释义 | 救助協議 An agreement for the provision of salvage services. Save to the extent that a contract otherwise provides expressly or by implication, a master shall have the authority to conclude contracts for salvage operations on behalf of the shipowner: International Convention on Salvage 1989 art 6. The master or shipowner shall have the authority to conclude such contracts on behalf of the owner of the property on board the vessel. The duties to carry out salvage operation to prevent or minimise damage to the environment will not be affected. Since the agreement may be entered at the moment and under the influence of danger, there is a possible risk of inequality of bargaining power. The court has an equitable power to annul or modify the agreement, if (1) the terms of the agreement are considered to be not equitable, or (2) the consent of a party is vitiated by fraud or concealment or undue influence, or (3) the remuneration is excessive: International Convention on Salvage 1989 art 7; Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules of Law Relating to Assistance and Salvage at Sea 1910 art 7. The usual agreement to render salvage services is on a ‘no cure, no pay’ basis: The Goulandris [1927] P 182. The agreement need not be in writing, but it must be clearly proved: The Graces (1844) 2 Wm Rob 214. The most popularly used standard form of agreement of salvage is LOF (Lloyd’s Open Form) 2000. See also Salvage; Salvage charges; Salvage money; Salved vessel; Salving vessel. 救助服務的協議。除合約另有以明示或默示方式規定的範圍外,船主應有權代表船東訂立救助作業的的合約:《1989年國際救助公約》第6條。船主或船東應有權代表在船上的財物擁有人訂立有關的救助協議。不會影響為阻止或減少對環境損害進行救助作業的責任。有關的協議可在受到危險影響的一刻或之下訂立,因而可能有商議權力不平等的危險。如 (1) 法院認為協議的條款並不是衡平法權益,或 (2) 以欺詐手段或隱瞞事實或不當影響使其中一方當事人的同意成為無效,或 (3) 報酬超乎適度,則法院有衡平法上的權力取消或修改協議:《1989年國際救助公約》第7條;《1910年統一若干有關海上援助及救助的法律規則國際公約》第7條。協議通常根據「沒有救治,便沒有償付」的原則給予救助服務:The Goulandris [1927] P 182。 有關的協議不須以書面作出,但必須清晰地證明:The Graces (1844) 2 Wm Rob 214。最普遍使用的救助協議標準表格是 LOF(勞合社公開表格)2000。另見 Salvage; Salvage charges; Salvage money; Salved vessel; Salving vessel。 |
