1957《船舶所有人责任限制公约》对两类主体责任限制的丧失，分别规定了不同的条件。作为第一类责任限制主体(船舶所有人、承租人、管理人、经营人)，如果自身因为“实际过失或知情放任”(actual fault or privity)引起损害赔偿，那么就丧失了责任限制的权利。但是如果导致损害发生的事故是由于第二类责任限制主体(船长、船员及其他受雇人)的“实际过失或知情放任”引起的，第一类主体仍可以限制责任。有一种情况需要注意的是两类主体发生“竞合”，即船长或是船员同时又是船舶管理人时，仅在其行为、疏忽或过失是以该船的船长、船员身份做出时，才能享受责任限制的保护。*简介：本公约于1957年10月10日在布鲁塞尔召开的第十届海洋法外交会议上通过。参加本公约的国家有：澳大利亚、比利时、丹麦、芬兰、法国、德国、英国、印度、以色列、日本、荷兰、挪威、波兰、葡萄牙、西班牙、瑞典、瑞士、阿尔及利亚、斐济、加纳、巴哈马、巴巴多斯、多米尼加、格林纳达、圭亚那、冰岛、伊朗、马尔加什、毛里求斯、摩纳哥、巴布亚新几内亚、新加坡、叙利亚、汤加、阿拉伯联邦共和国、瓦努阿图、扎伊尔等。 [1]  　　1976《海事索赔责任限制公约》规定：如果经证明，损害是由于责任人本身故意或明知可能造成此种损害而轻率地作为或不为所致，该责任人就无权限制其责任。由于公约第1条对有权享受责任限制的人有具体的规定，因此船舶管理人属于“责任人”的范畴。公约强调了责任限制的丧失与否取决于责任人“本身”的行为，其代理人、受雇人的行为并不影响责任人责任限制的权利。同样的，责任人本人的作为或不为使自己丧失这一权利，并不必然导致其他主体也丧失责任限制的权利。所以在具体事故中，船舶管理人责任限制权利的有无并不影响其他主体的责任限制权利，也不受其他主体的影响。　第三条　不受责任限制的索赔　　本公约的规则不适用于：　　（１）有关救助或共同海损分摊的索赔；　　（２）有关１９６９年１１月２９日国际油污损害民事责任公约的规定，或实 施中的该公约修正案或议定书中所载油污损害的索赔；　　（３）根据管辖或禁止核能损害责任限制的任何国际公约或国内法提出的索赔 ；　　（４）对核子船舶所有人提出的核子损害索赔；　　（５）所任职务与船舶或救助作业有关的船舶所有人或救助人的雇用人员，包 括他们的继承人、亲属或有权提出索赔要求的其它人员所提出的索赔，如果按照船 舶所有人或救助同雇用人之间的服务合同所适用的法律，船舶所有人或救助人无权 在此类索赔方面限制其责任，或者根据此项法律，仅允许将其责任限制在较本公约 第六条规定的限额为高时。　　第四条　不得享受责任限制的行为　　如经证明，损失是由于责任人本身为蓄意造成这一损失，或者明知可能造成这 一损失而轻率地采取的行为或不为所引起，该责任人便无权限制其责任。　　第五条　反索赔　　如果按照本公约规定有权享受责任限制的人，就同一事件向索赔人提出索赔， 则双方提出的索赔应相互抵销，而本公约的规定则仅适用于其间的差额（如有差额 ）。　　第二章　责任限制　　第六条　一般限制　　１．除第七条所列者外，在任一具体情况下提出的索赔的责任限制，应按下列 方法计算：　　（１）有关人身伤亡的索赔：　　①凡吨位不超过５００吨的船舶，为３３３，０００计算单位；　　②凡吨位超过５００吨的船舶，除第①项外，还应增加下列数额：　　自５０１吨至３，０００吨，每吨为５００计算单位；　　自３，００１吨至３０，０００吨，每吨为３３３计算单位；　　自３０，００１吨至７０，０００吨，每吨为２５０计算单位；　　超过７０，０００吨，每吨为１６７计算单位。　　（２）有关其它方面的索赔：　　①凡吨位不超过５００吨的船舶，为１６７，０００计算单位；　　②凡吨位超过５００吨的船舶，除第①项外，还应增加下列数额：　　自５０１吨至３０，０００吨，每吨为１６７计算单位；　　自３０，０００吨至７０，０００吨，每吨为１２５计算单位；　　超过７０，０００吨，每吨为８３计算单位。　　２．但是，如果依照第１款第（１）项计算的那部分款额不敷支付全部索赔， 则依照第１款第（２）项计算的数额，应用以支付第１款第（１）项下所未支付的 差额，而此项未付差额应同第１款第（２）项的索赔按比例取偿。　　３．但是，在无损于按第２款提出的关于人身伤亡的索赔权利的情况下，缔约 国可在国内法中规定，对港口工程、港池、航道和助航设施的损害所提出的索赔， 应依该法规定而享有较第１款第２项所载其它索赔优先受偿的权利。　　４．凡不从任何船舶进行施救工作的救助人，或者只是在对之进行施救工作的 船上作业的救助人，其责任限制应按吨位为１，５００吨的船舶计算。　　５．就本公约而言，船舶吨位应为根据《１９６９年国际船舶吨位丈量公约》

提出或代其提出的任何此种索赔，即：　　（１）根据旅客运输契约而载运者；或　　（２）经承运人同意，随同照料货物运输契约中所载车辆或活动物者。　　第八条　计算单位　　１．上述第六条、第七条所述计算单位，是指国际货币基金组织所规定的特别 提款权。第六条、第七条所述数额，应按照责任限制基金设立之日、付款之日或根 据该国法律与此项付款等值的担保提出之日该国货币的价值，折算成谋求责任限制 所有国家的本国货币。凡属国际货币基金组织成员国的本公约缔约国，其以特别提 款权表示的本国货币的价值，应按国际货币基金组织在上述日期在进行营业和交易 中适用的现行定价办法计算。非属国际货币基金组织成员国的本公约缔约国，其以 特别提款权表示的本国货币的价值，应按该缔约国确定的办法计算。　　２．但是，非属国际货币基金组织成员国，且其法律不允许实施本条第１款规 定办法的国家，可在签字并无保留地批准、接受或认可之时，或在批准、接受、认 可或加入之时，或在此后任何时期宣布，将在其领土内适用的本公约所规定的责任 限制，确定如下：　　（１）有关第六条第１款第（１）项：①凡吨位不超过５００吨的船舶，为５ ，０００，０００货币单位；②凡吨位不超过５００吨的船舶，除第①项外，还应

所述数额在以缔约国本国货币计算时，尽可能表示出上述条款中按计算单位计算时 的同一真实价值。缔约国在签字并无保留地批准、接受或认可之时，或在交存第十 六条所指文件之时，应视情况向本公约保管人提交第１款所述计算办法，或第３款 所述折算结果，并在其变更时作出相应的通知。　　第九条　索赔总额　　１．根据第六条规定的责任限额，应适用于下列各项索赔总额：　　（１）对第一条第２款所指任何人以及他或他们对其行为、疏忽或过失负责的 任何人提出的索赔；　　（２）对从另一艘船舶进行施救工作的该船船舶所有人，和从这种船舶进行施

忽或过失负责的任何人提出的各项索赔的总额。　　第十条　没有设立责任限制基金的责任限制　　１．尽管第十一条所述责任限制基金尚未设立，也可以援引责任限制。但是， 缔约国可在其国内法中规定，当在其法院审理须受责任限制的索赔时，只有在责任 人已按本公约规定设立责任限制基金，或在援用责任限制权利时设立该项基金，才 能援用责任限制的权利。　　２．如在没有设立责任限制基金的情况下援用责任限制，应相应地适用第十二 条的规定。　　３．根据本条规定发生的诉讼程序问题，应按受理诉讼的缔约国本国法律决定 。　　第三章　责任限制基金　　第十一条　基金的设立　　１．被认定负有责任的任何人，可在提出责任限制索赔诉讼的任何缔约国法院 或其他主管当局，设立基金。此项基金应为按照第六条和第七条规定适用于对该责 任者提出索赔的金额，加上从事故发生引起责任之日起至基金设立之日为止的利息
