Where the obligations mentioned in Article III, number 4, arise out of disbursements made or personal engagements contracted by the master, they are preferred to other obligations mentioned in this provision. ARTICLE V. If the obligations do not relate to the same voyage, the liens for the obligations of a later voyage are preferred to the obligations of an earlier voyage. ARTICLE VI. The lien is extinguished at the expiration of two years from the creation of the obligation. For obligations mentioned in Article III, number 2, this period of prescription is one year. This period runs from the day when the service terminated. Causes of suspension and interruption of this period of prescription are determined by the lex fori. The High Contracting Parties reserve the right to allow in their legislation, as a cause for suspending the time heretofore fixed, the fact that the defendant ship could not be seized within the territorial waters in which the plaintiff has his domicile or principal place of business. ARTICLE VII. The lien on the hire or freight may be exercised so long as the hire or freight is in the hands of the freighter, loader, consignee, master, or any other third person. It is extinguished when freight is encashed by the owner personally. ARTICLE VIII. The liens established by the preceding provisions are subject to no formality and to no special condition of proof. ARTICLE IX. The foregoing provisions are applicable to ships managed or employed by persons other than their owner except when the owner has been dispossessed by an illicit act and when, besides, the creditor is not a bona fide creditor. ARTICLE X. The accessories mentioned in Article III are: 1. Indemnities paid or due to the owner of the vessel for general average in so far as they make good either material damage suffered by the vessel and not repaired or losses of freight. 2. Indemnities paid or due for repairing losses, whether they are losses sustained by the vessel and not repaired or losses of freight. 3. Sums paid or due to the owner of the vessel for assistance or salvage, deducting sums awarded to the master or crew. Indemnities due or paid by virtue of contracts of insurance, premiums, subventions, or other national subsidies are not considered accessories of the vessel. ARTICLE XI. The provisions of the present convention shall be applied in each contracting State when one of the parties interested belongs to another contracting State, as well as in the other cases provided in the national laws. But the principle formulated in the foregoing paragraph does not affect the right of the contracting State not to apply the provisions of the present convention in favor of persons belonging to a noncontracting State. ARTICLE XII. The present convention does not apply to vessels of state. Agreements: See Treaties. termination of commercial.
