Pri obravnavanju plovbnih nezgod se pogodbenici ravnata po načelih, določenih v določbah Mednarodne pomorske organizacije, ki sta jih sprejeli pogodbenici. 2. Pristojni organi pogodbenice, na območju katere je ladja druge pogodbenice doživela nezgodo ali ji je grozila kakšna druga nevarnost iz prvega odstavka tega člena, o tem čim prej uradno obvestijo najbližji konzularni urad države druge pogodbenice. 3.
