Unless otherwise provided in this Section, the provisions of Section I of this Chapter apply mutatis mutandis to the carriage of passengers.

There shall subscribe an accident insurance for transporting the passengers in the specific navigation routes and area; the passenger ticket shall state the amount insured and constitute part of the contact; the insurance premium shall be included in the ticket fare, and the amount insured shall be deemed as the highest amount of the damages.
The terms “specific navigation routes and areas” and “amount insured” referred to in the preceding paragraph are to be decided by the Ministry of Communications and Transportation.

In the event the passenger subscribes an accident insurance policy for himself in addition to the policy referred to in the preceding article, the measure of damages is to be in accordance with such agreement provided that such agreement shall be made in writing.

The carrier or shipmaster shall, comply with the tenor of the passenger ticket, transport the passenger to the port of destination.
Where the carrier or shipmaster is in breach of the provision in the preceding paragraph, the passenger may rescind the contract and may also claim for damages, if any.

Prior to twenty-four hours before the commencement of the voyage, the passenger may rescind the contract upon payment of two-tenths of the ticket fare; If, prior to the commencement of the voyage, the passenger has become incapable of making or refusing the embarkation because of death, illness or other personal affections beyond control, the carrier may demand one-tenth of the ticket fare.

If the passenger does not come on board by the time fixed for embarkation or during the voyage or is ordered to leave the ship by the shipmaster acting within his authority for taking emergency action, the passenger shall nevertheless pay the full amount of the ticket fare.

The passenger may rescind the contract where the ship fails to commence the voyage on the scheduled date.

Where the passenger, by his/her accord, disembarks the ship during the voyage, the passenger shall bear the full amount of the ticket fare. Where the disembarkation is due to illness or death, the passenger shall only pay a part of the ticket fare in the same proportion as the distance already covered bears to the whole voyage.

Where the ship is unable to continue the voyage due to force majeure, the carrier or shipmaster shall still endeavour to carry the passenger to the port of destination.

Where the ship is unable to enter the port of destination for disembarking the passenger due to an act of God, war or disturbances, epidemic or any extraordinary events at that port, the carrier or shipmaster shall be liable, at the option of passenger, to send the passenger to the nearest port or back to the original port of embarkation.

If the ship has to be repaired during the voyage, the carrier or shipmaster shall still complete the voyage with another ship of the same class, and furnish adequate lodging and provisions for passenger during the period of waiting without extra payment.

The passenger, while the ship arrives the port of destination, is obliged to obey the directions of the shipmaster for leaving the ship.
