THE CONTRACTING PARTIES TO THE PRESENT PROTOCOL,
BEING PARTIES to the International Convention relating to the limitation of the liability of owners of sea-going ships, done at Brussels on 10th October 1957,
HAVE AGREED as follows:
Article I
For the purpose of this Protocol, <<Convention>> means the International Convention relating to the limitation of the liability of owners of sea-going ships and its Protocol of signature, done at Brussels on 10th October 1957.
Article II
(1) Article 3, paragraph (1) of the Convention is replaced by the following:
<<(1) The amounts to which the owner of a ship may limit his liability under Article 1 shall be:
(a) where the occurrence has only given rise to property claims an aggregate amount of 66.67 units of account for each ton of the ship’s tonnage;
(b) where the occurrence has only given rise to personal claims an aggregate amount of 206.67 units of account for each ton of the ship’s tonnage;
(c) where the occurrence has given rise both to personal claims and property claims an aggregate amount of 206.67 units of account for each ton of the ship’s tonnage, of which a first portion amounting to 140 units of account for each ton of the ship’s tonnage shall be exclusively appropriated to the payment of personal claims and of which a second portion amounting to 66.67 units of account for each ton of the ship’s tonnage shall be
SCHEDULE 6—continued
appropriated to the payment of property claims. Provided however that in cases where the first portion is insufficient to pay the personal claims in full, the unpaid balance of such claims shall rank rateably with the property claims for payment against the second portion of the fund. >>
(2) Article 3, paragraph (6) of the Convention is replaced by the following:
<< (6) The unit of account mentioned in paragraph (1) of this Article is the Special Drawing Right as defined by the International Monetary Fund. The amounts mentioned in that paragraph shall be converted into the national currency of the State in which limitation is sought on the basis of the value of that currency on the date on which the shipowner shall have constituted the limitation fund, made the payment or given a guarantee which under the law of that State is equivalent to such payment. The value of the national currency, in terms of the Special Drawing Right, of a State which is a member of the International Monetary Fund, shall be calculated in accordance with the method of valuation applied by the International Monetary Fund in effect at the date in question for its operations and transactions. The value of the national currency, in terms of the Special Drawing Right, of a State which is not a member of the International Monetary Fund, shall be calculated in a manner determined by that State.
(7) Nevertheless, a State which is not a member of the International Monetary Fund and whose law does not permit the application of the provisions of paragraph (6) of this Article may, at the time of ratification of the Protocol of 1979 or accession thereto or at any time thereafter, declare that the limits of liability provided for in this Convention to be applied in its territory shall be fixed as follows:
(a) in respect of paragraph (1), (a) of this Article, 1,000 monetary units;
(b) in respect of paragraph (1), (b) of this Article, 3,100 monetary units;
(c) in respect of paragraph (1), (c) of this Article, 3,100, 2,100 and 1,000 monetary units, respectively.
The monetary unit referred to in this paragraph corresponds to 65.5 milligrammes of gold of millesimal fineness 900’. The conversion of the amounts specified in this paragraph into the national currency shall be made according to the law of the State concerned.
(8) The calculation mentioned in the last sentence of paragraph (6) of this Article and the conversion mentioned in paragraph (7) of this Article shall be made in such a manner as to express in the national currency of the State as far as possible the same real value for the amounts in paragraph (1) of this Article as is expressed there in units of account. States shall communicate to the depositary the manner of calculation pursuant to paragraph (6) of this Article or the result of the conversion in paragraph (7) of this Article, as the case may be, when depositing an instrument of ratification of the Protocol of 1979 or of accession thereto or when availing themselves of the option provided for in paragraph (7) of this Article and whenever there is a change in either.>>
