 (b) if the Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims, 1976, as amended by the 1996 Protocol, applies to the ship—the total of the limits of liability, for the ship, for each kind of claims under that Convention, as it has effect for Australia under the Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims Act 1989.
