Constituye un principio generalmente reconocido que cada estado

es libre de escoger la modalidad de adaptación del propio derecho interno

a los fines de cumplir con las obligaciones internacionales l. Este princi-

pio esta expresamente reconocido en algunas convenciones. Por ejemplo,

la Convención de Bruselas de 1924 sobre. Conocimientos de Embarque

establece en su Protocolo de Firma que las partes contratantes podrán

hacer efectiva la Convención" "soit en lui donnant force de loi, soit en

introduisant dans leur législation nationale les règles adoptées par la

Convention sous une forme appropriée à cette législation"' El mismo

MARÍTIMAS INTERNACIONALES

Constituye un principio generalmente reconocido que cada estado

es libre de escoger la modalidad de adaptación del propio derecho interno

a los fines de cumplir con las obligaciones internacionales l. Este princi-

pio esta expresamente reconocido en algunas convenciones. Por ejemplo,

la Convención de Bruselas de 1924 sobre. Conocimientos de Embarque

establece en su Protocolo de Firma que las partes contratantes podrán

hacer efectiva la Convención" "soit en lui donnant force de loi, soit en

introduisant dans leur législation nationale les règles adoptées par la

Convention sous une forme appropriée à cette législation"' El mismo

attacks were reported, this year only 9 such attacks have been recorded.

Violence to crew statistics

Incidents of crime against crew members have also declined: 83 incidents were

reported in the first semester of 2019, compared with 136 in 2018. Among those

incidents, 38 involved crews taken hostage, 37 members of crews were kidnapped,

2 were injured and 1 was killed. There were no fatalities in 2018.

Location statistics

The vast majority of incidents took place in West Africa (28), particularly in

Nigeria (21). In terms of crime statistics, 16 members of crew were taken hostage

in Guinea, 12 hostages were reported in Nigeria and 14 kidnappings took place in

Nigeria. Overall, 73% of global kidnappings and 92% of global hostages are

attributed to the Gulf of Guinea region. To this day it remains the riskiest area for

mariners.

Focus on West 4frica and Somalia

Benin: Gas oil tankers, in particular, are targeted and forced to sail out of Benin

anchorage. The pirates and robbers in the area are well armed and violent. The

pirates have been known to force masters to sail to unknown locations where the

ship's properties and part cargo (usually gas oil) is stolen.

Nigeria: Pirates and robbers are well armed and violent. The attacks have targeted

ships and crew along and far from the coast, rivers, anchorages, ports and

surrounding waters. All waters in and off Nigeria remain risky. Incidents,

especially kidnapping for ransom, continue to increase. The Nigerian navy has

been responsive to reported incidents by dispatching patrol boats.

Notable incidents include:

9 March 2019: Nigerian flagged Offshore Support Vessel was attacked by armed

pirates around 32 nm SE of Brass, Nigeria. Pirates armed with machine guns in

two speed boats attacked the support vessel. The pirates boarded the ship, broke

into the accommodation, vandalised the cabins and then proceeded to the Engine

Room, kidnapped five men and escaped. One Nigerian navy armed guard was

killed in the exchange of gun fire with the pirates. Investigations are still ongoing.

19 April 2019: Palau flagged Product Tanker was attacked by armed persons while

anchored at Bonny Outer Anchorage, Nigeria. Unauthorised persons boarded the

vessel, kidnapped six crews and escaped. The Nigerian navy was notified and

investigations took place. The crews were released safe on 26.06.2019.

Somalia: The opportunity for incidents has decreased, however Somali pirates are

still capable of carrying out attacks. The pirates are well armed with automatic

weapons and RPGs and often use skiffs launched from mother vessels, which may

be hijacked fishing vessels or dhows.

International Working Group Fair Treatment of Seafarers'

Sub-Committee on Maritime Law and Refugee Migration at Sea

Report August 2019

The Sub-Committee was constituted on November 2018. In the first months, the composition

of the Sub-Committee was enlarged as to include also Edmund Sweetman as a member.

Then, contact has been made with Frederick Kenney/IMO, in order to verify the interest in a

possible collaboration on the topic of vessel responder immunity.

It seems that there is some interest from their side, bearing in mind that there are a number of

potential legal "gaps", including also compensation for merchant vessels conducting government-

directed rescues during a mass migration, and whether the definition of distress in SOFAS and SAR

should be different in a mass migration situation. Moreover it seems that also ICS has started

looking at the issue and may be interested.

A further meeting has been scheduled on October to discuss the way forward.

Mr. Chris DavisPresidentComite Maritime International

Dear Chris

Report for the CMI Assembly — Mexico 2019 on the IWG on the Recognition ofJudicial Sales

1. Introduction:

All national maritime law associations have been kept fully abreast with what hasbeen going on in relation to the work being undertaken by the IWG on theInternational Recognition of Judicial sales through the various letters that have beensent out requesting assistance on various aspects of the project and through the reportin the Newsletter published recently.

Stuart Hetherington reported to the Assembly in London in detail how 2018 wasindeed a hugely exciting year for CMI as far as this project is concerned. Just to recapit was in 2017, that the CMI submitted a proposal to the Secretariat of UNCITRAL onpossible future work by UNCITRAL on cross border issues related to the judicial saleof ships. Whilst a number of delegations supported the proposal and expressedinterest, it was suggested that CMI might seek to develop and advance the proposal byholding a colloquium so as to provide additional information to the Commission andallow it to take an informed decision.

It was therefore decided to co-host a joint Colloquium between the CMI, the MaltaMaritime Law Association and the Maltese Government. The Colloquium wasattended by over 180 delegates from over 50 countries representing banks andfinanciers, ship owners, ship repairers, crew, tug operators, salvors, providers ofprovisions, bunkers, harbour authorities, flag registries, the ITF, members of theJudiciary from various jurisdictions who deal with judicial sales, BIMCO, FONASBAand maritime lawyers who have had to deal with the very serious challenges presentedby the chaos caused when judicial sales are not recognised. There was anoverwhelming case made by each and every one of these groups, encouraging thecreation of an international instrument which would once and for all regulate this areaand inject a degree of stability and certainty.

In the words of Tillman Stein of Deutche bank who spoke at the Malta Colloquiumon behalf of another 11 German Ship Finance banks:

"Without a reliable international basis for recognition of judicial sales of vessels,buyers would need to be satisfied with the risks when obtaining title, which woulddrive down the sale price. This would be a very bad thing for any bank needing tosell the vessel in a judicial sale."

2. The Swiss Proposal

The detailed conclusions of the Malta Colloquium constituted the very basis of theproposal of Switzerland to UNCITRAL. So in July 2018 Stuart Hetherington thePresident of CMI and I attended the 51' Assembly of UNCITRAL in New York forthe purposes of supporting the Swiss Proposal represented by Alex von Ziegler andwhich presented the CMI draft convention. As it turned out there were another 7Proposals being made to UNCITRAL at the same time and the Chair had made it veryclear that the Assembly could only approve 3 new projects. It was only at the end ofthat week that we were informed that our project was accepted for future work atUNICTRAL and that the first working group to finish its current work would beallocated this project. The project was later allocated to Working Group V1.

3. First meeting of Working Group V1 held in New York between the 12th and 17thMay 2019.

The was indeed a most exciting week in the calendar of the CMI which witnessed noless than 11 years of very hard work culminating in a full discussion by UNCITRALwith a view to finally turning the draft convention on the international recognition ofJudicial Sales of ships into an international instrument.

The invitees to this first meeting of Working Group V1 were the 60 states membersof UNCITRAL. Countries are elected to UNCITRAL for a three year period so thatthere is a rotation of states every three years. However all member states of the UNmay attend the meeting, even those not elected to UNCITRAL, but these would nothave any voting rights. Apart from the member states there would be a number ofNGO's who have a right to express their views on the subject matter but also withoutvoting rights.

The NGO's attending this first meeting of Working Group V1 in New York were theCMI, the Grupo Latinoamericano de Abogado Para el derecho del comercioInternational, the International Association of Judges, the International BarAssociation, the International Chamber of Shipping, the International Law Institute,the International Union of Marine Insurance, the Moot Alumni Association, the NewYork Bar Association and the Law Association of Asia and the Pacific and BIMCO.

States were in the main represented by their own diplomats resident in New York.Most of the delegates did not have a shipping background. That said there were anumber of important jurisdictions who were accompanied by maritime lawyers whocontributed significantly to the debate. The Swiss delegation — the proponent of theProposal, was headed by Alex von Zeigler president of the Swiss maritime lawassociation and CMI Exco member, the US Delegation was assisted by Frank Nolan,the President of the USMLA; The Japanese delegation was assisted by JapaneseMLA council member and past CMI Exco member Tomotaka Fujita, the Spanishdelegation was assisted by Eduardo Albors the President of the Spanish MaritimeLaw Association, the Chinese Delegation was assisted by Henri Li, President of theChinese Maritime Law Association and co-chair of this IWG on Judicial Sales andProf Chu Bei Ping current CMI Exco member.

On the first day we were welcomed by Mr. Jose Angelo Estrella Faria, Principal Legal

Officer and Head, Legislative Branch of the UNCITRAL Secretariat who was assisted

by Mr. Ryan Harrington and Mr. Alexander Kunzelmannn. The working group

elected Prof. Beata Czerwenka from Germany as the Chair of the Working Group.

Alex von Zeigler introduced and explained the Proposal of the CMI. On my part and

as coordinator of this project for CMI at UNCITRAL I explained in detail how CMI

operates, how it conducts its research through its extensive network and the work

which had been done by the CMI to bring the project to a Draft Convention, the case

law which had shown the need for certainty in this important aspect of international

trade and how the CMI had reacted.

Much needed focus and attention was paid to the underlying raison d'etre of the draft

convention which remains that international trade demands certainty, buyers need

clean title to be able to register their new acquisition and have any previous

registration and mortgages deleted and to ensure that their ships are not arrested by

the vessel's previous creditors. Following this extensive introduction, the Secretariat

expressed the view that given the amount of work conducted and the draft text, it

made good sense for the Working Group to use the Draft prepared by CMI as a basic

working document from which to develop the international instrument. The four days

that followed were dedicated to an explanation of the raison d'etre behind each and

every article with numerous interventions from the floor. Since most delegations did

not have the benefit of a maritime background, this was a good opportunity for us

CMI representatives to explain and delve into the specificities of maritime law

including for instance explanations on how financiers of ships protect their interests

by means of mortgages, how numerous jurisdictions would give maritime liens to a

number of maritime service providers, the differences between voyage, time and

bareboat charters, how a judicial sale on the one hand had nothing to do with the

action on the merits prior to the sale or the distribution of the proceeds following the

sale and how the practicalities of having a vessel under arrest awaiting a judicial sale

actually work out in real terms and how such circumstances have a very big effect on

the crew serving on such vessels, the creditors and on the defaulting owners

themselves.

In the explanation of each article in the convention, specific reference was made tohow in the view of CMI such drafting would assist in solving a number of thepractical problems that arose as well as a number of the concerns raised from thefloor.

The Secretariat took note of the various concerns of those who spoke and prepared areport of the proceedings of the entire week which was read out in draft during the lastafternoon. It is understood that when the draft is indeed finalised by the Secretariat,this will be available on the UNCITRAL Working V1 website.

The Secretariat is currently preparing and finalising a further draft taking intoaccount those considerations and comments of the delegates. We have been incontact with the Secretariat throughout the summer. We are not expecting thechanges to effect the substance of the draft or its aim being to ensure that a vesselsold in a judicial sale is sold free and unencumbered provided that the minimumcriteria prior to the sale are satisfied. The next draft will be the subject matter offurther discussion at the next working group meeting in Vienna between the 18th andthe 22nd of November 2019.

There is no doubt that by the end of the week, delegates were much better informedon the background and need for such an international instrument. However as weadvance in our discussions it becomes all the more important for the attending andparticipating nations in this Working Ggroup to be well informed about the detailsand if possible to be accompanied by maritime lawyers who can immediately graspthe issues at stake. I cannot therefore over emphasize the role which all of youNational Maritime Law Associations play in this respect. Again we would like to askyou to approach your respective governments to ensure that your governments attendand are properly briefed. Again maximum efforts should be made to explain theimportance that the state delegates are accompanied by maritime experts. Themembers of the IWG are working very hard indeed by reaching out to a number ofnational maritime law associations with a view to seeing how this can in fact be done.

At this juncture I would like to thank all those involved in this project from itsinception — the original IWG members who worked so hard on the creation of thedraft and the current IWG members who are now working to see this project throughthis different stage of its existence and my Co-Chair Prof Henry Li.

Needless to say this is a very important project for the CMI — the entire raison d'etreof the CMI is the unification of international maritime law. Thus the promulgationof an international instrument on the international recognition of judicial sales wouldcontinue to underline the need and relevance of the CMI today over a hundredyears after its creation.

1. INTRODUCTION

This report covers the reporting period 1 July 2018 to 31 August 2019. The IWG continued its

work as indicated in its last annual report to Assembly in London and interim report to the ExCo

(3 March 2019).

2. MEMBERSHIP MATTERS

The IWG welcomed new members appointed by ExCo, Phillip Buhler and Esther Mallach.

3. IWG ACTIVITIES SINCE CMI LONDON

The IWG is currently operating through three subgroups, namely on Antarctic Shipping (chaired

by David Baker), COLREGS in Polar Environments (chaired by Stefanie Johnston) and Cruise

Passengers' Rights (chaired by Lars Rosenberg Overby).

3.1 Antarctic shipping

D. Baker chairs this newly formed subgroup composed of P. Buhler, K. Crosbie, K. Khosla, D.

Rothwell and C. Wu (UK Club).

The Antarctic Shipping subgroup chair continued work on the draft paper prepared by Young

CMlers Ansam Okbani and Dharshini Bandara. A revised version of the paper was submitted to

the International Group of P&I Clubs and used as a basis for the submission of a document to

the Antarctic Meeting Consultative Meeting (ATCM) on 1-11 July in Prague. David Baker

attended on behalf of the International Group (IG) and presented the document. Phillip Buhler

from the IWG also attended the meeting as part of the International Group's delegation. David

Baker's report, which wil l be discussed at the IWG's meeting in Mexico City, is attached. It is

worth highlighting David Baker's remark that "The submission was well received by States at

the meeting and who expressed their thanks for the paper and explanation of issues that might

usefully be addressed by States (and the ATCM) when seeking to give effect to the Liabi l ity

Annex."

The IWG will continue consideration of this issue in Mexico City.

3.2 COLREGS in polar environments

The membership of the COLREGS subgroup is composed of S. Johnston (chair), A. Chircop, P.

Cullen, N. Frawley, Y-K Park, L. Rosenberg Overby, A. Skaridov, and D. (Duke) Snider (technical

expert). The goal of the subgroup is to produce a working paper exploring the application of the

COLREGS in polar environments.

I n the March 2019 interim report to ExCo, the Chair reported that the COLREGS subgroup chair

was retrieving casualty investigation reports and data concerning incidents in polar

environments, including information from P&I clubs and insurers regarding what they are doing

regarding risk, types of casualties in Arctic and Antarctic waters, and possible interaction

between COLREGS and the Polar Code. The Chair has no received further progress reports.

The work of this subgroup wil l be discussed further in Mexico City.

3.3 Cruise passengers's rights

The subgroup has the following: L. Rosenberg Overby (chair), P. Buhler, K. Crosbie, E. Mallach

and D. Rothwell.

The Passengers' Rights subgroup has a template for a working paper. The Chair did not receive

further progress reports on the paper at the time of submission of this report. The IWG will

consider how to advance work in this subgroup at the Mexico City meeting.

4. WEBSITE

The IWG's page on the CMI website is up to date. The most recent documents uploaded

i ncluded the annual report to ExCo and Assembly (London, 2018) and the 'Supplement to the

2014 Working Paper on Load Lines'.

5. OTHER ACTIVITIES

The IWG, in partnership with the Journal of International Maritime Law (JIML) and a research

project at Dalhousie University funded by the Ocean Frontier Institute, produced a special issue

on the Polar Code (volume 24, issue 6, November-December 2018). Several IWG members

contributed to the issue. The issue focused on the implementation of the Polar Code in Canada

(Chircop, Pamel, Czarski), Denmark/Greenland (Rosenberg Overby), Norway (Rosaeg), Russian

Subject: IWG Polar Shipping - Antarctic subgroup - update for CMI colloquium - Mexico

Dear CMI IWG Polar Shipping colleagues,

I am writing to you in my capacity as Chair of this IWG's Antarctic subgroup and on the matter

of the work of that subgroup that wil l be discussed at the IWG meeting in Mexico City during

the CMI colloquium.

You will recall from the discussions at the previous IWG meeting in London in November 2018

that this subgroup was focused on work within the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meetings

(ATCM) on States' implementation of the Liability Annex VI to the Environmental Protocol to

the Antarctic Treaty (AT). That work had been initiated by the International Group of P&I Clubs

(IG) and who had submitted and presented a paper on the Annex to the ATCM in Beijing in

2017. That paper, attached to this email, highlighted a number of issues with the Annex that

States might wish to consider during the implementation stage.

As a result of the discussions on that paper at that ATCM, this subgroup (with the IG's blessing)

then sought to analyse a number of the issues raised in that IG paper and engaged two lawyers

from the Young CMI who prepared an analysis of the issues for this IWG's Antarctic subgroup to

consider. The two Young CMlers were Dharshini Bandara and Ansam Okbani. You may recall

that Dharshini attended the IWG's meeting in London in November 2017.

The analysis prepared by Dharshini and Ansam (who both did fantastic work and might

appropriately be recognized more widely within the CMI) was reviewed by the subgroup and

who then finalized that analysis as the basis for a submission by the IG to the ATCM in Prague in

J uly this year. This was the route taken given that the IG had initiated this work and is currently

(along with the IMO and IOPC Funds) an invited expert to the ATCMs. The IG welcomed that

d raft submission for consideration and then, after reviewing the draft, submitted the attached

paper to the ATCM in July and that was based very heavily on this subgroup's draft.

Page 158: VFNEZOLANA MED'ICIIUÀ MARrTIffla t4i.A2R1.4GRZ EJC Intern ... · /14.J VtIr COMITF MA Ill TIMO VEN F7(3 LA NO A,o,I.N(IAn V0110,1,113 de D,10,0 1,1,1-1111110 11114 201 €Centenatio

I subsequently attended the ATCM as the IG's representative, alongside representatives from

the IMO, IOPC Funds (who were providing information to the ATCM on the IMO Conventions

and the operation of the Funds) as other invited experts to the ATCM.

The submission was well received by States at the meeting and who expressed their thanks for

the paper and explanation of issues that might usefully be addressed by States (and the ATCM)

when seeking to give effect to the Liabi l ity Annex. There were plenty of calls for more States to

give effect to the Annex with many States sti l l yet to do so.

I n this regard, the Consultative Parties to the AT (there are 29 such States and that al l need to give

effect to the Liability Annex for it to enter into force) provided updated information on the status

of their approval of the Liability Annex and implementation in domestic legislation. So far, the

following Consultative Parties have approved the Annex:

Australia, Ecuador, Finland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Peru, Poland,

the Russian Federation, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine, the United Kingdom and Uruguay.

The Netherlands picked up on the point in the submission about the lack of alignment between

the Liabi l ity Annex limits and the 1996 LLMC Protocol (increased) limits and suggested that it may

be necessary to update clause 9.2 of the Annex upon its entry into force in order for it to be

brought into line with the 1996 LLMC Protocol limits. As a result, this has now been included as a

work item on the ATCM's multi-year strategy work programme and, in line with a further

suggestion from the UK in response to the IG's submission, also agreed that the ATCM Secretariat

prepare a report for next year's ATCM summarising the state of affairs on the liability front. I take

this to mean a report that summarises all relevant ATCM Measures and Resolutions previously

adopted regarding liability matters, but we will see.

As a result of the submission and contribution to the meeting, the IG has been invited back to next

year's ATCM as invited experts along with the IMO and IOPC Funds. Next year's ATCM will take

place in Helsinki from 25 May to 4 June 2020.

I am happy to report further at the IWG's meeting in Mexico and then for consideration to be

given to the direction of this IWG's Antarctic subgroup, if any.

I'm also more than happy to answer any questions in advance of the IWG's meeting.

Otherwise, I look forward to seeing you there.

Best regards

David

Offshore activities — pollution liability and related issues.

Report to ExCo and Assembly meetings 2019 .

In my Report to the ExCo meeting and Assembly carried out at Genoa, it was

explained that the way towards an international convention on Transboundary

Pollution caused by Offshore Activities through IMO Legal Committee has

been closed.

Patrick Griggs reported that the Legal Committee adopted the Guidance

Document and expressed the hope that it would prove useful and agreed that no

further work by the Committee would he necessary.

That means that as far as the Legal Committee is concerned, there is, at this

time, no interest in an international convention on the subject.

We identified and informed two different options to continue the way ahead,

after the I UMI alternative was discarded,

(i) we stated that if you read the approved Guidance Document you will note

that it is not a draft convention. It does not provide a definition of transboundary

pollution, or of the concerned Offshore Artifacts, or on limitation of liability

and how it would work. It is just a handful of nice principles (like polluter pays,

jurisdiction in the country which suffered the pollution, etc.) but it could not

even be considered a reasonable set of soft law, like the IMO Guidelines on

Places of Refuge are. Consequently, any bilateral or regional agreement will

need to be drafted and the IWG could assist on this work. We held an informal

meeting with representatives of the Adriatic Countries and we were informed

that once some political issues were dealt with, they will ask our assistance to

draft an Adriatic Regional Convention on the issue. We received no news from

the Adriatic Countries.

(ii) we mentioned that the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP)

could be interested in the drafting of an International Convention on

Transboundary Pollution generated by Offshore Activities. We have identified

that the right Officer to discuss this matter with is the Norwegian

Environmentalist Erik Solheim, who is presently UNEP's Executive Director.

We contacted him with the kind assistance of our Past President Karl-Johan

Gombrii. A very complete briefing was prepared and sent by our immediate

Past President Stuart Hetherington and the undersigned. UNIT nominated Ms.

Lara Ognibene as speaker in the Mexican Colloquium. Unfortunately, she was

relocated to Europe and was unable to attend the Mexican Colloquium.

After discussing the situation with our President, it was decided not to insist

with UNEP considering that it is possible that the issue could be discussed again

in IMO if the MODUs were finally considered vessels. Then, the issue of the

applicable International Conventions will be raised and we could take the

opportunity to propose an international convention to rule the pollution

originated in Offshore artifacts.

Mr. Chris DavisPresidentComite Maritime International

Dear Chris

Report of the International Working Group on Ship Finance Security Practicesfor the Assembly meeting in Mexico 2019

During this past year since the last Assembly meeting in November 2018, the

International Working Group on Ship Finance Security Practices has completed the

brief assigned to it in 2015.

The conclusions drawn by the IWG are the following:

1. There is no appetite for a protocol on shipping to the Cape Town Convention.

2. That the questionnaires which were filled in contain excellent research

material and should therefore be available on line3. That therefore the brief of this IWG should be terminated and considered as

having been exhausted.4. That the same group should be converted into an IWG on securing container

financing.

The above conclusions were reached following a 4 year information gatheringexercise which started off in 2015.

I. IWG set up in 2015

As this Assembly is fully aware, this 1WG was created as a reaction to the renewed

enthusiasm in Unidroit in 2013, on the possible extension of the Cape Town

Convention to Shipping, evidenced by an attempt to put the matter back on theagenda. However during 2014, this enthusiasm waned again and the SecretaryGeneral of Unidroit confirmed to our President then Mr. Stuart Hetherington that"informal consultations required to gather information on the actual financingpractices of the maritime industry are being undertaken by Unidroit and are to beconsidered on going."

It was this that led to the creation of the IWG with our brief being very much "togather as much information as possible from our national maritime lawassociations on the regimes prevalent in each country on ship finance securitypractices and the ease or otherwise of the enforcement of Maritime Securities."

Members of the IWG were Andrew Tetley Partner at Reed Smith Paris; DavidOsborne Partner at Watson Farley and Williams in London; Armstrong Chen Partnerat King and Wood Mallesons in Beijing; Souichirou Kozuka Professor of Law atGakushuin University in Tokyo; Camilla Mendes Vianna Cardoso Managing Partnerof Mendes Vianna Advogados Brazil; Allen Black Partner at Winston and Strawn in

the United States; Stefan Rindfleisch Partner at Ehlermann Rindfleisch and Gadow

Germany; Andrea Berlingieri Partner at Studio Berlingieri Maresca Italy and Hacovan der Hoeven van Ordt Partner at AKD Holland.

One of the first things the IWG did was to draft a very extensive questionnaire which

was circulated to all the 52 national maritime law associations in October 2016. Given

the nature of the subject matter it was considered imperative that the questionnaire be

as extensive as possible. A copy is attached hereto. As can be seen questions ranged

from whether the jurisdiction has ratified the 1952 and / or the 1952 Arrest of Ships

Convention to what rights does the ship's register in that jurisdiction confer, to the

formalities of the registration of a mortgage, to the procedures for the enforcement of

a mortgage to information relating to security interests in ships to general enforcement

issues.

A total of 24 national maritime law associations replied. These were Malta, Finland,

Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Argentina, Brazil, Croatia, Panama, Switzerland,

Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Holland, Canada, Greece, Norway, the United

Kingdom, Spain and Nigeria, China, the United States and India.

2. joint session between the IWG of the CMI and the USMLA on ship finance

security practices 2016

At the CMI meeting in New York in 2016, our IWG and the USMLA Marine

Financing Committee organised a session entitled: "Ship Finance Security Practices."

This session aimed at exploring whether or not ship financiers were content with

the level of security available and what was the degree of comfort being offered by

flag states and international conventions. The session was chaired by myself and

Marjorie F Krumholz — the chair of the USMLA Marine Financing Committee.

This session was geared towards offering a very practical perspective of what the

actual situation was on the ground in a number of jurisdictions. The programme

consisted of the following:

• The security offered by flag states — Marshall Island's example — Clay

Maitland

• Discussion on the Liens and Mortgages Convention — Marjorie Krumholz and

Giorgio Berlingieri

• Panel discussion on the work of the IWG on Ship Finance Security Practices;

Ann Fenech, David Osborne, Camilla Mendes Viana Cardoso, Allen Black.

This session was very well attended indeed with standing room only.

3. Presentation at Genoa 2017.

By the Assembly meeting in Genoa 2017, we had received quite a number of filled in

questionnaires from a number of national maritime law associations. The IWG

worked very hard indeed in absorbing all the various replies received and in preparing

a summary and commentary of the answers to the questions put in the questionnaire.

This summary was presented at the CMI Assembly in Genoa in 2018. A copy of this

power point presentation is available on the CMI Website and a text scripted up

version is available in the Year book just published. The answers to the questions

were as extensive as the questionnaire however by and large the message we were

receiving through these answers was that most jurisdictions dealt with the

enforcement of the rights of ship financiers in an acceptably efficient manner and that

there did not appear to be any insurmountable problems.

Most jurisdictions recognise and give effect to ship mortgages by one means or

another. In particular, foreign ship mortgages are widely recognised.

4. London Assembly meeting 2018

Following the receipt of the questionnaires, it was felt that time was right to have an

International Sub Committee meeting on the subject and to take advantage of the CMI

Assembly being held in London in 2018 to convene such a meeting.

The International Sub committee meeting aimed at having all members of CMI

interested in the subject matter to attend and to have an open and frank discussion on

the subject matter.

In order to assist with the discussion, David Osborne and I prepared a detailed

discussion paper which is split into 4 parts. This discussion paper is available on our

website. It gives a substantial introduction into the subject matter; it deals with some

industry insights, the work being done in connection with the international recognition

of judicial sales as well as an insight into the views of a number of Academic

authorities on the subject matter; it provides a summary and commentary on the

responses to the questionnaire and draws a number of conclusions including:

• Most jurisdictions recognise and give effect to ship mortgages by one means

or another. In particular, foreign ship mortgages are widely recognised.

However, by its nature the questionnaire does not reveal the extent to which

practical difficulties or delays may be encountered.

• There is as yet no sign of pressure from financiers to develop a Shipping

Protocol. This contrasts with the strong aviation industry pressure (from both

manufacturers and financiers) which led to the development of the Cape Town

Convention and the Aircraft Protocol.

• It would appear that no interest either has been shown in the subject matter by

any of the major shipping organisations including ICS, BIMCO, FONASBA,

or the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers.

• Developing a Shipping Protocol for Cape Town would be a major and time-

consuming undertaking.1 In order to stand any chance of success it would need

to side-step any attempt to create conformity on treatment of maritime liens,

i.e. the issue which has been the stumbling block to the success of the

Maritime Liens and Mortgages Conventions. This alone is likely to raise

numerous questions given the extent of important privileges enjoyed by non-

consensual right holders.

• One potential advantage would be to remove the `bankability' issue around

some registers and some enforcement jurisdictions. The ability to take a Cape

Town international interest might be attractive to financiers of a ship

registered on a flag which does not give satisfactory remedies to a mortgagee

and/or which is operating in an unfavourable enforcement jurisdiction.

The International Sub-Committee meeting was held at the offices of Reed Smith on

the 7th of November 2018.

Over 57 participants attended from 21 countries. They all expressed their view on

whether or not they saw a need for a shipping protocol. Only two countries could see

some benefit for such a protocol whilst acknowledging that there were numerous

challenges. The others saw no need for such a protocol highlighting the lack of

interest from the industry and the challenges involved related to the privileged

position of non consensual rights in most jurisdictions. A number agreed that the

Cape Town Convention was suitable for the registration of interests in containers and

that there was a need for the international regulation of leasing separate and distinct

from any Cape Town protocol.

There was however wide support for the proposition that there appeared to be little to

protect the interests of financiers in containers which was an area which had no

supportive regulation whatsoever.

A copy of the minutes of this meeting are also available on the website.

1 It has been suggested that the task might be too great and that a more manageable and fruitful task

would be to develop Cape Town Protocols for containers or for offshore oil and gas assets which are

not typical 'ships'.

5. Conclusions of the International Working Group.

In view of the conclusions drawn from the questionnaires filled in and given the

content of the discussion at the International sub committee meeting, it was felt that

the IWG had indeed carried out the brief originally given to it which was as stated

above to gather as much information as possible from our national maritime law

associations on the regimes prevalent in each country on ship finance security

practices and the ease or otherwise of the enforcement of Maritime Securities. The

IWG could also say that there appeared to be little scope for taking the matter any

further.

The IWG also considered in detail whether it would be of benefit to make use of the

human resources already present in the IWG and to get it to turn its attention to the

other topic of Container Financing.

The idea was put forward to Exco and it was unanimously agreed that the IWG on

Ship Finance Security Practices, having concluded its brief would turn into an IWG

on Security Interests over Shipping Containers.

Furthermore and in view of the very substantial workload which the Chair of this

IWG currently has in connection with her role as CMI co-ordinator at UNICTRAL on

the project related to the International Recognition of Judicial Sales, she proposed that

she be replaced as chair of this IWG by two co-chairs, David Osborne and Benoit

Goemans - two very experienced persons in the world of maritime law and

containerisation. This proposal was accepted by Exco and both David Osborne and

Benoit Goemans have very kindly accepted to co-chair this IWG on Security Interests

over Shipping Containers.

They will therefore be reporting to you next year.

On a personal note I would very much like to say that it was my privilege and honour

to Chair this International Working Group. I would like to thank the CMI for the

opportunity. I would like to also thank very much indeed my colleagues on the

committee who put in a great deal of time and effort in putting together the

Questionnaire, sifting through the replies and summarising the replies and working

with a great spirit of purpose, co-operation and comradery. It was an absolute

pleasure to work with them.

Thank you very much indeed.

Memorandum

CMI INTERNATIONAL WORKING GROUPON VESSEL NOMENCLATURE

To: Christopher 0. Davis, President, Comite Maritime International

From: Francis X. Nolan, III, Chair, International Working Group onNomenclature

Date: September 10, 2019

The Vessel Nomenclature IWG sent its first questionnaire to members on March 16,

2016, seeking preliminary information on the existence and context of definitions of the

terms "vessel" and "ships" under the internal laws of the member States.

To date, the following members have supplied responses to Questionnaire No. 1:

The Republic of the Marshall Romania Hong KongIslands

Turkey (but not the answer to Ireland Italythe questionnaire)

The Kingdom of the Netherlands Croatia China(the Netherlands, Aruba,Curacao, and Saint Maarten)

Brazil Denmark Poland

U.S.A. Malta

We have cajoled the NMLA's for further responses but to no avail. The responses to

date reveal a number of significant variations and anomalies in defining these terms

from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and widely different results in exercise of jurisdiction

over the same property from one jurisdiction to the next, particularly with respect to

property on the fringes of traditional "ships" or "vessels," such as offshore oil- and gas-

related floating equipment.

While the IWG would like to encourage additional responses to its First Questionnairefrom those NMLA's which have not yet replied, the IWG has begun to consider what isthe likely best use of the information that has to date been collected and compiled. In

that respect, the IWG proposes to convene as an IWG in Mexico City in September, 2019

to address this issue. The IWG hopes to be in a much better position to recommend to

the CMI how to proceed with the mandate of the IWG.

REPORT OF CMI IWG ON UNMANNED

SHIPS MARCH 2019

Since the last report the IVVE, to the Assembly we can report as follows:

During She CH Assembly meeting in London in November 2018 the IWG had a very

suc cessful meeting attended by many members and also representatives of IMO. The

meeting agreed to continue the group's close cooperation with IMO and to Carry On with

the work which the NG had been involved with 8n analysing the conventions.

2. Consideration was also given to the idea of studying the possibi l ity of developing an

overarching instrument which might deliver a straightforward framework for the regulation

of unmanned ships within the existing regulatory regime.

8. Members of the IWG provided input and assistance to Sir Bernard Eder in the preparation

of the Berlingieri lecture on Unmanned ships.

The IWG also hosted an International Sub-Committee Meeting after the Assembly

covering the topic "the Challenging Convergence of Modem Leer-melody, Cybercnme

and Marine Insurance" and was in cooperation with the Insurance E,L1h- committee and the

GybEr ricr Hie IWC. This was attended by about 250 people.

5. Members of the IWG have been l iaising with the Canada') delegation to iM0 which is

d riving the scoping exercise in the Legal Committee.

6. Members of the IWG attended the IMO MSC 100 meeting in December.

7. Members of the IWG attended the IMO LLG 106 in March and Robert Veal delivered a

paper on product l iabi l ity during one of the lunch breaks.

8. The HNC has retained the services of Sabina Dolic as Research Fellow to assist in its

research on regulations concerning unmanned shipping. In retaining Ms Dolic we have

been l iaising closely with IMO, and Ms Doric wi l l be based in the Knowledge Centre at

I MO's headquarters in London.

9. This wit he the first such cooperation between IMO and the C1\61 1 and is an important

doveloprnent in the relationship between the 2 organisations.

10. Ms Doric wi l l review the work already undertaken by the Working Group and continue that

work in relation to the Conventions under the purview of the MSC and Legal Committees

and other Conventions under the purview of the iMO.

IL She wi l l also give consideration to some of the Conventions which are not under the

purview of tne IMO such as the Hague Visby Rules, the Arrest Convention 1952, the Liens

and Mortgages Convention and the Col l ision Convention.

12. She wi l l also examine the possibi l ity of developing an overarching convention which might

cover al l Conventions and provide a framework for the regulation and operation of

unmanned ships within the cur rent international regime.

'Pc This CMI Research Fellowship wi l l last for 12 month . The CMI Charitable Trust has agreed

to fund this project to the extent of £20,000, and additional funding is being sought from

a number of international! maritime organbatoi is to enhance the val r me of the fellowship

Grant to F27,000.

Subject: RE: CI IWG / SC reports

Dear Evelien:

With apologies for the delay in providing our report, the Standing Committee on Marine Insurance (copied above)

reports as follows:

We have added three new members — Charles Fernandez (Canopius Syndicate, London),

Hernan Lopez Saavedra (Argentina) and Jonathan Spencer (independent average adjuster in

the U.S.). Regrettably, we have very recently accepted the resignation of one of our

longstanding members, Marc Huybrechts of Belgium. We thank Marc for his many

contributions over the years and wish him the best going forward.

I n March 2019, our committee member Rhidian Thomas completed the final version of his

paper, "THE IMPACT OF THE UK INSURANCE ACT 2015 ON ENGLISH MARINE INSURANCE LAW

AS CONTAINED IN THE MARINE INSURANCE ACT 1906 AND COMMON LAW, AND ITS

POTENTIAL INFLUENCE ON OTHER COMMON LAW JURISDICTIONS" (delivered at our meeting

i n London in November 2018).

We have also continued to discuss our next project, and have narrowed the scope to the

following potential subjects:

1. The impact of sanctions on insurance cover. This is a contemporary and topical subject

and more often than not the law is unclear and confused. The sanctions may emerge from

i nternational organisations such as the UN or regional organisations such as the EU or from

nation states, and may have a significant impact on international trade and other areas of

commerce and finance. The questions very often relate to the impact of this disruption on

existing insurance covers and to what extent does there exist special covers to protect against

these risks.

2. Direct rights of action against insurers. We have previously considered an aspect of this

topic relating to the soundness of the compulsory insurance cover, but are considering a

broader enquiry into the underpinning principles and practices. In light of the increasing

number of liability maritime conventions and associated compulsory insurance, this may be a

very relevant topic. It would involve an examination of the maritime convention regimes and a

comparison with the different national philosophies that might be identified with regard to

direct rights of action. What emerges could be helpful in the drafting of future liability

maritime conventions.

Finally, we are sponsoring a panel at the 2019 Colloquium on "Cybercrime and Marine

I nsurance Coverage Issues." The panel will be co-moderated by Joe Grasso and Juan Carlos

I attach the Report from the CMI Standing Committee on General Average Interest Rates. Despite its

rather general name, it only makes a recommendation to the CMI Assembly to fix (in advance) the rate of

i nterest to be applied under the (Vancouver) YAR 2004, which are rarely applied. See Rule XXI of the YAR

2004:

(b) Each year the Assembly of the Comite Maritime International shal l

decide the rate of interest which shal l apply. This rate shal l be used

for calculating interest accruing during the following calendar year.

Please look at the CMI London Agenda's to see how it should be tabled. And see also Rosalie's Assembly

Minutes. The end result in the CMI Assembly Mexico minutes should be something in the order of (but

please correct my English were needed):

Resolution: Decides that the interest rate applying under Rule XXI of the York Antwerp Rules 2004 for the

period 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020 shall be 2,75%.

Finally, please note that al l three members of the Standing Committee feel it is time for a new team. Bent

is 80 years old; Andrew is not sure how long he wi l l be able to commit to CMI. I myself am struggling with

the combination of the presidency of the Dutch MLA, the extra CMI tasks, and my day job. I should note

that if the other Standing Committee on General Average (now run by Jorn Groninger) manages to amend

the YAR 2004 (as suggested by Bent Nielsen in New York in 2016) to amend the YAR 2004 and include the

same interest rate provision as the YAR 2016, we could probably do away with the Standing Committee on

I nterest Rates. The earliest moment that could be done, would be Tokyo 2020 (because we need a

Conference for this I believe). Something to discuss in Mexico.

CMI STANDING COMMITTEE ON GENERAL AVERAGE INTEREST

RATES

Report to the CMI Assembly in Mexico City (2019)

Following the adoption of the York-Antwerp Rules 2004 by the CM1 Conference at

Vancouver in June 2004. including the provision in Rule XXI whereby the rate of

i nterest should be fixed 1.-)\ the Assembly of the CMI li-om year to year. a small

Standing Committee on General A\ et:age Interest Rates was appointed to investigate

the rates of interest applicable to moneys lent by a first class commercial bank to a

ship owner of good credit rating.

I n September 2010 under the chairmanship of Mr Bent Nielsen (Denmark) the

Standing Committee earned out an email review of this. The following took part:

Mr Bent Nielsen — in the chair

Mr Andrew Taylor

Mr Taco van der Valk— Rapporteur

As in previous years. the investigations by the Standing Committee proved again that

i n current conditions of the banking market a reasonable interest rate for a loan by a

first class commercial bank to a ship owner of good credit rating is very difficult to

ascertain as to day such ship Owners mainly use other sorts of financing. The interest

rate to be charged for providing working capital for one year may be very different to

an interest rate used for long term asset finance. Working capital in shipping is often

provided on the basis of Libor or Euribor (interbank) rates with an add-on to arrive at

the bank's Own lending rate. In practice. the percentage of the add-on will depend on

the hank and the ship owner. [he Guidelines given to the CMI Assembly by the CM1

Plenary in Vancouver 2004. however. limit the scope to the relationship between first

class commercial banks and ship owners of good credit rating.

'The information collected shows there have been relevant changes in interest rates

since 2018. Furthermore the rates of 12 months labor IJSD, EURO, GBP. and the 12

months Furibor are quite divergent. Having regard to the Vancouver Guidelines that

t he level of interest for one-year USD loans shal l he given particular consideration,

we now recommend that the rate of interest for the period 1 January 2020 -- 31 't

December 2020 should be 2,75%.

Report of the Standing Committee on Carriage of Goods (includingRotterdam Rules)

Introduction

International Working Group (IWG) on the Rotterdam Rules was reformed as Standing

Committee on Carriage of Goods (including Rotterdam Rules). The purpose of the

reformation is to expand the scope of its work to cover all issues relating to the carriage

of goods by sea while the Committee continues to monitor the promotion of the

Rotterdam Rules.

I. Current Status of the Rotterdam Rules

The situation of the Rotterdam Rules remains almost the same since 2018. Twenty-five

States have signed, and four have ratified, the Rotterdam Rules. Although it was reported

that the Netherlands has already prepared for domestic implementation, the instrument of

ratification has not been deposited.

2. Possible "Blockchain" Bills of Lading

(1) "Blockchain" Bills of Lading

The "blockchain" technology, which is the basis of virtual currency such as "bitcoin",

may be available to create a new type of electronic bills of lading. The "blockchain" can

guarantee the "uniqueness" of the digital data and may provide the basis of "token" type

of electronic bills of lading.

The blockchain technology may be used even more ambitious manner. There are several

experimental projects under way in several places of the world in which many trade

documents including custom documents, letters of credit and their accompanying

documents and others are digitalized and shared among the relevant parties.

(2) Blockchain Bills of Lading and the Rotterdam Rules

The relevant industries as well as some governments are interested in the "blockchain"

bills of lading. Rotterdam Rules is, at this stage, the only international convention which

includes the feasible rules on electronic bills of lading, they will look attractive. If the

system is well designed, such "blockchain" bills of lading will be regarded electronic

transport records under the Rotterdam Rules.

REPORT OF CMI PLANNING COMMITTEE

(3rd September 2019)

Committee Membership:

Rosalie BALKIN, Chair; Jose APOLO; Giorgio BERLINGIERI; Blythe DALY; Tomotaka FUJITA; In Hyeon

KIM; Dihuang SONG; Michael STURLEY; Edmund SWEETMAN.

Developments in London Nov 2018:

Apart from the Chair, three new members were appointed by ExCo (Nov 2018) namely: Giorgio

Berlingieri, Blythe Daly and Edmund Sweetman.

Due to the proliferation of meetings and lack of time, it was possible to hold only a very short

Planning Committee meeting in London where it was agreed that the report of the Future of CMI

Committee should be studied to see what aspects of that report might usefully be taken on board by

the Planning Committee. This work continues.

I n the absence of any documentation, many members of the Planning Committee (including the

Chair) were uncertain as to the terms of the Committee's mandate. This issue was briefly discussed

at ExCo London where the Committee was advised that it should concentrate on new topics which

might be usefully taken up by CMI.

Developments since London:

1) Staying within the mandate

While the ExCo advice may sound like a clear instruction, in practice the situation is more complex.

For example, would the mandate of the Planning Committee be limited to entirely new topics or

would it extend to making suggestions to other existing CMI IWGs and ISCs as to new

matters/avenues that they might pursue?

I n this connection, one of the suggestions put forward by a member of the Planning Committee is

that the IWG on Implementation and Promotion of Maritime Conventions might usefully carry out

an enquiry (by way of circulation of a questionnaire) on how maritime conventions have been

i mplemented by Contracting States. Do such suggestions constitute a valid approach on the part of

the Planning Committee?

2) Possible new avenues of pursuit for CMI

Other members of the Planning Committee have suggested that one new avenue of pursuit for CMI

might be develop a unified interpretation of COLREGS, given that its interpretation differs from state

to state. They had in mind, for example, whether vessels lying at sea would enjoy privilege or not,

given that vessels anchored or aground are only referred to in Rule 30 on Lights. This issue

continues to be under discussion in the Planning Committee

However, there is already in existence a COLREGS subgroup of the IWG on Polar Shipping, the goal of

which is to produce a working paper exploring the application of COLREGS in polar environments. If

a new IWG was to be established to develop a unified interpretation of COLREGS, can the two

comfortably co-exist? This issue, too, requires further discussion with the Planning Committee.

Other suggestions so far put forward for discussion in the Planning Committee concern:

(i) the role and position of the EU and the correct interplay between uniform international

maritime laws and EU law;

(ii) the vexed question of responder immunity and compensation for vessels conducting

government directed searches and rescues at sea; and

whether the definition of "distress" in SOLAS and SAR should be different in the context

of mass migration at sea. The latter issues might well "belong" to the IWG on Pandemic

Response at sea, although they have not yet been raised within that IWG.

Next Meeting of the Planning Committee:

The Planning Committee is scheduled to meet on the margins of the Mexico City Colloquium at 4.30

to 6pm on Monday 30th September in the Oaxaca Room I I.

Dear Christopher and Rosalie

J udicial Decisions on International Conventions

Herewith my report on the database for the upcoming meeting in October.

The Centre for Maritime Law (CML) and Comite Maritime International (CMI) signed an

Agreement to create the database, Judicial Decisions on International Conventions, on 2

January 2017 (to 3 January 2022). The database went live in March/Apri l 2017 and held on

servers located within the Faculty of Law at NUS. The relevant website links are via the Centre

for Maritime Law website at https://law.nus.edu.spicmIcmidatabase/ and via the link in the

CMI website at http://comitemaritime.org/publications-documents/database-ludgments/,

2. The editor of the database is Associate Professor Paul Myburgh, Deputy Director, working

with Ms Luci Carey, Research Associate, and in-house editor of the database,

3. We have been advised of national correspondents from 27 NMLAs (see updated l ist reported

at http://comitemaritime.orgipublications-documents/database-jucigments/),

4. In 2019, we have received case submissions from national correspondents as follows:

Australia (1); Denmark (3); France (8); Germany (2); Italy (1); Malta (2); Singapore (3).

5. Al l CMOs full-time and adjunct research staff are engaged in digesting cases for the database,

with 90% of the cases from CML. Since the launch date, over 491 cases have been digested

and are accessible on the database. We expect that, by the time of the October meeting in

Mexico City, we wi l l have digested 500 cases, from just shy of 50 jurisdictions.

6. The website statistics are as follows: (i) 700-800 visitors per month, 950 to over 1000 sessions

(i.e. separate cases read) per month; (i i) top 10 countries visiting over last 3 months (with a

noticeable increase in traffic from China, the USA, and Japan): Singapore; India; China; UK;

Australia; USA; Japan; South Africa; Hong Kong; Malaysia.

As in past letters, we continue to urge CMI to assist us in promoting the database among NMLAs

a nd encouraging greater buy-in submitting cases from those NMLAs who have nominated

national correspondents.

If you have any queries on the database, I would be happy to provide answers where I have them.

Yours sincerely

Subject: CMI Mexico City Assembly: report on CMI Asia office

Dear Chris

Herewith, my report on the CMI office in Asia:

The CMI's office in Asia was set up in Singapore in Apri l 2013 in the form of a representative office registered inSingapore. CMI's application was supported by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore who viewed thesetting up by the CMI of a Singapore office as a contribution to the maritime cluster in Singapore. Ordinarily,representative offices are allowed an initial status of 3-years, after which the status would be discontinued toencourage the principal to register a ful l branch in Singapore or incorporate a subsidiary. At the 3-year point in2015, CMI was able to persuade the Singapore authorities, exceptionally, to continue its status as arepresentative office on the ground that it is a not-for-profit organisation whose continued status as arepresentative office contributes to the maritime cluster in Singapore. Since then, the representative office status

has been renewed in 2016, 2017, 2018, and most recently in 2019.

The Singapore office is run on a very low-cost basis. The chief representative of the Singapore office is the

Administrator of the CMI, who is based in Singapore, and the registered address of the Singapore office is his

office premises. The cost to the CMI of running the Singapore office comprises the modest legal fees incurred in

renewing the representative office status of the Singapore office and the reimbursing of the Administrator for one

hotel night's stay and incidentals when he travels to Asian countries for work and extends his stay to visiting

MLAs or, where the Asian country has no NMLA, to visit maritime lawyers in these countries who might be

i nterested in creating an NMLA.

The Singapore office serves the purpose of keeping the CMI in close contact with Asian MLAs and with Asian

shipping. Part of the work assigned to the Administrator by past-President Hetherington and continued by

current-President Davis is Asian outreach. Over the last 6V, years, the Singapore office has maintained ties with

a l l Asian MLA, including the MLAs of China, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia,

the Phi lippines and India and the benefits of doing so are outlines below.

The Singapore office has led the CMI effort to bring a newly-formed Malaysian MLA back as a member of the

CMI, after the old MLA was expelled by the CMI for subscription arrears.

5. It is working on the possibi l ity that there may be a United Arab Emirates MLA in the near future.

I t was actively involved in successful negotiations between CMI and the Korean MLA regarding settlement of

subscription arrears.

I t led the successful negotiations between CMI and the Philippine MLA regarding settlement of subscription

arrears.

I t played a part in getting the draft Convention for the recognition and enforcement of judicial sale orders, adoptedby the Assembly in Hamburg 2014 on the UNCITRAL work programme, after CMI was unsuccessful inpersuading the IMO to work on it. Part of the reason why CMI was able to do so was the Singapore officepersuading the Singapore authorities that its delegation to UNCITRAL should speak up on support of theU NCITRAL accepting work on the draft Convention and also encouraging India to speak in support. This is thenext international maritime instrument that the CMI hopes wil l evolve into a convention and is a major item of CMIbusiness. In the run up to the first UNCITRAL working session in New York 2019 on the draft Convention, theSingapore office was able to assist the CMI to co-ordinate streamlined positive representations from China, SouthKorea, Japan, India and Singapore. I am also in touch with Malaysia and Indonesia and looking to see if they toow i l l speak in support.

The Singapore office is also actively working on the Tokyo conference in 2020 and meets periodically with theJapanese MLA host committee to advise them on their plans for the conference.

10. The Singapore office represents the CMI in its joint venture with the Centre for Maritime Law of the NationalU niversity of Singapore to build an electronic database of judicial decisions on international maritimeconventions. Reference is made to the report on the database that wil l be available at the CMI Assembly inMexico City.

COMITE MARITIME INTERNATIONALCHAIR OF THE NOMINATING COMMI FILE

Report of the Nominating Committee7 August 2019

Pursuant to the provisions of Article 26 of the CMI Constitution, I wrote, as Chair of theNominating Committee (the Committee), to all Member Associations (NMLAs) on 18 June2019, advising that the term of the Administrator, Laurence Teh, was coming to an end. Ialso advised that the first and second terms respectively of Executive Councillors, JohnO'Connor and Alexander von Zegler, were also coming to an end but that Laurence Teh waswilling to serve a further term and John O'Connor was willing to serve a second term. I alsoadvised that I was satisfied, on the basis of statements from them, that both were suitable forre-election. Finally, I asked that the NMLAs propose candidates for nomination for the onevacant position of Executive Councillor or for any other Officer. As a result, the following twocandidates were proposed as an Executive Councillor:

1. Paula Backden (Swedish Maritime Law Association).

2. Eduardo Albors (Spanish Maritime Law Association).

I wrote to NMLAs again on 8 July 2019 to solicit the NMLAs' views concerning the re-election of Laurence Teh and John O'Connor and the two candidates proposed for electionto the vacant position on the Executive Council.

The Committee has received a reply from the NMLAs of the following countries:

China, Colombia, Denmark, Ecuador, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Mexico, Spain, Sweden,United Kingdom, United States of America and Venezuela.

There has been unanimous support for the re-election of Laurence Teh as Administrator andJohn O'Connor as Executive Councillor.

With respect to the vacant position of Executive Councillor, four of the NMLAs supportedPaula Backden and ten Eduardo Albors.

The role of the Committee is to provide guidance to the NMLAs who will vote at the GeneralAssembly, and to nominate the candidates whose election would, on balance and in theCommittee's view, be in the best interests of the CMI. This is never an easy task, especiallywhen the candidates are well qualified.

The nomination is made taking into account the requirements of Article 21 of theConstitution, which provides that: "Executive Councillors shall be elected upon individualmerit, also having due regard to balanced representation of the legal systems and thegeographical areas of the world characterised by the Member Associations".

Having carefully considered the experience and contribution of the two candidates, theCommittee has decided to nominate Eduardo Albors for the vacant position of ExecutiveCouncillor. Not only has he received a clear majority of the support from the NMLAs, whichis not decisive when taken in isolation, but his election does not change the balancedgeographical representation on the Executive Council.

Accordingly the Nomination Committee nominates:

1. Laurence Teh for Administrator.

2. John O'Connor for re-election as Executive Councillor

3. Eduardo Albors to fill the vacant position as Executive Councillor.
