Article 803Master's Authority to Pay Salvage Charges

第八百三条(救助料の支払等に係る船長の権限)

A master of a salvaged ship has the authority to perform any and all acts in and out of court in connection with the payment of salvage charges on behalf of the obligor of the salvage charges.

救助された船舶の船長は、救助料の債務者に代わってその支払に関する一切の裁判上又は裁判外の行為をする権限を有する。

The master of a salvaged ship may stand as a plaintiff or defendant in an action involving the salvage charges on behalf of the obligor of the salvage charges.

救助された船舶の船長は、救助料に関し、救助料の債務者のために、原告又は被告となることができる。

The provisions of the preceding two paragraphs apply mutatis mutandis to the master of a ship engaged in the salvage. In this case, the term "obligor" in these provisions is deemed to be replaced with "obligees (limited to the shipowner and mariners of the ship)".

前二項の規定は、救助に従事した船舶の船長について準用する。この場合において、これらの規定中「債務者」とあるのは、「債権者(当該船舶の船舶所有者及び海員に限る。)」と読み替えるものとする。

The provisions of the preceding three paragraphs do not apply to salvage carried out based on a contract.

前三項の規定は、契約に基づく救助については、適用しない。
