材料:

The 4,426gt Swedish vessel Skagern sailed for her next port,Strood,with a draught of 5.95m.The master soon realized,however,that he would not make the tide for berthing if he proceeded to the Medway as planned,to pick up the pilot at the North East Spit.He therefore decided to change the passage plan by shortening the distance and embarking his pilot at the Sunk light vessel.The officer on watch,2/O,was told to make the necessary adjustments and lay off the new courses. 

The 2/O made the original plan based on waypoints calculated and entered by another officer.These had been marked on the various charts and had already been entered into the GPS navigator.When he amended the passage plan he used the GPS to calculate a new course from a waypoint off Lowestoft direct to the Sunk pilot station.In doing so,he didn't realize he had missed out a pre-programmed waypoint in the GPS for a position to the east of the East Shipwash buoy.He didn't notice that his course line intersected the 5m depth contour to the west of the East Shipwash buoy. 

The master did not check the amended passage plan and Skagern continued with her passage.2/O came on watch again four hours before the vessel was due to arrive at the pilot station.One hour before arrival at the Sunk 2/O prepared to embark the pilot. 

He saw the North Shipwash buoy and passed about three cables to the east of it.Shortly afterwards he saw two more buoys ahead of him,the East Shipwash on his port bow and the North-West Shipwash on his starboard.It did not occur to him that anything might be wrong.Shortly afterwards,Skagern ran aground at a full speed of 14 knots.He had found the Shipwash Bank. 

  • Although two tugs were dispatched from Harwich to standby,the master was able to de-ballast his vessel and refloat her successfully with the aid of the main engine.There was no pollution and there appeared to be no damage.     问题:
  • A.speeded up
  • B.shortened the distance by adjusting the planned passage
  • C.made the tide
  • D.engaged trade every two weeks

  5. 材料:

    It is nevertheless submitted that although recklessness and negligence are not easily distinguished,in the same way recklessness and willful misconduct are not easily distinguished. An argument can be made that intentional or reckless(as well as grossly negligent)quasi-deviations should be recognized,simply because COGSA does not exclude them.

    Moreover,if there is fear that the sanctioning of reckless quasi-deviations will lead eventually to sanctioning merely negligent quasi-deviations,the Courts may turn to the classic definition of recklessness to distinguish it from negligence. 

    Recklessness,or gross negligence,or culpable fault,consists of not bringing to the affairs of another the care that persons who are the least careful and the most stupid would not fail to bring to their own affairs.This fault is opposed to GOOD faith.In other words,there is a fundamental breach whenever there is gross negligence equivalent to culpable fault or recklessness.
