最近，伦敦海事仲裁委员会仲裁庭针对一起装卸工人损害案件做出了重要而且让人意外的裁决，该裁决结果(London Arbitration 18/13 (2013) 889 LMLN 4)对租船业有潜在而深远的影响。
如果租家以前采用的装卸工人损害条款规定，装卸工是船东的雇员，被保险人(租家)不应就装卸工的疏忽承担责任，那么现在被保险人(租家)应该考虑修改该条款的措辞了。本文最后的案例总结，给出了推荐的措辞，以协助被保险人(租家)保护自己的利益。
作为被保险人的船舶经营人，在需要承担装卸工人行为导致的风险的情况下，也需要重视本裁决 。

London Arbitration: Responsibility for Incompetent Stevedores
A significant and surprising Award has been published by an LMAA Tribunal recently concerning stevedore damage. London Arbitration 18/13 (2013) 889 LMLN 4 has potentially far reaching consequences for the chartering community.
Assureds should consider amending their stevedore damage clauses where stevedores are Owners servants and the assured (as Charterers) are excluded from liability for the negligence of stevedores. Some suggested wording appears at the end of the case summary to assist the assured as Charterers.
The Award is also of note to assured as operators where they have assumed the risk of stevedore actions.
