Podział wynagrodzenia za ratownictwo morskie pomiędzy armatora i załogę statku
Division of the remuneration for rescue at sea between the ship owner and the ships's crew

Summary/Abstract: The issue of the division of remuneration for maritime salvage between the ship owner and the ship’s crew caused difficulties even in the light of the provisions of the Maritime Code of 1961. The doubts remain valid after the entry into force of the new Maritime Code of 2001, as well as new problems have arisen since then. For example, the nature of the legal claims of the crew to take part in the division of the remuneration for maritime salvage is still unclear. Under the previous legislation many issues were explained in the Regulation of the Minister of Shipping of 1964, which was issued under the Code of 1961. The new Maritime Code does not provide for issuing an implementing regulation. This situation puts the crew members who would like to pursue their claims in court in a difficult position. The ongoing works of the Codification Commission on the proposal of a new Maritime Code are a great opportunity for the appropriate regulation of the problems discussed in the article.
