть фрахта оплачивается в порту погрузки. В чартер-
партии предусматривается норма погрузки и выгрузки. Эта норма
погрузки показывает, сколько тонн груза судно должно погрузить за
один рабочий день. На основании этой нормы погрузки рассчитывается
так называемое сталийное время. Если фактическая погрузка
заканчивается раньше планируемого времени, то перевозчик
выплачивает фрахтователям премию за досрочную погрузку. Если
фактическая погрузка заканчивается позже планируемого времени, то
фрахтователи выплачивают судовладельцам деньги за простой судна.
Премиальные деньги обычно оплачиваются в половинном размере от
простойных денег. Все споры, возникающие по чартер-партии,
передаются на разбор в арбитражную комиссию.

ТEXT.
In foreign ports the ship's administration has to contact many official or-
ganizations and persons in order to secure normal work of the ship.
Apart from numerous business talks, the ship's officers often have to ex-
change official letters with shore organizations, especially with the ship's
agent.
First of all, in accordance with Charter Party terms, the ship is to send
notices of readiness to load or discharge the cargo. This should be done
immediately on arrival at the port. Usually a notice of readiness contains the
following information: the name of the ship, time of arrival, the number of
berth at which the ship is moored, description and quantity of cargo, time of
the beginning and expiring of laydays.
As a rule, notices of readiness are sent to shippers or consignees
through the ship’s agents. Notices of readiness are important formal docu-
ments, because the laytime begins to count some hours later from the mo-
ment when the notice has been accepted. As stated in Charter Party, lay
days shall commence at 1 p. m. if notice is accepted before noon. Lay days
will commence at 8 a. m. next working day, if notice is accepted during office
hours after noon.
Official invitation of a surveyor, or of a representative of some repair
shop to come aboard the ship is also written as a formal letter.
Receipts for money or other valuable things received aboard should be
also written in a formal way.
It should be noted, that all the letters which are sent by a ship shall be
signed by the master of that ship.
64
1. Whom does the ship's administration have to contact in a foreign
port?
2. What is the aim of these contacts?
3. Do the officers have only to speak with foreign officials?
4. With whom do they have to exchange official letters most of all?
5. According to what document is the ship to send notices of readi-
ness?
6. When should notices of readiness be sent?
7. What information does a notice of readiness contain?
8. To whom are the notices addressed?
9. Through whom are they usually sent?
10. When will the laytime commence if the notice is accepted before
noon?
11. And when will the laytime commence if the notice is accepted after
noon?
12. In what way should official invitations be sent?
13. To whom may such invitations be sent?
14. In what way should receipts be written?
15. Who shall sign all the official letters sent by a ship?

MODEL: The vessel is (was) to arrive here on Monday.
When is (was) the vessel to arrive here?
1. The notice is to be sent tomorrow.

2. He was to work there last Friday.
3. They were to discharge the cargo yesterday.
4. The cargo was to be received here last week.
5. The notices were to be accepted at 10.00 a. m.

MODEL: We have (had) to make repairs in Naples.
Where do (did) you have to make repairs?
1. We have to anchor in that bay.

2. She had to stay in the hospital.
3. The vessel had to discharge part of the cargo.
4. He has to stay at home.
5. They had to pay freight in France.
MODEL: We are ready to discharge the cargo of Cotton.
What kind of cargo are you going to discharge?
65
1. The ship is ready to discharge Fuel Oil.
2. We are ready to discharge Sugar.
3. They were ready to load Rails.
4. The barge was ready to load Rubber.

In foreign ports we shall have to contact different people. Besides ordi-
nary business talk we shall have to write official letters. Such letters are re-
quired in order to secure normal work of the ship. First of all, when the ship
arrives in the port, the second mate is to prepare notices of readiness. These
notices must be signed by the Master. When the ship's agent comes aboard,
these notices will be handed over to him. His duty is to accept them on be-
half of the consignees or shippers. Later on he is to deliver them to address-
ees.

В иностранных портах нашим морякам приходится вести деловые
разговоры с должностными лицами. Эти разговоры необходимы, чтобы
обеспечить нормальную работу судна. Помимо разговоров, командному
составу судов приходится писать немало официальных писем по
приходу судна в порт. Прежде всего требуется составить и вручить
нотисы о готовности судна к погрузке или выгрузке. Нотисы должны
быть подписаны капитаном. В нотисах указывается, когда судно
прибыло, у какого причала оно ошвартовано, какой груз и в каком
количестве оно готово разгружать или принимать на борт. Агент
принимает эти нотисы и позже вручает их адресатам. Сталийное время
начинает засчитываться после принятия нотисов.

Ships may need bunker, fresh water, technical supplies and provisions
when in foreign port. In a conversation with the agent all the details of buying
these things can be cleared and agreed upon. But when ordering these
goods official letters should be written to avoid any misunderstanding in fu-
ture. In such letters the following details should be stated: correct description
of the goods, exact quantity of them, the time when the goods should be
delivered to the ship. Very often reference is made as to the price at which
the captain wants to buy the goods. In ordering technical supplies due atten-
tion should be paid to exact characteristic and dimensions of the things you
want to buy. For example, when ordering even such ordinary things as
72
brushes you should state whether you require round or flat brushes of 2" or
4" in size.
Official letters should also be sent when you want some person or or-
ganization to do something for your ship. This may be the case, for instance,
when you want your agent to pay some expenses or to do some work for
your ship.
Extra-weights, as a rule, are loaded and discharged by shore or floating
cranes. Due arrangements should be made in this case with shippers or
receivers of the cargo. Formal exchange of letters in this case is important
not only because the work is connected with expenses and safe handling of
the cargo. It is also important because it is connected with effective use of
laytime.
If freight is not paid in time the ship has to detain some cargo, or, as it is
juridically called, "to exercise a lien upon the goods". The Master's actions in
such a case should be accompanied by exchange of official letters.

1. What may ships need in foreign ports?
2. In what way can the details of buying supplies be cleared and
agreed upon.
3. Why should official letters be written when ordering supplies?
4. Who is entitled to sign such letters?
5. What particulars should be stated in these letters?
6. To what particulars should attention be paid when ordering technical
supplies?
7. What should you state when ordering ordinary brushes?
8. In what other cases should you send official letters?
9. Should you write a letter or you can simply tell your agent to pay ex-
penses for your account?
10. By what means are extra-weights usually loaded and discharged?
11. Why is the exchange of official letters important in this case?
12. What else is that exchange of letters connected with?
13. What does the captain have to do if the freight is not paid?
14. By what should his actions be accompanied in such a case?

MODEL: The captain had to stop loading.
Why did he have to stop loading?
1. That ship had to anchor in a small bay.

2. They had to re-pack the goods twice.
3. The consignees had to pay freight.
73
4. We had to continue discharging under demurrage.
5. They had to send that letter again.
IV. Answer the following questions using the model.

MODEL: Did they have to buy provisions in that port?
Yes, they had to. They had no other way out.
1. Did the captain have to agree to that price?

2. Did you have to stay there for a week's time?
3. Did he have to deliver spare parts earlier?
4. Did you have to order victuals, in that port?
5. Did the shippers have to use shore crane?

MODEL: Lay days were to expire on Monday last.
When were the lay days to expire?
1. The shipchandler was to deliver vegetables at 5.00 p. m.

2. The agent was to instruct shipchandlers on Tuesday.
3. He was to arrange discharging extraweights yesterday.
4. The consignees were to receive the cargo at noon.
5. These goods were to be shipped two days ago.

Sometimes ships have to buy technical supplies and provisions in for-
eign ports. They are to arrange this business through ship agents. After pre-
liminary conversation with the agent they have to write official letters. To
order provisions they are to state what kind of victuals and what quantity
they require. As ships stay in foreign ports only for a short time the master
should also state the date when these provisions should be delivered
aboard. When ordering technical supplies exact characteristic of the goods
should be stated. Official letters should also be sent when the master wants
his agent to do something for his ship.

Судам часто приходится покупать провизию и техснабжение в
иностранных портах. Для заказа этих вещей старшему помощнику и
старшему механику приходится писать официальные письма. В
разговоре с агентом они могут договориться о покупке необходимых
для судна вещей. Однако, чтобы избежать каких-либо недоразумений,
после разговора агенту следует направить формальное письмо. Если
74
заказывается техснабжение, в письме должны быть указаны точные
характеристики и размеры требуемого материала. Все просьбы агенту,
связанные с оплатой денег, также следует посылать в виде
официального письма. Действия капитана, связанные с задержанием
грузов, должны сопровождаться соответствующим обменом письмами.

In every case of an evident or suspected damage to cargo during the
voyage, the captain of the ship is to note a Sea Protest within 24 hours of
arrival and before breaking bulk. The Sea Protest is made before a notary
public or the consul, or before other local authorities. On noting the Sea Pro-
test the Master of the ship is to call in a surveyor to hold a survey on hatch-
es. The Master of the ship is also acquaint the receivers of the cargo with
this fact in writing. In this case the receivers may appoint a surveyor if they
wish.
The hatches should be opened and checked in the presence of the sur-
veyor to prove that they had been properly battened down and covered be-
fore the voyage. If the surveyor’s report states that the hatches were proper-
ly covered and secured and the cargo was properly dunnaged and stowed,
the ship is discharged from responsibility for the damage.
At court the sworn testimony of the Master and other witnesses should
be substantiated by the entries in the logbook. For this purpose extracts from
the logbook should be taken and produced. The Harbour Master should
make an official announcement for the information of all concerned about the
Sea Protest declared.

SEA PROTEST
ON THIS SEVENTEENTH DAY of the month of November, in the year
one thousand nine hundred and ninety nine.
BEFORE ME, STENLY WRIGHT, the undersigned Notary for the Prov-

G ... Master Mariner, and Master of the motor vessel called the " …" reg-

Gross Tonnage 15893, Net Tonnage 8092, registered in the port of ……… .,
International Call Letters UUSW, sailed from the port of New York on July
12th, 1999, bound for Philadelphia with 6750 metric tons of general cargo,
the vessel being then tight, staunch and strong, well manned, victualled and
sound, and in all respects fit for the said intended voyage.
On July 14, 1999 approaching Philadelphia, with the pilot, Mr, J. Car, on
board, approximately at 00.15 I received through the pilot instruction from
84
the Port Authorities to proceed for berthing to Pier 18 of Camden Marine
Terminal and to berth starboard side alongside to berth. astern of the m/v
"Grand Canyon".
Approaching the assigned berth, I noticed that the ship moored to Berth
18 astern of which I was supposed to berth my ship was not properly lighted
from the sea side and her stern was completely dark. I called the attention of
the pilot Mr. Car to the fact, and had this fact duly recorded in the ship's deck
Log Book.
The above condition, together with the thick night fog, made it ex~
tremely difficult for us to determine the distance to the other ship's stern with
sufficient accuracy, and at 02.25 GMT, when 2 tugs were putting me into
position at my berth, I lightly contacted the "Grand Canyon's" port quarter
with my starboard bow.
At 02.30 on 14.07 1999 the vessel was safely moored at Pier 18 of
Camden Marine Terminal in the port of Philadelphia.
Though the crew has taken all precautions to safeguard the vessel and
the cargo, fearing losses connected with the incident, I declare this Sea Pro-
test against claims and losses, reserving the right to extend this protest at a
time and place convenient.

Longitude 015-10 West the ship encountered a heavy storm with stern
wind of Force 9-10 from WSW and a heavy swell up to 8 metres. As a
result of this, the vessel suffered heavy pitching and rolling up to 28 to
either side. At 20.00 GMT the vessel had to reduce her speed to 10
knots to reduce the rolling. At 23.00 GMT due to shifting of the cargo of
pipes in Holds 2 and 3 the vessel sustained a permanent list of 10 de-
grees to starboard and had to deviate to the port of refuge Breast. At

TEXT
The majority of accidents including collisions which occur to ships at sea
result from the fact that inexperienced deck officers sometimes violate, dis-
regard or neglect the official statutes for the merchant ships.
The deck officers should always follow the International Regulations for
Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972. To minimize the risk of collisions at sea,
the deck officers should thoroughly study, perfectly understand and obey the
International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972. These
Regulations are universally adopted and must be obeyed by all ships irre-
spective of flag, ownership, size, etc.
When a ship has sustained or caused some material damage or loss of
the cargo as a result of an accident, it is natural for the Master to seek a
guilty party to protect the ship's interests and make this party bear responsi-
bility for the damage. According to laws of many countries a ship or her
owners may be sued for damages due to fault in collision. The responsibility
for the accident at sea or at the port rests with the guilty party. In cases when
the damage is not great and it is quite evident which of the ships is guilty, the
Masters of both vessels usually settle the dispute amicably. But if the dam-
88
age is rather considerable and the circumstances of the collision are not
quite clear, the captains of both vessels should settle the dispute either re-
ferred to arbitration or brought before the court. The court hears the case,
calls in the witnesses, examines and cross-examines them, inquires into the
ship's log books, collects evidence and passes a decision. The Maritime
Arbitration Commission settles disputes with regard to charter parties, con-
tracts of carriage and marine insurance, arbitration agreements for cases of
collisions and salvage contracts.
The knowledge of these Regulations will certainly help the Master to
prove at any court that his actions were quite correct and reasonable. It will
also help the Master to show and prove fault of the guilty party in the colli-
sion. In most cases the action against the opposing party is brought by the
shipowners or by their representatives on behalf of the owners. The Master
is to report at once to his owners of the accident. The captain of a ship is
obliged to bring the suit to court himself.
II. Answer the following questions:

1. What do the majority of accidents including collisions at sea result
from?
2. Why do accidents sometimes occur to ships at sea?
3. What Regulations should the deck officers know and obey?
4. What should they perfectly understand and obey?
5. What ships should obey the International Regulations for Prevent-
ing Collisions at Sea, 1972?
6. What responsibility does the Master of a ship make the guilty party
bear?
7. How do the Masters of both vessels usually settle the dispute when
the damage is insignificant?
8. What should they do when the damage to the ship is rather con-
siderable and one of the ships sustained some material damage?
9. What Commission settles disputes of the Masters of ships?
10. What is the usual court procedure?
11. What may the knowledge of the International Regulations for Pre-
venting Collisions at Sea, 1972 help the Master of a ship to prove at
any court?
12. Who is the captain of a ship to report to of the accident at once?
13. Who is obliged to bring the suit to court?
III. Change the following sentences from Direct into Idirect Speech
using the model:
Model: The Master of the Greek dry-cargo vessel "Sea Star" said to
us, "Will you pay for the damage of the cargo?"
The Master of the Greek dry-cargo vessel "Sea Star" asked

veyor to examine Hold No.1?"
3. The surveyor said to us, "Will you discharge your ship at berth No21
or No.25?
4. The Harbour Master said to the captain of a ship, ―Will you bring the
suit to court‖?
5. The agent said to the Masters of bulkers, "Will you settle the dispute
amicably or at court‖?
6. The arbitrator said to us, ―Will you prove that your actions are quite
correct and reasonable?"
7. The judge said to the captain of a passenger ship. "Will you invite
your witnesses at court next week?"
IV. Use the following word-combinations in the sentences of your

TOKYO. 17TH MAY. 2000
TO THE MASTER OF THE TANKER "SEA WAYS"

PORT OF TOKYO,

JAPAN
Dear sirs,
Re: Collision of the m/v "Sea Ways" and the m/v "Sea Bird".
We hereby advise you that your tanker "Sea Ways" collided with our m/v
"Sea Bird" at 16.15 hrs. 17th May. 2000, in the passage of Uraga in the bay
of Tokyo.
In consequence thereof, our ship sustained considerable damage, details
of which are not ascertained at this stage.
The above collision took place solely due to neglect and fault on the part
of your ship. We therefore hold you responsible for the damage to our ship
and all the consequences arising from the above collision.
Yours faithfully,
Captain.
Master of the m/v ―Sea Bird‖.

Tokyo, 1st July, 2000

To the Master and/ or Owners
of the m/v "Victory",
Port of Tokyo,
Japan
Dear Sirs,
This is to advise you that the English vessel "Victory" under your agency,
collided with my ship, French tanker "Polar Star", in dense fog in the Uraga
Channel on 1st July, at 16.10 local time.
Exact position by bearing and radar distance, taken immediately after the
collision is: Kannansaki light buoy Number two, bearing 195 degrees, 0.7
miles off.
The m/t "Polar Star" was on passage from Kharg Island, to Yokohama
{Kawasaki}, Japan, with a full cargo of crude oil. Maximum draft about 59
fee.
I have to draw your attention to the fact that the collision should not
have occurred if the English vessel "Victory" had kept her course alongside
the recommended route in the fairway. The collision took place on the East
Side of the Middle Line of the Uraga Marking Buoys.
On the account of the foregoing, great damages have been sustained
to the m/t "Polar Star".
Kindly contact and advise the Master of the m/v "Victory" and their
91
Owners, that I on behalf of the Owners of this ship, the m/t "Polar Star", hold
you responsible for all damage to the ship and for all costs involved for sur-
veys, repairs, time loss, and any other expenses arising from this incident.
Yours faithfully,
Captain.
Master of the m/v ―Polar Star‖

Hamburg, 11th July, 2000

To the Master and/or
Owners of the m/v "Panagiotis"
Port of Hamburg.
Dear Sir(s),
I wish to inform you, that on the 10th inst, while proceeding to Hamburg
under Pilot's direction we entered the area of dense fog and dropped anchor
in position 63 61'N, 10 00 Е at 10.00 hours GMT, waiting for the visibility to
improve. Immediately on anchoring we started giving prescribed fog signals
and setting proper lookout.
At 11.25 GMT we heard fog signals of a vessel under way. To attract at-
tention of the oncoming vessel we started giving signals prescribed by the
International Regulations and showed flare-up light.
The approaching vessel which proved to be your ship "Panagiotis", as it
was found later, collided my ship. Your ship struck the starboard side of my
ship in way of Hold No5, causing a big hole and great damage described in
detail in the enclosed Surveyor Report.
Under the circumstances I have to hold you and your Owners responsi-
ble for the damage caused and the consequences which may arise there-
from, of which please take due note.
Yours faithfully,
Captain.

Messrs. H.Hush & Co., Ship Agents
26 Rue Victoria,
Rotterdam,
Holland.
Dear Sirs,
I would ask you kindly to inform the Harbour Master and all concerned
that by the present, I am in a position to protest against detention of my ship
in connection with the collision with the French m/v "Princess". As you know,
my vessel is a state-owned ship and has a priviledge of immunity, being ex-
empt from liens.
I would ask you kindly to take all necessary measures to release my ship
from detainment.
Yours faithfully,
Master of the m/v ―Eleana‖.

НАВАЛ НА ПРИЧАЛ:
ОБЪЯСНИТЕЛЬНАЯ КАПИТАНА
Настоящим сообщаю, что сегодня, 10.08.2000 в 15,45 местного
времени при проведении по просьбе капитана порта перешвартовки
моего судна от причала 3 к причалу 30 мое судно слегка навалило
правой скулой на привальный брус причала 30 между кранцами и
бетонной стенкой, причинив ему незначительные повреждения.
Обстоятельства происшествия следующие:
В 15.00 с лоцманом на борту, при ясной, солнечной погоде, ветре с
вест-зюйд-веста силой 6 баллов, при помощи 2 буксиров начал
перешвартовку к причалу 30 с тем, чтобы разгрузить на нем 3000 т.
зерна и подготовить трюмы к погрузке.
В 15.41 судно приблизилось к причалу 30, при этом один буксир
толкал судно с левого борта в скулу, второй толкал с левого борта в
раковину. Скорость судна при этом составляла около 2-3 узлов.
В 15.44, когда расстояние до причала было около 30 метров,
принимая во внимание сильный прижимной ветер, я отдал команду
обоим буксирам одерживать судно для того, чтобы смягчить касание с
причалом.
В 16.47, когда расстояние до причала было 6 метров, буксирный
конец носового буксира лопнул, нос пошел резко вправо к берегу, и в
15.48 он не совсем мягко коснулся причального бруса, причинив ему
повреждения.
93
В 15.50 судно было ошвартовано правым бортом к причалу 30.
Портовые власти считают капитана судна виновным за
повреждения, причиненные причалу 30 во время перешвартовки.
Приблизительная стоимость ремонта причала 500 долларов. Я
сожалею о навале.
Капитан.
VII. Translate rejecting a claim about contact.

ОТКЛОНЕНИЕ ПРЕТЕНЗИИ
О НАВАЛЕ НА ДРУГОЕ СУДНО
В ответ на Вашу претензию о повреждении, причиненном Вашему
судну нами в результате навала при швартовке по корме Вашего судна
к причалу 2 терминала "Кэмден Марин терминал" в порту Филадедьфия
в 02.30 утра 14.07.00, хотел бы сообщить следующее:
Я сожалею о навале, но корма Вашего судна и его морской борт не
были освещены, как это требуется правилами, что, вместе с туманом,
сделало для нас исключительно трудным определение расстояния до
Вашей кормы с достаточной степенью точности при подходе к причалу.
Я обратил на это внимание нашего лоцмана м-ра Карпентера и
должным образом отметил это в судовом журнале. Уверен, что он под-
твердит этот факт.
Что касается Вашего утверждения о том, что наше судно имело
слишком большой ход при подходе к причалу, то заверяю Вас в том,
что наша скорость в момент навала была не больше пол-узла. Это
легко проверить, опросив нашего лоцмана. Я отвергаю Вашу претензию
как необоснованную.
Капитан.
