9. If the salvor, performing the salvage operations in respect of the vessel which by itself or her cargo threatened pollution damage to the environment, has failed to earn a reward under Clause 7 of this Contract at least equivalent to the special compensation assessable in accordance with this Clause, he shall be entitled to special compensation from the owner of the vessel equivalent to his expenses as herein defined.
 
救助方进行前款规定的救助，取得防止或减少环境污染损害效果的，船舶所有人依照前款规定应向救助方支付的特别补偿，可以另行增加，增加的数额可以达到救助费用的百分之三十。如果根据本合同第十五条组成的仲裁庭组成认为适当，并且考虑本合同第七条第一款规定的各项因素，可以裁决进一步增加特别补偿，但在任何情况下，增加部分的总数额不得超过救助费用的百分之一百。
If the salvor, performing the salvage operations prescribed in the preceding Paragraph, has prevented or minimized pollution damage to the environment, the special compensation payable by the owner to the salvor under the preceding Paragraph may be increased by an amount up to a maximum of 30% of the expenses incurred for the salvage. The arbitration tribunal formed in accordance with Clause 15 of this Contract may, if it deems fair and just and taking into consideration the various factors defined in Paragraph 1 of Clause 7 of this Contract, increase such special compensation further, but in no event shall the total increase be more than 100% of the expenses incurred for the salvage.

在任何情况下，本条规定的全部特别补偿，只有超过救助方依照本合同第七条规定能够获得的救助报酬时，方可支付，支付金额为特别补偿超过救助报酬的差额部分。
Under all circumstances, the total special compensation defined in this Clause shall be paid only if such compensation is greater than the reward recoverable by the salvor under Clause 7 of this Contract, and the amount to be paid shall be the difference between the special compensation and the reward.
由于救助方的过失未能防止或减少环境污染损害的，可以全部或部分地剥夺救助方获得特别补偿的权利。
If the salvor has failed, due to his negligence, to prevent or minimize the pollution damage to the environment, he may be totally or partly deprived of the right to the special compensation.
 
第十条 为了保全救助方应得的救助报酬，在救助作业结束后，被救助方应根据救助方的要求，在十四个银行工作日内（法定节假日除外）提供满意的担保。
10. In order to secure the remuneration to which the salvor is entitled, the owner of the salved property shall, after the completion of the salvage operations, provide satisfactory security at the request of the salvor within 14 bank working days (except holiday and Sunday).
 
船舶所有人及其雇佣人、代理人应在获救的货物交还前，尽力使货物所有人对其应承担的救助报酬提供满意的担保。
The owner of the vessel, their servants and agents shall, before the release of the cargo, make best endeavor to cause the owners of the cargo salved to provide satisfactory security for their proportion of their salvage reward.
 
在按本条第一款规定提供担保以前，未经救助方书面同意，不得将获救船舶和其他财产从救助作业完成后最初抵达的港口或地点移走。如果救助方有理由认为被救助方将要违反或企图违反本款规定，有权申请采取财产保全措施。
Without the consent in writing of the salvor, the vessel or other property salved shall not be removed from the port or place at which they first arrived after the completion of the salvage operations, until satisfactory security prescribed in Paragraphs (1) of this Clause has been provided.
