SYSTEM OF LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Sec. 10. Limitation of Liability. - The Owner shall be entitled to limit his liability under this Act with respect to a particular Incident to a total amount calculated as follows:

(b) For a Ship with a tonnage in excess thereof, for each unit of tonnage, four hundred twenty (420) units of account for each unit in addition to the amount mentioned in paragraph (a): Provided, however, That this aggregate amount shall not, in any event, exceeds 59.7 million units of account:

Provided, further, That the limit of liability of the Owner as aforementioned shall be subject to adjustment according to subsequent amendments to the 1992 Civil Liability Convention.

The limited liability, under this Section may not be availed of by the Owner if it has been established that such Pollution Damage resulted from his personal act or omission, committed with intent to cause such damage, or committed recklessly and with knowledge that such damage would probably result.

The "unit of account" referred to in this Section is the Special Drawing Right (SDR) as defined by the International Monetary Fund as set forth in the 1992 Civil Liability Convention.

Its value is based on a basket of key international currencies.

Sec. 11. Constitution of a fund. - For the purpose of availing himself of the benefit of limitation provided for under Section 10 of this Act following the occurrence of a particular Incident, the Owner shall be required to constitute a fund for the total sum representing the limit of his liability with the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) to cover Incidents causing Pollution Damage: Provided That any claim for compensation from Pollution Damage shall be brought directly to the Regional Trial Courts (RTC).
