Cap. 234 Art. 360Rulesastodivision of loss.

(1) Where by the fault of two or more vessels damage or loss is caused to one or more of those vessels, their cargoes or freight, or to any property on board, the liability to make good the damage or loss shall be in proportion to the degree in which each vessel was in fault: Provided that if, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, it is not possible to establish different degrees of fault, the liability shall be apportioned equally.

(2) Nothing in this article shall operate so as to render any vessel liable for any loss or damage to which her fault has not contributed, or shall affect the liability of any person under a contract of carriage or any contract, or shall be construed as imposing any liability upon any person from which he is exempted by any contract or by any provision of law, or as affecting the right of any person to limit his liability in the manner provided by law.
