  注:1.因期租船的经营由租船人负责,故对船舶的性能和是否适合于航行的范围和装运的货物,否则就会给经营带来困难,并增加经营成本。
  2.船级是表示船舶的质量,最高级为100ai。
  3.夏季载重吨,海洋上的气候,对航海来说,只有夏季和冬季之分。夏季时期和区域。海洋气候比较平和,故载重吨比冬季高。
  4.袋装与散装容积:两者都是指船舱的容积。因船舱内有龙骨,袋装货物不能填满其空隙,故袋装容积比散装容积小,一般小5%至10%。
第一条 租赁时间:船东愿意出租,租船人愿意租用本轮共计_________日历月(calendar months),从交船并由租船人使用之时起计算。交船必须在平日上午9时至下午6时或星期六上午9时至下午2时进行(星期日和法定假日不得交船)。

  2.船员所用的长行艇费由船东负担。锅炉所用的淡水和船员所吃的淡水都放在一起,所以淡水费一般都由租船人负担三分之二,船东负担三分之一。
第五条 燃料:
  租船人在交船港,船东在还船港,应接受在燃料舱中所贮存之燃煤或燃料油,并按该港口的时价将燃料款付给对方。本轮在交船和还船时,燃料舱中所贮存的燃煤或燃料油不得少于_________吨和不得超过_________吨。

  注:在还船时,如有超出自然损耗的损坏,租船人应负责赔偿。所以交还船手续特别重要,必须慎重办理。
第八条 载货容积:
  除留出适当足够之容积,作为船长、船员、水手、绳索、服物、家俱、伙食和其他储备之用外,全船所有的载货容积(包括甲板上的法定容积),均归租船人使用。

  船长应以最大努力执行一切航行,并取得船员按例之效劳。船长在职务上,代理上和其他它排上应听租船人的命令。船长、船员或代理人在签发提单、其他证件,或按租船人的指示,对本船的文件或装载过量等方面的不规则行为所引起的一切效果与责任,均由租船人负责并赔付给船东。货物短少、掺杂、标记、件数不清和因装载不良使货物受损而引起的索赔,船东概不负责。
  如租船人有理由不满意船长、船员和轮机长的行为,船东于接到租船人的申请书后,应立即进行调查,如属实并有必要,船东应改变其任命。
  注:因船长、船员和轮机长仍属船东的雇员,船舶经营好坏,与其关系不大,所以有些船长、船员和轮机长未能很好地为租船人服务。我们,作为租船人应密切注意其行为,必要时,应提出确切的书面材料要求船东更换。这是租船人的一项权利。
第十条 方向与航海日志:

  注:租船人对船舶停航的原因和停航复航的时间,必须确切掌握。另为了防止船东或其雇员以这条作籍口,随便使船离开正常航线,应争取在本条后面加上:“如船在航程中因事故离开原航线,从离开原航线时起至回到原航线时止,租金停付”。
第十二条 清洗锅炉:

第十三条 责任与豁免:
  因船东或其代理人对本轮的海质注意不够或船东或其代理人或其他个人在航程中的疏忽及失职行为,致造成延迟交船,延迟合同的有效期限和船上货物的灭失与损坏,船东均应负责。对于其他损失或延迟,不论其性质如何,原因如何,即使是船东雇员的疏忽行为所造成者,船东均不负责。因罢工、停工或拘禁(包括船长、船员和水手)所引起的灭失与损坏,不论部分或全部,船东亦不负责。

  (the chamber of shipping warrisk clausel/3)

    2.甲、如租船合同中规定的卸港或提单中指定的卸港被封锁,或;
    乙、如因战争,敌对行为、军事行为、骚乱、革命或国际法的干涉致使:
      (1)船长或船东经过慎重考虑认为有危险或禁止驶入或不能前往卸港。
      (2)船长或船东经慎重考虑认为有危险或不可能到达的卸港。
      因上述情况的影响,应根据租船人的指示,将全部货物或部分货物在原定卸港以外的其他安全港口卸下(新的卸港应不是被封锁的或船长或船东认为是危险的或禁止的港口),如租船人或其代理未在接到船方发出请求代替卸港通知后48小时内宣布新的卸港,船东有权将货物卸在根据船东和船长认为安全的其他港口,并视为已履行租船合同,另应按在原定卸港或提单内所列的卸港照付运费,在此情况下所发生的一切额外费用由租船人或货主负担,否则船东对未收运杂费的货物有留置权。
    3.船舶有权遵守船旗国政府,其他政府和地方当局(包括代管的政府地方当局或经该政府或地方当局授权的任何人员或在船舶兵险保险条件上有权发布或指示的任何组织或个人)对船舶的离港、抵港、航线、挂港、停航、目的港、地区、水面、交货或任何其他方面所发布的命令和指示。
    因遵守上述命令和指示,船舶不能驶至原定卸港或提单中所列卸港时,则可驶至经船东和船长慎重考虑后认为可以驶入的或可前往卸货的其他港口卸货,并视为已履行租船合同,另应按在原定卸港或提单所列卸港卸港卸货照付运费,在此情况下,所发生的一切额外费用由租船人或货主负担,否则船东对未收到运杂费的货物有留置权。
  新杰森条款
  (newjason clause)
    航程开始前后,由于任何原因,不论是否因疏忽而造成意外事件、危险、损失或灾难时,船东对于上述事件及后果,按照法令、合同或其他规定不负责者,有关共同海损所付出之任何牺牲代价、损失或费用等项目,应由托运人、收货人或货主等与承运人共同分摊,对于货物的救助费和其他特殊费用亦应分摊,若拖救的船舶与本船属于同一船东或属同一船东经营者,应视为其他船东的船舶照付救助费等,托运人、收货人或货主须按船东或其代理估计的货物救助费和其他特殊费用预付之。
    注:本条款的主要精神是,不论因任何原因(其中包括船长、船员的疏忽或过失)所引起的共同海损,若按法令、合同或其他规定,船东可以免除责任者,则共同海损的牺牲和费用,应由船、货双方共同公摊,如按法令,合同或其他规定应由船方负责者,则应由船方单独负担。另有引用该条款时,应再加两点说明:
      (1)“共同海损除按1950年约克——安特卫普规则支付外,其理算应按美国法律及习惯办理者,则以新杰森条款为适用依据”。其用意在于部分地变更约克——安特卫普规则,以减轻船方的责任。按约克——安特卫普规则第四条规定:“共同海损的牺牲或费用,其发生的原因纵系因海上共同航行之某方的过失所造成者,过失方仍有享受被补偿的权利;但因其过失所应负之赔偿责任,并不因此免除”。按新杰森条款的规定,共同海损的牺牲或费用虽属船方责任所造成者,如按法令,合同或其他规定船方不负责者,货方应与船方分摊,分摊后,货方不得因船方的过失而转向船方提出赔偿。
      (2)“按照本合同,租船人须获得包含本条款的提单”。其目的是船方避免对第三者负贲。
  两船碰撞互有过失条款
  (bothto blame collision clause)
    若一船和另一船碰撞,系因对方船舶的疏忽和本承运人的船长、水手、引水员或雇员在航行方面或船舶管理方面的任何行为,疏忽或过失所造成者,则对方的船或非承运船或其船东的一切损失,由本承运人担负者,应由承运人所承运的货物的货主补偿本承运人,此项损失或责任仅限于上述货主所受的损失或任何赔偿要求,已从或应从对方的船或非承运船或其船东得到偿付,并从对方的船或非承运船或其船东向本承运船或本承运人提出赔偿,而从已得到赔偿的部分中扣除者。
    除相撞的船舶以外,又碰撞或触及其他船舶或货物,而且所有人,经营人或管理人有过失时,本条款亦应适用。
    注:本条款的中心内容是:甲方的船舶和货物的损失由乙方的船东赔半数;乙方船舶和货物的损失由甲方船东赔偿半数。另有租船合同中引用此条款时,应加两点说明:
      (1)“在履行租船合同时,本船涉及因任何碰撞所发生的责任需按美国法律裁判者。应以本条款为适用。”按一船国家的条例,若两船碰撞,互有过失,则按彼此过失的大小,各向对方的船或货负责的。而按美国法律,不论彼此过失的大小,均以相等的过失来处理。
      在租船合同中所以要列入此条款,主要因非美国籍的船舶若与美国籍的船舶碰撞,而又互有过失,不论在何处碰撞,均须按此条款解决,否则,非美国船籍的船东的任何其他船只在美国港口时,美国籍船的船东都可采取手段将其扣留。船东不愿放弃美国港口的生意,所以在租船合同中要订上此条款。
      (2)“租船人在本合同下所签发的提单须包含此条款。”其目的是保证船东向货主索回应由货主负担的赔偿费用。
