    The document summarizes key topics from chapters 10-12 of a maritime law course, including bareboat charters, pilotage, towage, salvage, and stevedoring. It provides an overview of how a bareboat charter differs from other charter types by leasing the entire vessel. It also outlines the roles and information exchange between pilots and ship masters when entering or leaving port, and how towage, salvage, and stevedoring contracts supplement carriage of goods and ship use contracts. Finally, it poses sample questions on the legal implications of these ancillary services, such as liability for crew injuries under a bareboat charter or in stevedoring accidents.

    Name of Student : CIRSTOBAL, MARK MOISES D.Year/ Section: BSMT 3B-NON


    Name of Teacher : LOLITA B. CABALZA
    Course : Maritime Law
    Topics : Chapters 10-12(Bareboat, Pilotage, Towage Salvage &
    Stevedoring)
    Coverage : Final
    Module : 05

    OVERVIEW :

    Sometimes the charter wants to hire a vessel from the shipowner without the
    latter supplying the necessary equipment and crew. This kind of chartering is different
    from the time and voyage charters because the charterer leases the ship and becomes
    a temporary owner of the ship.
    When a vessel is entering or leaving the port, the master has to follow some
    rules governing protection of the ship and the port’s installation. Some of the
    installations are located offshore and a vessel is at risk of accident when moving inside
    the port’s navigable waters.
    To supplement the completion of the contract of carriage of goods and contract
    for the use of ships there are three kinds of services: towage, salvage and stevedoring.
    Although these services are ancillary or supplemental in nature, the contracts for these
    services are important to the ship and cargo. In some unfortunate circumstances,
    salvage operations become inevitable and the master of the ship has to make contracts
    for salvage.
    On the other hand, in developing countries most ships stay longer in the port
    because stevedoring services are not efficient. The contracts for these ancillary services
    attempt to specify and identify the obligations and responsibilities of all parties involved
    in the undertaking in order to avoid unnecessary problems.

    LEARNING OUTCOMES : To be able to understand the legal implications of the


    contracts of pilotage, towage, and stevedoring.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES
    1. To distinguish the following contracts: pilotage, stowage and stevedoring
    2. To discuss the relationships between the pilot and the master
    3. To distinguish salvage from towage
    DESIRED ACTIVITIES. After reading Chapters 10-12, be able to do the following:
    A. Answer the question below.
    1. “MV Don Mario” is under bareboat charter by STK Limited, Inc. It is manned by
    multi-nationals. The master is a Dutch national and most of the crews are
    Filipinos and Indians. While cruising the Oresund Bay, South of Sweden and
    North of Denmark, two of its crew, one Filipino and one Indian fought each other.
    The Filipino seriously hit the Indian which made him lose his eyesight. Is the
    charterer liable for the act committed by the crew? Explain your answer.
    ANSWER: The charterer is not liable for the commited act because first of
    all the word charterer is a person or organization that charters an aircraft,
    boat, which means a person who reserves a boat or other mode of
    transportation for the personal use of others. Both of them are liable
    because they can fix what they had done in there argument or fight.

    2. Before the pilot boards the ship, what important information should be supplied by
    the pilot to the master of ship and vice versa?
    ANSWER: Once the marine pilot is on board the ship, the first thing he
    seeks from the ‘bridge team’ is the Pilot Card. This is his first window to the
    nature of the ship he is entrusted to guide and navigate.

    The Pilot Card reveals the vessels LOA (Length Over All), its beam, its dead
    weight, its tonnage, its draft forward and aft, the engine’s RPM & speed
    (both ballast & loaded) during its different phases of ahead and astern (e.g.-
    dead slow ahead) the nature of the propeller (i.e. whether CPP, VPP, normal
    right handed, Schottel, Voith Schneider, etc), her bow & stern thruster’s
    power, if available and other technical details.

    Clearly, the master and pilot have their own strongpoint and it is the best
    possible option to utilize both of their expertise for the safe passage of the
    ship. Thus a synergy between the pilot and the master is necessary to
    avoid any hazard. The relationship, naturally, will have to be of mutual
    respect and mutual trust. The master is however at liberty to interfere at any
    point of time if he sees his vessel is in danger. But it is expected that he
    informs the pilot about the impending danger and then takes appropriate
    corrective measure or even take over the control of his vessel.
    3. The question below deals with the legal implication of the contract for
    stevedoring.
    1. If a contract for stevedoring is entered into between a private cargo handler
    and the shipowner charter, who would be liable for injuries made by the
    stevedore who committed the injury is off from work.

    ANSWER: A shipowner was found liable for injury to a stevedore working


    aboard, even though the latter was the "person in charge" under safety
    legislation, knew of the danger, and had power to halt operations but failed
    to do so.
