17. Necessary Deviation

(a) If the Tug during the course of the towage or other service under this greement puts into a port or place or seeks shelter or is detained or deviates from the original route as set out in Box 23, or slow steams because either the Tugowner or Tugmaster reasonably consider

(i) that the Tow is not fit to be towed or

(ii) the Tow is incapable of being towed at the original speed contemplated by the Tugowner or

(iii) the towing connection requires rearrangement, or

(iv) repairs or alterations to or additional equipment for the Tow are required to safeguard the venture and enable the Tow to be towed to destination, or

(v) it would not be prudent to do otherwise on account of weather conditions actual or forecast, or

because of any other good and valid reason outside the control of the Tugowner or Tugmaster, or because of any delay caused by or at the request of the Hirer, this greement shall remain in full force and effect, and the Tugowner shall be entitled to receive from the Hirer additional compensation at the appropriate Delay Payment rate as set out in Box 29 for all time spent in such port or place and for all time spent by the Tug at sea in excess of the time which would have been spent had such slow steaming or deviation not taken place.

(b) The Tug shall at all times be at liberty to go to the assistance of any vessel in distress for the purpose of saving life or property or to call at any port or place for bunkers, repairs, supplies, or any other necessaries or to land disabled seamen, but if towing the Tug shall leave the Tow in a safe place and during such period this greement shall remain in full force and effect.

(d) ny deviation howsoever or whatsoever by the Tug or by the Tugowner not expressly permitted by the terms and conditions of this greement shall not amount to a repudiation of this greement and the greement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such deviation.

17. 必要的绕航

(a)在执行本合同拖航或其他服务的过程中，由于拖轮船东或拖轮船长合理地认为：

(1)被拖物不适拖，或

(2)被拖物不能在拖轮船东原定的航速下拖航，或

(3)拖索需要重新调整，或

(4)为了保护拖航的安全和能使被拖物被拖到目的地，需对被拖物进行修理、改装或增加设备，或

(5)由于实际或预报的气象状况，而不宜冒险采取其他做法，或由于拖轮船东或拖轮船长不能控制的其他充分和正当的理由；或是由于租用人造成或要求的任何延误，拖轮挂靠港口或地点、或寻求避风处所、或被留置、或绕离第23栏规定的远航线或者减速航行，本合同应保持全部有效。拖轮船东有权按第29栏规定的相应延时付款费率向租用人收取停留在这些港口、地点的全部时间和拖轮比发生该项减速航行或绕航在海上多耗费的全部时间的额外补偿费用。

(b)拖轮随时有权为了救助人命和财产而赴援任何遇难船舶，或为了加油、修理、补充供应品或者送伤病员上岸而停靠在任何港口或地点，但如在拖航过程中，则拖轮应先将被拖物留在安全地点，在此期间本合同应保持完全有效。

(c)拖轮在起航、到达、航线、挂靠港、中止、目的港、交付、征用或任何其他方面，有遵守拖轮或被拖物船旗国政府或其有关部门的任何命令和指示的自由权，或遵照作为或声称作为由该政府或委员会指定的有关部门授权工作的人员或根据拖轮战争保险条款有权作出该项命令和指示的人员所作出的命令和指示。如果因为和遵照该项命令或指示做过或未做任何事情，都不认为是绕航，根据该项命令或指示进行交付即被认为是完成了本合同，从而应将承包费以及一切其他款项付给拖轮船东。

(d)无论何种原因由拖轮或拖轮船东造成的任何绕航，虽然在本合同的条款中没有明确的允许，但都不应构成对本合同的违反，而且虽有此项绕航，本合同也应保持全部有效。
