(1) TIME RISKS

1/10/83

INSTITUTE TIME CLAUSES
HULLS

 

This insurance is subject to English law and practice

 

1    NAVIGATION

1.1      The Vessel is covered subject to the provisions of this insurance at all times and has leave to sail or navigate with

or without pilots, to go on trial trips and to assist and tow vessels or craft in distress, but it is warranted that the
Vessel shall not be towed, except as is customary or to the first safe port or place when in need of assistance, or
undertake towage or salvage services under a contract previously arranged by the Assured and/or Owners and/or
Managers and/or Charterers. This Clause 1.1 shall not exclude customary towage in connection with loading and
discharging.

1.2      In the event of the Vessel being employed in trading operations which entail cargo loading or discharging at sea

from or into another vessel (not being a harbour or inshore craft) no claim shall be recoverable under this insurance for loss of or damage to the Vessel or liability to any other vessel arising from such loading or discharging operations, including whilst approaching, lying alongside and leaving, unless previous notice that the Vessel is to be employed in such operations has been given to the Underwriters and any amended terms of cover and any additional premium required by them have been agreed.

1.3      In the event of the Vessel sailing (with or without cargo) with an intention of being (a) broken up, or (b) sold for

breaking up, any claim for loss of or damage to the Vessel occurring subsequent to such sailing shall be limited
to the market value of the Vessel as scrap at the time when the loss or damage is sustained, unless previous notice
has been given to the Underwriters and any amendments to the terms of cover, insured value and premium
required by them have been agreed. Nothing in this Clause 1.3 shall affect claims under Clauses 8 and/or 11.

 

2   CONTINUATION

Should the Vessel at the expiration of this insurance be at sea or in distress or at a port of refuge or of call, she shall,
provided previous notice be given to the Underwriters, be held covered at a pro rata monthly premium to her port of
destination.

 

3   BREACH OF WARRANTY

Held covered in case of any breach of warranty as to cargo, trade, locality, towage, salvage services or date of sailing, provided notice be given to the Underwriters immediately after receipt of advices and any amended terms of cover and any additional premium required by them be agreed.

 

4   TERMINATION

This Clause 4 shall prevail notwithstanding any provision whether written typed or printed in this insurance inconsistent
therewith.

Unless the Underwriters agree to the contrary in writing, this insurance shall terminate automatically at the time of

4.1      change of the Classification Society of the Vessel, or change, suspension, discontinuance, withdrawal or expiry

of her Class therein, provided that if the Vessel is at sea such automatic termination shall be deferred until arrival
at her next port. However where such change, suspension, discontinuance or withdrawal of her Class has resulted
from loss or damage covered by Clause 6 of this insurance or which would be covered by an insurance of the

Vessel subject to current Institute War and Strikes Clauses Hulls-Time such automatic termination shall only operate should the Vessel sail from her next port without the prior approval of the Classification Society,

4.2      any change, voluntary or otherwise, in the ownership or flag, transfer to new management, or charter on a

bareboat basis, or requisition for title or use of the Vessel, provided that, if the Vessel has cargo on board and has
already sailed from her loading port or is at sea in ballast, such automatic termination shall if required be
deferred, whilst the Vessel continues her planned voyage, until arrival at final port of discharge if with cargo or

 

1


at port of destination if in ballast. However, in the event of requisition for title or use without the prior execution of a written agreement by the Assured, such automatic termination shall occur fifteen days after such requisition whether the Vessel is at sea or in port.

 

A pro rata daily net return of premium shall be made.

 

5   ASSIGNMENT

No assignment of or interest in this insurance or in any moneys which may be or become payable thereunder is to be binding on or recognised by the Underwriters unless a dated notice of such assignment or interest signed by the Assured, and by the assignor in the case of subsequent assignment, is endorsed on the Policy and the Policy with such endorsement is produced before payment of any claim or return of premium thereunder.

 

6   PERILS

6.2.2         bursting of boilers breakage of shafts or any latent defect in the machinery or hull

6.2.3         negligence of Master Officers Crew or Pilots

6.2.4         negligence of repairers or charterers provided such repairers or charterers are not an Assured hereunder

6.2.5         barratry of Master Officers or Crew,

provided such loss or damage has not resulted from want of due diligence by the Assured, Owners or
Managers.

6.3      Master Officers Crew or Pilots not to be considered Owners within the meaning of this Clause 6 should they

hold shares in the Vessel.

 

7   POLLUTION HAZARD

This insurance covers loss of or damage to the Vessel caused by any governmental authority acting under the powers
vested in it to prevent or mitigate a pollution hazard, or threat thereof, resulting directly from damage to the Vessel for
which the Underwriters are liable under this insurance, provided such act of governmental authority has not resulted
from want of due diligence by the Assured, the Owners, or Managers of the Vessel or any of them to prevent or mitigate
such hazard or threat. Master, Officers, Crew or Pilots not to be considered Owners within the meaning of this Clause

7 should they hold shares in the Vessel.

 

8   3/4THS COLLISION LIABILITY

8.1      The Underwriters agree to indemnify the Assured for three-fourths of any sum or sums paid by the Assured to

any other person or persons by reason of the Assured becoming legally liable by way of damages for

8.1.1         loss of or damage to any other vessel or property on any other vessel

8.1.2         delay to or loss of use of any such other vessel or property thereon

8.1.3         general average of, salvage of, or salvage under contract of, any such other vessel or property thereon, where

such payment by the Assured is in consequence of the Vessel hereby insured coming into collision with any other vessel.

 

2


8.2      The indemnity provided by this Clause 8 shall be in addition to the indemnity provided by the other terms and

conditions of this insurance and shall be subject to the following provisions:

8.2.1         Where the insured Vessel is in collision with another vessel and both vessels are to blame then, unless the

liability of one or both vessels becomes limited by law, the indemnity under this Clause 8 shall be calculated on the principle of cross-liabilities as if the respective Owners had been compelled to pay to each other such proportion of each other’s damages as may have been properly allowed in ascertaining the balance or sum payable by or to the Assured in consequence of the collision.

8.2.2         In no case shall the Underwriters’ total liability under Clauses 8.1 and 8.2 exceed their proportionate part of

three-fourths of the insured value of the Vessel hereby insured in respect of any one collision.

8.3      The Underwriters will also pay three-fourths of the legal costs incurred by the Assured or which the Assured

may be compelled to pay in contesting liability or taking proceedings to limit liability, with the prior written consent of the Underwriters.

 

EXCLUSIONS

8.4      Provided always that this Clause 8 shall in no case extend to any sum which the Assured shall pay for or in

respect of

8.4.1         removal or disposal of obstructions, wrecks, cargoes or any other thing whatsoever

8.4.2         any real or personal property or thing whatsoever except other vessels or property on other vessels

8.4.3         the cargo or other property on, or the engagements of, the insured Vessel

8.4.4         loss of life, personal injury or illness

8.4.5         pollution or contamination of any real or personal property or thing whatsoever (except other vessels with

which the insured Vessel is in collision or property on such other vessels).

 

9   SISTERSHIP

Should the Vessel hereby insured come into collision with or receive salvage services from another vessel belonging wholly or in part to the same Owners or under the same management, the Assured shall have the same rights under this insurance as they would have were the other vessel entirely the property of Owners not interested in the Vessel hereby insured; but in such cases the liability for the collision or the amount payable for the services rendered shall be referred to a sole arbitrator to be agreed upon between the Underwriters and the Assured.

 

10 NOTICE OF CLAIM AND TENDERS

10.1    In the event of accident whereby loss or damage may result in a claim under this insurance, notice shall be given

to the Underwriters prior to survey and also, if the Vessel is abroad, to the nearest Agent* so that a surveyor may be appointed to represent the Underwriters should they so desire.

10.2    The Underwriters shall be entitled to decide the port to which the Vessel shall proceed for docking or repair (the

actual additional expense of the voyage arising from compliance with the Underwriters’ requirements being refunded to the Assured) and shall have a right of veto concerning a place of repair or a repairing firm.

10.3    The Underwriters may also take tenders or may require further tenders to be taken for the repair of the Vessel.

Where such a tender has been taken and a tender is accepted with the approval of the Underwriters, an allowance shall be made at the rate of 30% per annum on the insured value for time lost between the despatch of the invitations to tender required by Underwriters and the acceptance of a tender to the extent that such time is lost solely as the result of tenders having been taken and provided that the tender is accepted without delay after receipt of the Underwriters’ approval.

Due credit shall be given against the allowance as above for any amounts recovered in respect of fuel and stores and wages and maintenance of the Master Officers and Crew or any member thereof, including amounts allowed in general average, and for any amounts recovered from third parties in respect of damages for detention and/or loss of profit and/or running expenses, for the period covered by the tender allowance or any part thereof.
Where a part of the cost of the repair of damage other than a fixed deductible is not recoverable from the Underwriters the allowance shall be reduced by a similar proportion.

10.4    In the event of failure to comply with the conditions of this Clause 10 a deduction of 15% shall be made from

 

3


the amount of the ascertained claim.

 

11 GENERAL AVERAGE AND SALVAGE

11.1   This insurance covers the Vessel’s proportion of salvage, salvage charges and/or general average, reduced in
           respect of any under-insurance, but in case of general average sacrifice of the Vessel the Assured may recover in

respect of the whole loss without first enforcing their right of contribution from other parties.

11.2   Adjustment to be according to the law and practice obtaining at the place where the adventure ends, as if the
           contract of affreightment contained no special terms upon the subject; but where the contract of affreightment

so provides the adjustment shall be according to the York-Antwerp Rules.

11.3   When the Vessel sails in ballast, not under charter, the provisions of the York-Antwerp Rules, 1974 (excluding
           Rules XX and XXI) shall be applicable, and the voyage for this purpose shall be deemed to continue from the

port or place of departure until the arrival of the Vessel at the first port or place thereafter other than a port or
place of refuge or a port or place of call for bunkering only. If at any such intermediate port or place there is an
abandonment of the adventure originally contemplated the voyage shall thereupon be deemed to be terminated.

11.4   No claim under this Clause 11 shall in any case be allowed where the loss was not incurred to avoid or in
           connection with the avoidance of a peril insured against.

 

12 DEDUCTIBLE

12.1    No claim arising from a peril insured against shall be payable under this insurance unless the aggregate of all

such claims arising out of each separate accident or occurrence (including claims under Clauses 8, 11 and 13)

exceeds                             (as specified in the POLICY)                   in which case this sum shall be deducted.

Nevertheless the expense of sighting the bottom after stranding, if reasonably incurred specially for that purpose, shall be paid even if no damage be found. This Clause 12.1 shall not apply to a claim for total or constructive total loss of the Vessel or, in the event of such a claim, to any associated claim under Clause 13 arising from the same accident or occurrence.

12.2    Claims for damage by heavy weather occurring during a single sea passage between two successive ports shall

be treated as being due to one accident. In the case of such heavy weather extending over a period not wholly covered by this insurance the deductible to be applied to the claim recoverable hereunder shall be the proportion of the above deductible that the number of days of such heavy weather falling within the period of this insurance bears to the number of days of heavy weather during the single sea passage. The expression “heavy weather” in this Clause 12.2 shall be deemed to include contact with floating ice.

12.3    Excluding any interest comprised therein, recoveries against any claim which is subject to the above deductible

shall be credited to the Underwriters in full to the extent of the sum by which the aggregate of the claim unreduced by any recoveries exceeds the above deductible.

12.4    Interest comprised in recoveries shall be apportioned between the Assured and the Underwriters, taking into

account the sums paid by the Underwriters and the dates when such payments were made, notwithstanding that by the addition of interest the Underwriters may receive a larger sum than they have paid.

 

13 DUTY OF ASSURED(SUE AND LABOUR)

13.1   In case of any loss or misfortune it is the duty of the Assured and their servants and agents to take such measures
           as may be reasonable for the purpose of averting or minimising a loss which would be recoverable under this

insurance.

13.2   Subject to the provisions below and to Clause 12 the Underwriters will contribute to charges properly and
           reasonably incurred by the Assured their servants or agents for such measures. General average, salvage charges

(except as provided for in Clause 13.5) and collision defence or attack costs are not recoverable under this Clause

13.

13.3   Measures taken by the Assured or the Underwriters with the object of saving, protecting or recovering the
           subject-matter insured shall not be considered as a waiver or acceptance of abandonment or otherwise prejudice

the rights of either party.

13.4   When expenses are incurred pursuant to this Clause 13 the liability under this insurance shall not exceed the

 

4


proportion of such expenses that the amount insured hereunder bears to the value of the Vessel as stated herein,
or to the sound value of the Vessel at the time of the occurrence giving rise to the expenditure if the sound value
exceeds that value. Where the Underwriters have admitted a claim for total loss and property insured by this
insurance is saved, the foregoing provisions shall not apply unless the expenses of suing and labouring exceed

9.2      No claim for constructive total loss based upon the cost of recovery and/or repair of the Vessel shall be

recoverable hereunder unless such cost would exceed the insured value in the insurances on hull and machinery. In making this determination, only the cost relating to a single accident or sequence of damages arising from the same accident shall be taken into account.

conditions of this insurance and shall be subject to the following provisions:

8.2.1         Where the insured Vessel is in collision with another vessel and both vessels are to blame then, unless the

10 NOTICE OF CLAIM AND TENDERS

10.1   In the event of accident whereby loss or damage may result in a claim under this insurance, notice shall be given
           to the Underwriters prior to survey and also, if the Vessel is abroad, to the nearest Lloyd’s Agent*5 so that a

surveyor may be appointed to represent the Underwriters should they so desire.

10.2   The Underwriters shall be entitled to decide the port to which the Vessel shall proceed for docking or repair (the
           actual additional expense of the voyage arising from compliance with the Underwriters’ requirements being

refunded to the Assured) and shall have a right of veto concerning a place of repair or a repairing firm.

10.3   The Underwriters may also take tenders or may require further tenders to be taken for the repair of the Vessel.
           Where such a tender has been taken and a tender is accepted with the approval of the Underwriters, an allowance

shall be made at the rate of 30% per annum on the insured value for time lost between the despatch of the
invitations to tender required by Underwriters and the acceptance of a tender to the extent that such time is lost
solely as the result of tenders having been taken and provided that the tender is accepted without delay after

 

15


receipt of the Underwriters’ approval.

Due credit shall be given against the allowance as above for any amounts recovered in respect of fuel and stores and wages and maintenance of the Master Officers and Crew or any member thereof, including amounts allowed in general average, and for any amounts recovered from third parties in respect of damages for detention and/or loss of profit and/or running expenses, for the period covered by the tender allowance or any part thereof.
Where a part of the cost of the repair of damage other than a fixed deductible is not recoverable from the Underwriters the allowance shall be reduced by a similar proportion.

10.4   In the event of failure to comply with the conditions of this Clause 10 a deduction of 15% shall be made from
           the amount of the ascertained claim.

 

11 GENERAL AVERAGE AND SALVAGE

11.1   This insurance covers the Vessel’s proportion of salvage, salvage charges and/or general average, reduced in
           respect of any under-insurance, but in case of general average sacrifice of the Vessel the Assured may recover in

respect of the whole loss without first enforcing their right of contribution from other parties.

11.2   Adjustment to be according to the law and practice obtaining at the place where the adventure ends, as if the
           contract of affreightment contained no special terms upon the subject; but where the contract of affreightment

so provides the adjustment shall be according to the York-Antwerp Rules.

11.3   When the Vessel sails in ballast, not under charter, the provisions of the York-Antwerp Rules, 1974 (excluding
           Rules XX and XXI) shall be applicable, and the voyage for this purpose shall be deemed to continue from the

port or place of departure until the arrival of the Vessel at the first port or place thereafter other than a port or
place of refuge or a port or place of call for bunkering only. If at any such intermediate port or place there is an
abandonment of the adventure originally contemplated the voyage shall thereupon be deemed to be terminated.

11.4   No claim under this Clause 11 shall in any case be allowed where the loss was not incurred to avoid or in
           connection with the avoidance of a peril insured against.

 

12 DEDUCTIBLE

12.1    No claim arising from a peril insured against shall be payable under this insurance unless the aggregate of all

such claims arising out of each separate accident or occurrence (including claims under Clauses 8, 11 and 13)

exceeds                             (as specified in the POLICY)                   in which case this sum shall be deducted.

Nevertheless the expense of sighting the bottom after stranding, if reasonably incurred specially for that purpose, shall be paid even if no damage be found. This Clause 12.1 shall not apply to a claim for total or constructive total loss of the Vessel or, in the event of such a claim, to any associated claim under Clause 13 arising from the same accident or occurrence.

12.2    Claims for damage by heavy weather occurring during a single sea passage between two successive ports shall

be treated as being due to one accident. In the case of such heavy weather extending over a period not wholly covered by this insurance the deductible to be applied to the claim recoverable hereunder shall be the proportion of the above deductible that the number of days of such heavy weather falling within the period of this insurance bears to the number of days of heavy weather during the single sea passage. The expression “heavy weather” in this Clause 12.2 shall be deemed to include contact with floating ice.

12.3    Excluding any interest comprised therein, recoveries against any claim which is subject to the above deductible

shall be credited to the Underwriters in full to the extent of the sum by which the aggregate of the claim unreduced by any recoveries exceeds the above deductible.

12.4    Interest comprised in recoveries shall be apportioned between the Assured and the Underwriters, taking into

account the sums paid by the Underwriters and the dates when such payments were made, notwithstanding that by the addition of interest the Underwriters may receive a larger sum than they have paid.

 

13 DUTY OF ASSURED(SUE AND LABOUR)

13.1   In case of any loss or misfortune it is the duty of the Assured and their servants and agents to take such measures
           as may be reasonable for the purpose of averting or minimising a loss which would be recoverable under this

insurance.

 

16


13.2    Subject to the provisions below and to Clause 12 the Underwriters will contribute to charges properly and

reasonably incurred by the Assured their servants or agents for such measures. General average, salvage charges
(except as provided for in Clause 13.5) and collision defence or attack costs are not recoverable under this Clause

13.

13.3    Measures taken by the Assured or the Underwriters with the object of saving, protecting or recovering the

subject-matter insured shall not be considered as a waiver or acceptance of abandonment or otherwise prejudice the rights of either party.

13.4    When expenses are incurred pursuant to this Clause 13 the liability under this insurance shall not exceed the

proportion of such expenses that the amount insured hereunder bears to the value of the Vessel as stated herein,
or to the sound value of the Vessel at the time of the occurrence giving rise to the expenditure if the sound value
exceeds that value. Where the Underwriters have admitted a claim for total loss and property insured by this
insurance is saved, the foregoing provisions shall not apply unless the expenses of suing and labouring exceed
the value of such property saved and then shall apply only to the amount of the expenses which is in excess of
such value.

13.5    When a claim for total loss of the Vessel is admitted under this insurance and expenses have been reasonably

incurred in saving or attempting to save the Vessel and other property and there are no proceeds, or the expenses
exceed the proceeds, then this insurance shall bear its pro rata share of such proportion of the expenses, or of the
expenses in excess of the proceeds, as the case may be, as may reasonably be regarded as having been incurred
in respect of the Vessel; but if the Vessel be insured for less than its sound value at the time of the occurrence
giving rise to the expenditure, the amount recoverable under this clause shall be reduced in proportion to the
under-insurance.

13.6    The sum recoverable under this Clause 13 shall be in addition to the loss otherwise recoverable under this

insurance but shall in no circumstances exceed the amount insured under this insurance in respect of the Vessel.

           primer thereto,

15.2   gritblasting and/or other surface preparation of:

the butts or area of plating immediately adjacent to any renewed or refitted plating damaged during the course
of welding and/or repairs, areas of plating damaged during the course of fairing, either in place or ashore,

15.3   supplying and applying the first coat of primer/anti-corrosive to those particular areas mentioned in 15.1 and

15.2 above,

shall be allowed as part of the reasonable cost of repairs in respect of bottom plating damaged by an insured peril.

 

16 WAGES AND MAINTENANCE

No claim shall be allowed, other than in general average, for wages and maintenance of the Master, Officers and Crew, or any member thereof, except when incurred solely for the necessary removal of the Vessel from one port to another for the repair of damage covered by the Underwriters, or for trial trips for such repairs, and then only for such wages and maintenance as are incurred whilst the Vessel is under way.

 

17 AGENCY COMMISSION

In no case shall any sum be allowed under this insurance either by way of remuneration of the Assured for time and
trouble taken to obtain and supply information or documents or in respect of the commission or charges of any manager,

18 UNREPAIRED DAMAGE

           market value of the Vessel at the time this insurance terminates arising from such unrepaired damage, but not

exceeding the reasonable cost of repairs.

18.2   In no case shall the Underwriters be liable for unrepaired damage in the event of a subsequent total loss (whether
           or not covered under this insurance) sustained during the period covered by this insurance or any extension

thereof.

18.3   The Underwriters shall not be liable in respect of unrepaired damage for more than the insured value at the time
           this insurance terminates.

 

19 CONSTRUCTIVE TOTAL LOSS

19.1   In ascertaining whether the Vessel is a constructive total loss, the insured value shall be taken as the repaired
           value and nothing in respect of the damaged or break-up value of the Vessel or wreck shall be taken into account.

19.2   No claim for constructive total loss based upon the cost of recovery and/or repair of the Vessel shall be
           recoverable hereunder unless such cost would exceed the insured value. In making this determination, only the

cost relating to a single accident or sequence of damages arising from the same accident shall be taken into
account.

liability of one or both vessels becomes limited by law, the indemnity under this Clause 8 shall be calculated on the principle of cross-liabilities as if the respective Owners had been compelled to pay to each other such proportion of each other’s damages as may have been properly allowed in ascertaining the balance or sum payable by or to the Assured in consequence of the collision.

8.2.2         In no case shall the Underwriters’ total liability under Clauses 8.1 and 8.2 exceed their proportionate part of

three-fourths*2 of the insured value of the Vessel hereby insured in respect of any one collision.

8.3      The Underwriters will also pay three-fourths*2 of the legal costs incurred by the Assured or which the Assured

may be compelled to pay in contesting liability or taking proceedings to limit liability, with the prior written consent of the Underwriters.

 

 

EXCLUSIONS

8.4      Provided always that this Clause 8 shall in no case extend to any sum which the Assured shall pay for or in

respect of

which the insured Vessel is in collision or property on such other vessels).

 

9   SISTERSHIP

Should the Vessel hereby insured come into collision with or receive salvage services from another vessel belonging wholly or in part to the same Owners or under the same management, the Assured shall have the same rights under this insurance as they would have were the other vessel entirely the property of Owners not interested in the Vessel hereby insured; but in such cases the liability for the collision or the amount payable for the services rendered shall be referred to a sole arbitrator to be agreed upon between the Underwriters and the Assured.

 

10 NOTICE OF CLAIM AND TENDERS

10.1    In the event of accident whereby loss or damage may result in a claim under this insurance, notice shall be given

to the Underwriters prior to survey and also, if the Vessel is abroad, to the nearest Lloyd’s Agent*4 so that a surveyor may be appointed to represent the Underwriters should they so desire.

10.2    The Underwriters shall be entitled to decide the port to which the Vessel shall proceed for docking or repair (the

actual additional expense of the voyage arising from compliance with the Underwriters’ requirements being refunded to the Assured) and shall have a right of veto concerning a place of repair or a repairing firm.

10.3    The Underwriters may also take tenders or may require further tenders to be taken for the repair of the Vessel.

Where such a tender has been taken and a tender is accepted with the approval of the Underwriters, an allowance shall be made at the rate of 30% per annum on the insured value for time lost between the despatch of the invitations to tender required by Underwriters and the acceptance of a tender to the extent that such time is lost solely as the result of tenders having been taken and provided that the tender is accepted without delay after receipt of the Underwriters’ approval.

Due credit shall be given against the allowance as above for any amounts recovered in respect of fuel and stores and wages and maintenance of the Master Officers and Crew or any member thereof, including amounts allowed in general average, and for any amounts recovered from third parties in respect of damages for detention and/or loss of profit and/or running expenses, for the period covered by the tender allowance or any part thereof.
Where a part of the cost of the repair of damage other than a fixed deductible is not recoverable from the Underwriters the allowance shall be reduced by a similar proportion.

10.4    In the event of failure to comply with the conditions of this Clause 10 a deduction of 15% shall be made from

the amount of the ascertained claim.

 

11 GENERAL AVERAGE AND SALVAGE

11.1   This insurance covers the Vessel’s proportion of salvage, salvage charges and/or general average, reduced in
           respect of any under-insurance, but in case of general average sacrifice of the Vessel the Assured may recover in

respect of the whole loss without first enforcing their right of contribution from other parties.

11.2   Adjustment to be according to the law and practice obtaining at the place where the adventure ends, as if the
           contract of affreightment contained no special terms upon the subject; but where the contract of affreightment

so provides the adjustment shall be according to the York-Antwerp Rules.

11.3   When the Vessel sails in ballast, not under charter, the provisions of the York-Antwerp Rules, 1974 (excluding
           Rules XX and XXI) shall be applicable, and the voyage for this purpose shall be deemed to continue from the

port or place of departure until the arrival of the Vessel at the first port or place thereafter other than a port or
place of refuge or a port or place of call for bunkering only. If at any such intermediate port or place there is an
abandonment of the adventure originally contemplated the voyage shall thereupon be deemed to be terminated.

11.4   No claim under this Clause 11 shall in any case be allowed where the loss was not incurred to avoid or in
           connection with the avoidance of a peril insured against.

 

12 DEDUCTIBLE

12.1   No claim arising from a peril insured against*5 shall be payable under this insurance unless the aggregate of all
           such claims arising out of each separate accident or occurrence (including claims under Clauses 8, 11 and 13)

exceeds                         (the amount specified in the POLICY)                                       in which case this sum shall be deducted.

 

23


Nevertheless the expense of sighting the bottom after stranding*6, if reasonably incurred specially for that purpose, shall be paid even if no damage be found. This Clause 12.1 shall not apply to a claim for total or constructive total loss of the Vessel or, in the event of such a claim, to any associated claim under Clause 13 arising from the same accident or occurrence.

12.2    Claims for damage by heavy weather occurring during a single sea passage between two successive ports shall

be treated as being due to one accident. In the case of such heavy weather extending over a period not wholly covered by this insurance the deductible to be applied to the claim recoverable hereunder shall be the proportion of the above deductible that the number of days of such heavy weather falling within the period of this insurance bears to the number of days of heavy weather during the single sea passage. The expression “heavy weather” in this Clause 12.2 shall be deemed to include contact with floating ice.

12.3    Excluding any interest comprised therein, recoveries against any claim which is subject to the above deductible

shall be credited to the Underwriters in full to the extent of the sum by which the aggregate of the claim unreduced by any recoveries exceeds the above deductible.

12.4    Interest comprised in recoveries shall be apportioned between the Assured and the Underwriters, taking into

account the sums paid by the Underwriters and the dates when such payments were made, notwithstanding that by the addition of interest the Underwriters may receive a larger sum than they have paid.

 

 

13 DUTY OF ASSURED(SUE AND LABOUR)

13.1    In case of any loss or misfortune it is the duty of the Assured and their servants and agents to take such measures

as may be reasonable for the purpose of averting or minimising a loss which would be recoverable under this
insurance.

13.2    Subject to the provisions below and to Clause 12 the Underwriters will contribute to charges properly and

reasonably incurred by the Assured their servants or agents for such measures. General average, salvage charges
(except as provided for in Clause 13.5) and collision defence or attack costs are not recoverable under this Clause

13.

13.3    Measures taken by the Assured or the Underwriters with the object of saving, protecting or recovering the

subject-matter insured shall not be considered as a waiver or acceptance of abandonment or otherwise prejudice the rights of either party.

13.4    When expenses are incurred pursuant to this Clause 13 the liability under this insurance shall not exceed the

proportion of such expenses that the amount insured hereunder bears to the value of the Vessel as stated herein,
or to the sound value of the Vessel at the time of the occurrence giving rise to the expenditure if the sound value
exceeds that value. Where the Underwriters have admitted a claim for total loss and property insured by this
insurance is saved, the foregoing provisions shall not apply unless the expenses of suing and labouring exceed
the value of such property saved and then shall apply only to the amount of the expenses which is in excess of
such value.

13.5    When a claim for total loss of the Vessel is admitted under this insurance and expenses have been reasonably

incurred in saving or attempting to save the Vessel and other property and there are no proceeds, or the expenses
exceed the proceeds, then this insurance shall bear its pro rata share of such proportion of the expenses, or of the
expenses in excess of the proceeds, as the case may be, as may reasonably be regarded as having been incurred
in respect of the Vessel; but if the Vessel be insured for less than its sound value at the time of the occurrence
giving rise to the expenditure, the amount recoverable under this clause shall be reduced in proportion to the
under-insurance.

13.6    The sum recoverable under this Clause 13 shall be in addition to the loss otherwise recoverable under this

insurance but shall in no circumstances exceed the amount insured under this insurance in respect of the Vessel.

 

14 NEW FOR OLD

Claims payable without deduction new for old.

           primer thereto,

15.2   gritblasting and/or other surface preparation of:

the butts or area of plating immediately adjacent to any renewed or refitted plating damaged during the course

15.2 above, shall be allowed as part of the reasonable cost of repairs in respect of bottom plating damaged by an insured peril.

 

16 WAGES AND MAINTENANCE

No claim shall be allowed, other than in general average, for wages and maintenance of the Master, Officers and Crew, or any member thereof, except when incurred solely for the necessary removal of the Vessel from one port to another for the repair of damage covered by the Underwriters, or for trial trips for such repairs, and then only for such wages and maintenance as are incurred whilst the Vessel is under way.

 

17 AGENCY COMMISSION

In no case shall any sum be allowed under this insurance either by way of remuneration of the Assured for time and
trouble taken to obtain and supply information or documents or in respect of the commission or charges of any manager,
agent, managing or agency company or the like, appointed by or on behalf of the Assured to perform such services.

 

18 UNREPAIRED DAMAGE

18.1   The measure of indemnity in respect of claims for unrepaired damage shall be the reasonable depreciation in the
           market value of the Vessel at the time this insurance terminates arising from such unrepaired damage, but not

exceeding the reasonable cost of repairs.

18.2   In no case shall the Underwriters be liable for unrepaired damage in the event of a subsequent total loss (whether
           or not covered under this insurance) sustained during the period covered by this insurance or any extension

thereof.

18.3   The Underwriters shall not be liable in respect of unrepaired damage for more than the insured value at the time
           this insurance terminates.

 

19 CONSTRUCTIVE TOTAL LOSS

19.1   In ascertaining whether the Vessel is a constructive total loss, the insured value shall be taken as the repaired
           value and nothing in respect of the damaged or break-up value of the Vessel or wreck shall be taken into account.

19.2   No claim for constructive total loss based upon the cost of recovery and/or repair of the Vessel shall be
           recoverable hereunder unless such cost would exceed the insured value. In making this determination, only the

cost relating to a single accident or sequence of damages arising from the same accident shall be taken into
account.

expenses in excess of the proceeds, as the case may be, as may reasonably be regarded as having been incurred

1.2      delay to or loss of use of any such other vessel

1.3      general average of, salvage of, or salvage under contract of, any such other vessel or property thereon.

conditions of this insurance and shall be subject to the following provisions:

2.1      Where the insured Vessel is in collision with another vessel and both vessels are to blame then, unless the liability

of one or both vessels becomes limited by law, the indemnity under these clauses shall be calculated on the principle of cross-liabilities as if the respective Owners had been compelled to pay to each other such proportion of each other’s damages as may have been properly allowed in ascertaining the balance or sum payable by or to the Assured in consequence of the collision.

Company.

Owners or under the same management, the Assured shall have the same rights under these clauses as they would have
were the other vessel entirely the property of Owners not interested in the Vessel hereby insured; but in such cases the
liability for the collision shall be referred to a sole arbitrator to be agreed upon between the Company and the Assured.

In the event of salvage, towage or other assistance being rendered to the Vessel by any vessel belonging in part or in
whole to the same Owners or Charterers, the value of such services (without regard to the common ownership or control
of the vessels) shall be ascertained by arbitration in the manner provided for under the Collision Liability clause in this
Policy, and the amount so awarded so far as applicable to the interest hereby insured shall constitute a charge under this
Policy.

When the contributory value of the Vessel is greater than the Agreed Value herein, the liability of the Underwriters for General Average contribution (except in respect to amounts made good to the Vessel), or Salvage, shall not exceed that proportion of the total contribution due from the Vessel which the amount insured hereunder bears to the contributory value, and if, because of damage for which the Underwriters are liable as Particular Average, the value of the Vessel has been reduced for the purpose of contribution, the amount of such Particular Average damage recoverable under this Policy shall first be deducted from the amount insured hereunder, and the Underwriters shall then be liable only for the proportion which such net amount bears to the contributory value.

 

TOTAL LOSS

In ascertaining whether the Vessel is a constructive Total Loss the Agreed Value shall be taken as the repaired value
and nothing in respect of the damaged or break-up value of the Vessel or wreck shall be taken into account.
      There shall be no recovery for a constructive Total Loss hereunder unless the expense of recovering and repairing the Vessel would exceed the Agreed Value. In making this determination, only expenses incurred or to be incurred by reason of a single accident or a sequence of damages arising from the same accident shall be taken into account, but expenses incurred prior to tender of abandonment shall not be considered if such are to be claimed separately under the Sue and Labor clause.

In the event of Total Loss (actual or constructive), no claim to be made by the Underwriters for freight, whether notice of abandonment has been given or not.

In no case shall the Underwriters be liable for unrepaired damage in addition to a subsequent Total Loss sustained during the period covered by this Policy.

 

SUE AND LABOR

And in case of any Loss or Misfortune, it shall be lawful and necessary for the Assured, their Factors, Servants and Assigns, to sue, labor and travel for, in, and about the defense, safeguard and recovery of the Vessel, or any part thereof, without prejudice to this insurance, to the charges where of the Underwriters will contribute their proportion as provided below. And it is expressly declared and agreed that no acts of the Underwriters or Assured in recovering, saving or preserving the Vessel shall be considered as a waiver or acceptance of abandonment.

In the event of expenditure under the Sue and Labor clause, the Underwriters shall pay the proportion of such expenses that the amount insured hereunder bears to the Agreed Value, or that the amount insured hereunder (less loss and/or damage payable under this Policy) bears to the actual value of the salved property, whichever proportion shall be less; provided always that their liability for such expenses shall not exceed their proportionate part of the Agreed Value.

If claim for Total Loss is admitted under this Policy and sue and labor expenses have been reasonably incurred in excess
of any proceeds realized or value recovered, the amount payable under this Policy will be the proportion of such excess
that the amount insured hereunder (without deduction for loss or damage) bears to the Agreed Value or to the sound value
of the Vessel at the time of the accident, whichever value was greater; provided always that Underwriters’ liability for such
expenses shall not exceed their proportionate part of the Agreed Value. The foregoing shall also apply to expenses
reasonably incurred in salving or attempting to salve the Vessel and other property to the extent that such expenses shall

 

49


be regarded as having been incurred in respect of the Vessel.

 

COLLISION LIABILITY

And it is further agreed that:

(a)   if the Vessel shall come into collision with any other ship or vessel, and the Assured or the Surety in consequence
        of the Vessel being at fault shall become liable to pay and shall pay by way of damages to any other person or

persons any sum or sums in respect of such collision, the Underwriters will pay the Assured or the Surety, whichever shall have paid, such proportion of such sum or sums so paid as their respective subscriptions hereto bear to the Agreed Value, provided always that their liability in respect to any one such collision shall not exceed their proportionate part of the Agreed Value;

(b)  in cases where, with the consent in writing of a majority (in amount) of Hull Underwriters, the liability of the
        Vessel has been contested, or proceedings have been taken to limit liability, the Underwriters will also pay a like

proportion of the costs which the Assured shall thereby incur or be compelled to pay.

When both vessels are to blame, then, unless the liability of the owners or charterers of one or both such vessels becomes limited by law, claims under the Collision Liability clause shall be settled on the principle of Cross-Liabilities as if the owners or charterers of each vessel had been compelled to pay to the owners or charterers of the other of such vessels such one-half or other proportion of the latter’s damages as may have been properly allowed in ascertaining the balance or sum payable by or to the Assured in consequence of such collision.

The principles involved in this clause shall apply to the case where both vessels are the property, in part or in whole, of
the same owners or charterers, all questions of responsibility and amount of liability as between the two vessels being left
to the decision of a single Arbitrator, if the parties can agree upon a single Arbitrator, or failing such agreement, to the
decision of Arbitrators, one to be appointed by the Assured and one to be appointed by the majority (in amount) of Hull
Underwriters interested; the two Arbitrators chosen to choose a third Arbitrator before entering upon the reference, and the
decision of such single Arbitrator, or of any two of such three Arbitrators, appointed as above, to be final and binding.

Provided always that this clause shall in no case extend to any sum which the Assured or the Surety may become liable to pay or shall pay in consequence of, or with respect to:

(a)   removal or disposal of obstructions, wrecks or their cargoes under statutory powers or otherwise pursuant to law;

(b)  injury to real or personal property of every description;

(c)   the discharge, spillage, emission or leakage of oil, petroleum products, chemicals or other substances of any kind
        or description whatsoever;

(d)  cargo or other property on or the engagements of the Vessel;

(e)   loss of life, personal injury or illness.

Provided further that exclusions (b) and (c) above shall not apply to injury to other vessels or property thereon except to the extent that such injury arises out of any action taken to avoid, minimize or remove any discharge, spillage, emission or leakage described in (c) above.

 

PILOTAGE AND TOWAGE

This insurance shall not be prejudiced by reason of any contract limiting in whole or in part the liability of pilots, tugs, towboats, or their owners when the Assured or the agent of the Assured accepts such contract in accordance with established local practice.

Where in accordance with such practice, pilotage or towage services are provided under contracts requiring the Assured or the agent of the Assured:

(a)   to assume liability for damage resulting from collision of the Vessel insured with any other ship or vessel, including
        the towing vessel, or

(b)  to indemnify those providing the pilotage or towage services against loss or liability for any such damages,

it is agreed that amounts paid by the Assured or Surety pursuant to such assumed obligations shall be deemed payments
“by way of damages to any other person or persons” and to have been paid “in consequence of the Vessel being at fault”
within the meaning of the Collision Liability clause in this Policy to the extent that such payments would have been covered
if the Vessel had been legally responsible in the absence of any agreement. Provided always that in no event shall the
aggregate amount of liability of the Underwriters under the Collision Liability clause, including this clause, be greater than

 

50


the amount of any statutory limitation of liability to which owners are entitled or would be entitled if liability under any
contractual obligation referred to in this clause were included among the liabilities subject to such statutory limitations.

 

CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP

In the event of any change, voluntary or otherwise, in the ownership or flag of the Vessel, or if the Vessel be placed under new management, or be chartered on a bareboat basis or requisitioned on that basis, or if the Classification Society of the Vessel or her class therein be changed, cancelled or withdrawn, then, unless the Underwriters agree thereto in writing, this Policy shall automatically terminate at the time of such change of ownership, flag, management, charter, requisition or classification; provided, however, that:

(a)   if the Vessel has cargo on board and has already sailed from her loading port, or is at sea in ballast, such automatic
        termination shall, if required, be deferred until arrival at final port of discharge if with cargo, or at port of

destination if in ballast;

(b)  in the event of an involuntary temporary transfer by requisition or otherwise, without the prior execution of a
        written agreement by the Assured, such automatic termination shall occur fifteen days after such transfer.

This insurance shall not inure to the benefit of any transferee or charterer of the Vessel and, if a loss payable hereunder
should occur between the time of change or transfer and any deferred automatic termination, the Underwriters shall be
subrogated to all of the rights of the Assured against the transferee or charterer in respect of all or part of such loss as is
recoverable from the transferee or charterer, and in the proportion which the amount insured hereunder bears to the Agreed
Value.

The term “new management” as used above refers only to the transfer of the management of the Vessel from one firm or corporation to another, and it shall not apply to any internal changes within the offices of the Assured.

 

ADDITIONAL INSURANCES

It is a condition of this Policy that no additional insurance against the risk of Total Loss of the Vessel shall be effected
to operate during the currency of this Policy by or for account of the Assured, Owners, Managers, Operators or Mortgagees
except on the interests and up to the amounts enumerated in the following Sections (a) to (g), inclusive, and no such
insurance shall be subject to P.P.I., F.I.A. or other like term on any interests whatever excepting those enumerated in Section

(a); provided always and notwithstanding the limitation on recovery in the Assured clause a breach of this condition shall
not afford the Underwriters any defense to a claim by a Mortgagee who has accepted this Policy without knowledge of
such breach:

(a)   DISBURSEMENTS, MANAGERS’ COMMISSIONS, PROFITS OR EXCESS OR INCREASED VALUE OF

HULL AND MACHINERY, AND/OR SIMILAR INTERESTS HOWEVER DESCRIBED, AND FREIGHT (INCLUDING CHARTERED FREIGHT OR ANTICIPATED FREIGHT) INSURED FOR TIME. An amount not exceeding in the aggregate 25% of the Agreed Value.

(b)   FREIGHT OR HIRE, UNDER CONTRACTS FOR VOYAGE. An amount not exceeding the gross freight or hire

for the current cargo passage and next succeeding cargo passage (such insurance to include, if required, a preliminary and an intermediate ballast passage) plus the charges of insurance. In the case of a voyage charter where payment is made on a time basis, the amount shall be calculated on the estimated duration of the voyage, subject to the limitation of two cargo passages as laid down herein. Any amount permitted under this Section shall be reduced, as the freight or hire is earned, by the gross amount so earned. Any freight or hire to be earned under the form of Charters described in (d) below shall not be permitted under this Section (b) if any part thereof is insured as permitted under said Section (d).

(c)   ANTICIPATED FREIGHT IF THE VESSEL SAILS IN BALLAST AND NOT UNDER CHARTER. An amount

not exceeding the anticipated gross freight on next cargo passage, such amount to be reasonably estimated on the basis of the current rate of freight at time of insurance, plus the charges of insurance. Provided, however, that no insurance shall be permitted by this Section if any insurance is effected as permitted under Section (b).

(d)   TIME CHARTER HIRE OR CHARTER HIRE FOR SERIES OF VOYAGES. An amount not exceeding 50% of

the gross hire which is to be earned under the charter in a period not exceeding 18 months. Any amount permitted
under this Section shall be reduced as the hire is earned under the charter by 50% of the gross amount so earned
but, where the charter is for a period exceeding 18 months, the amount insured need not be reduced while it does

 

51


not exceed 50% of the gross hire still to be earned under the charter. An insurance permitted by this Section may begin on the signing of the charter.

(e)   PREMIUMS. An amount not exceeding the actual premiums of all interest insured for a period not exceeding 12
        months (excluding premiums insured as permitted under the foregoing Sections but including, if required, the

premium or estimated calls on any Protection and Indemnity or War Risks and Strikes insurance) reducing pro rata
monthly.

(f)   RETURNS OF PREMIUM. An amount not exceeding the actual returns which are recoverable subject to “and
        arrival” or equivalent provision under any policy of insurance.

(g)  INSURANCE  IRRESPECTIVE  OF AMOUNT AGAINST:-Risks  excluded  by  War,  Strikes  and  Related
        Exclusions clause; risks enumerated in the American Institute War Risks and Strikes Clauses; and General Average

and Salvage Disbursements.

 

WAR STRIKES AND RELATED EXCLUSIONS

This Policy does not cover any loss, damage or expense caused by, resulting from, or incurred as a consequence of:

(a)   Capture, seizure, arrest, restraint or detainment, or any attempt thereat; or

(b)   Any taking of the Vessel, by requisition or otherwise, whether in time of peace or war and whether lawful or

otherwise; or

(c)   Any mine, bomb or torpedo not carried as cargo on board the Vessel; or

(d)   Any weapon of war employing atomic or nuclear fission and/or fusion or other like reaction or radioactive force

(f)    Strikes, lockouts, political or labor disturbances, civil commotions, riots, martial law, military or usurped power;

or

(g)   Malicious acts or vandalism, unless committed by the Master or Mariners and not excluded elsewhere under this

War Strikes and Related Exclusions clause; or

(h)   Hostilities or warlike operations (whether there be a declaration of war or not) but this subparagraph (h) not to

exclude collision or contact with aircraft, rockets or similar missiles, or with any fixed or floating object, or stranding, heavy weather, fire or explosion unless caused directly by a hostile act by or against a belligerent power which act is independent of the nature of the voyage or service which the Vessel concerned or, in the case of a collision, any other vessel involved therein, is performing. As used herein, “power” includes any authority maintaining, naval, military or air forces in association with a power.

If war risks or other risks excluded by this clause are hereafter insured by endorsement on this Policy, such endorsement shall supersede the above conditions only to the extent that the terms of such endorsement are inconsistent therewith and only while such endorsement remains in force.

RETURNS OF PREMIUMS

Premium returnable as follows:

Pro rata daily net in the event of termination under the Change of Ownership clause;

Pro rata monthly net for each uncommenced month if it be mutually agreed to cancel this Policy;

Should the lay-up period exceed 30 consecutive days, the Assured shall have the option to elect the period of 30 consecutive days for which a return is recoverable.

 

NON-PAYMENT OF PREMIUM

In event of non-payment of premium 50 days after attachment, or of any additional premium when due, this Policy may be cancelled by the Underwriters upon 10 days written or telegraphic notice sent to the Assured at his last known address or in care of the broker who negotiated this Policy. Such proportion of the premium, however, as shall have been earned up to the time of cancellation shall be payable. In the event of Total Loss of the Vessel occurring prior to any cancellation or termination of this Policy full annual premium shall be considered earned.

 

ADVENTURE

Beginning the adventure upon the Vessel, as above, and so shall continue and endure during the period aforesaid, as
employment may offer, in port or at sea, in docks and graving docks, and on ways, gridirons and pontoons, at all times, in
all places, and on all occasions, services and trades; with leave to sail or navigate with or without pilots to go on trial trips
and to assist and tow vessels or craft in distress, but the Vessel may not be towed, except as is customary or when in need
of assistance, nor shall the Vessel render assistance or undertake towage or salvage services under contract previously
arranged by the Assured, the Owners, the Managers or the Charterers of the Vessel, nor shall the Vessel, in the course of
trading operations, engage in loading or discharging cargo at sea, from or into another vessel other than a barge, lighter or
similar craft used principally in harbors or inland waters. The phrase “engage in loading or discharging cargo at sea” shall
include white approaching, leaving or alongside, or while another vessel is approaching, leaving or alongside the Vessel.

The Vessel is held covered in case of any breach of conditions as to cargo, trade, locality, towage or salvage activities, date of sailing or loading or discharging cargo at sea, provided (a) notice is given to the Underwriters immediately following receipt of knowledge thereof by the Assured, and (b) any amended terms of cover and any additional premium required by the Underwriters are agreed to by the Assured.

 

COVERAGE

This insurance covers only;

(1) TOTAL LOSS (ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE) OF THE VESSEL directly caused by Perils of the Seas, Men-of-War, Fire, Lightning, Earthquake, Enemies, Pirates, Rovers, Assailing Thieves, Jettisons, Letters of Mart and Counter-Mart, Surprisals, Takings at Sea, Arrests, Restraints and Detainments of all Kings, Princes and Peoples, of what nation, condition or quality soever, Barratry of the Master and Mariners and of all other like Perils, Losses and Misfortunes that have or shall come to the Hurt, Detriment or Damage of the Vessel, or any part thereof, excepting, however, such of the foregoing perils as may be excluded by provisions elsewhere in the Policy or by endorsement thereon. It shall also cover Total Loss (actual or constructive) directly caused by the following:-

Accidents in loading, discharging or handling cargo, or in bunkering;

Accidents in going on or off, or while on drydocks, graving docks, ways, gridirons or pontoons; Explosions on shipboard or elsewhere;

Breakdown of motor generators or other electrical machinery and electrical connections thereto, bursting of boilers, breakage of shafts, or any latent defect in the machinery or hull, (excluding the cost and expense of replacing or repairing the defective part);

Breakdown of or accidents to nuclear installations or reactors not on board the insured Vessel; Contact with aircraft, rockets or similar missiles, or with any land conveyance;

Negligence of Charterers and/or Repairers, provided such Charterers and/or Repairers are not an Assured hereunder; Negligence of Masters, Officers, Crew or Pilots;

provided such loss or damage has not resulted from want of due diligence by the Assured, the Owners or Managers of the

 

54


Vessel, or any of them. Masters, Officers, Crew or Pilots are not to be considered Owners within the meaning of this clause should they hold shares in the Vessel.

Subject to the conditions of this Policy, this insurance also covers Total Loss (actual or constructive) of the Vessel
directly caused by governmental authorities acting for the public welfare to prevent or mitigate a pollution hazard, or
threat thereof, resulting directly from damage to the Vessel for which the Underwriters are liable under this Policy,
provided such act of governmental authorities has not resulted from want of due diligence by the Assured, the Owners,
or Managers of the Vessel or any of them to prevent or mitigate such hazard or threat. Masters, Officers, Crew or Pilots
are not to be considered Owners within the meaning of this clause should they hold shares in the Vessel.

In ascertaining whether the Vessel is a constructive Total Loss the Agreed Value in the policies on Hull and Machinery shall be taken as the repaired value and nothing in respect of the damaged or break-up value of the Vessel or wreck shall be taken into account.

There shall be no recovery for a constructive Total Loss hereunder unless the expense of recovering and repairing the Vessel would exceed the Agreed Value in policies on Hull and Machinery. In making this determination, only expenses incurred or to be incurred by reason of a single accident or a sequence of damages arising from the same accident shall be taken into account, but expenses incurred prior to tender of abandonment shall not be considered if such are to be claimed separately under the Sue and Labor clause in said policies.

Provided that the policies on Hull and Machinery contain the above clauses with respect to the method of ascertaining whether the Vessel is a constructive Total Loss (or clauses having a similar effect), the settlement of a claim for Total Loss under the policies on Hull and Machinery shall be accepted as proof of the Total Loss of the Vessel under this Policy; and in the event of a claim for Total Loss being settled under the policies on Hull and Machinery as a compromised total loss, the amount payable hereunder shall be the same percentage of the amount hereby insured as the percentage paid on the amount insured under said policies.

Should the Vessel be a constructive Total Loss but the claim on the policies on Hull and Machinery be settled as a claim for partial loss, no payment shall be due under this Section (1).

Full interest admitted; the Policy being deemed sufficient proof of interest.

In the event of Total Loss, the Underwriters waive interest in any proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the Vessel or wreck.

(2) GENERAL AVERAGE AND SALVAGE not recoverable in full under the policies on Hull and Machinery by
reason of the difference between the Agreed Value of the Vessel as stated therein (or any reduced value arising from the
deduction therefrom in process of adjustment of any claim which law or practice or the terms of the policies covering Hull
and Machinery may have required) and the value of the Vessel adopted for the purpose of contribution to General Average
of Salvage, the liability under this Policy being for such proportion of the amount not recoverable as the amount insured
hereunder bears to the said difference or to the total amount insured against excess liabilities if it exceed such difference.

(3) SUE AND LABOR CHARGES not recoverable in full under the policies on Hull and Machinery by reason of the
difference between the Agreed Value of the Vessel as stated therein (or any reduced value arising from the deduction
therefrom of any claim which the terms of the policies covering Hull and Machinery may have required) and the value of
the Vessel adopted for the purpose of ascertaining the amount recoverable under the policies on Hull and Machinery, the
liability under this Policy being for such proportion of the amount not recoverable as the amount insured hereunder bears
to the said difference or to the total amount insured against excess liabilities if it exceed such difference.

(4) COLLISION LIABRLIITY (including Costs) not recoverable in full under the Collision Liability clause
(including the Pilotage and Towage extension) in the policies on Hull and Machinery by reason of such liability exceeding
the Agreed Value of the Vessel as stated therein, in which case the amount recoverable under this Policy shall be such
proportion of the difference so arising as the amount hereby insured bears to the total amount insured against excess
liabilities.

Underwriters’ liability under (1),(2),(3) and (4) is separate and shall not exceed the amount insured hereunder in any one section in respect of any one claim.

When it becomes evident that any accident or occurrence could give rise to a claim under this Policy prompt notice thereof shall be given to the Underwriters.

CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP

In the event of any change, voluntary or otherwise, in the ownership or flag of the Vessel, or if the Vessel be placed under new management, or be chartered on a bareboat basis or requisitioned on that basis, or if the Classfiication Society of the Vessel or her class therein be changed, cancelled or withdrawn, then, unless the Underwriters agree thereto in writing, this Policy shall automatically terminate at the time of such change of ownership, flag, management, charter, requisition or classification, provided however, that:

(a) if the Vessel has cargo on board and has already sailed from her loading port, or is at sea in ballast, such automatic
termination shall, if required, be deferred until arrival at final port of discharge if with cargo, or at port of destination if
in ballast;

(b) in the event of an involuntary temporary transfer by requisition or otherwise, without the prior execution of a written agreement by the Assured, such automatic termination shall occur fifteen days after such transfer.

This insurance shall not inure to the benefit of any transferee or charterer of the Vessel and, if a loss payable hereunder
should occur between the time of change or transfer and any deferred automatic termination, the Underwriters shall be
subrogated to all of the rights of the Assured against the transferee or charterer in respect of all or part of such loss as is
recoverable from the transferee or charterer, and in the proportion which the amount insured hereunder bears to the Agreed
Value.

The term “new management” as used above refers only to the transfer of the management of the Vessel from one firm or corporation to another, and it shall not apply to any internal changes within the offices of the Assured.

 

WAR, STRIKES AND RELATED EXCLUSIONS

The following conditions shall be paramount and shall supersede and nullify any contrary provisions of the Policy.
This Policy does not cover any loss, damage or expense caused by, resulting from, or incurred as a consequence of:

(a)   Capture, seizure, arrest, restraint or detainment, or any attempt thereat; or

(b)   Any taking of the Vessel, by requisition or otherwise, whether in time of peace or war and whether lawful or

otherwise; or

(d)   Any weapon of war employing atomic or nuclear fission and or fusion or other like reaction or radioactive force

or matter; or

(e)   Civil war, revolution, rebellion, insurrection, or civil strife arising therefrom, or piracy; or

(f)    Strikes, lockouts, political or labor disturbances, civil commotions, riots, martial law, military or usurped power;

or

(g)   Malicious acts or vandalism, unless committed by the Master or Mariners and not excluded elsewhere under this

War Strikes and Related Exclusions clause; or

(h)   Hostilities or warlike operations (whether there be a declaration of war or not) but this subparagraph (h) not to

exclude collision or contact with aircraft, rocket or similar missiles, or with any fixed or floating object, or stranding, heavy weather, fire or explosion unless caused directly by a hostile act by or against a belligerent power which act is independent of the nature of the voyage or service which the Vessel concerned or, in the case of a collision, any other vessel involved therein, is performing. As used herein “power” includes any authority maintaining naval, military or air forces in association with a power.

If war risks or other risks excluded by this clause are hereafter insured by endorsement on this Policy, such endorsement shall supersede the above conditions only to the extent that the terms of such endorsement are inconsistent therewith and only while such endorsement remains in force.

           Rules XX and XXI) shall be applicable, and the voyage for this purpose shall be deemed to continue from the

port or place of departure until the arrival of the Vessel at the first port or place thereafter other than a port or
place of refuge or a port or place of call for bunkering only. If at any such intermediate port or place there is an
abandonment of the adventure originally contemplated the voyage shall thereupon be deemed to be terminated.

13.4   No claim under this Clause 13 shall in any case be allowed where the loss was not incurred to avoid or in
           connection with the avoidance of a peril insured against.

14 NOTICE OF CLAIM

In the event of loss damage liability or expense which may result in a claim under this insurance, prompt notice shall be given to the Underwriters prior to repair and, if the subject-matter is under construction abroad, to the nearest Lloyd’s Agent*3 so that a surveyor may be appointed to represent the Underwriters should they so desire.

JHC COMMUNICABLE DISEASE EXCLUSION

1. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this (re)insurance, it is hereby agreed that this (re)insurance excludes
      absolutely all Communicable Disease Loss, save where the conditions of the Infected Individual Exception are met.

2.1 “Communicable Disease Loss” shall mean all loss, damage, liability, or expense of whatsoever nature, proximately
      caused by or significantly caused by or contributed to by or resulting from or arising out of or in connection with any

of the Excluded Circumstances, those Circumstances being

a)  a Communicable Disease, and/or

b)  the fear or threat, whether actual or perceived, of a Communicable Disease, and/or

c)  any recommendation, decision or measure, made or taken to restrict, prevent, reduce or slow the spread of infection
        of a Communicable Disease or to remove or minimise legal liability in respect of such a disease, whether made or

taken by a public authority or a private entity and/or

d)  any recommendation, decision or measure made or taken to alter, reverse or remove any circumstance falling
        within (c) above, whether made or taken by a public authority or a private entity

regardless of any other cause or circumstance contributing concurrently or in any other sequence thereto.

2.2 Without prejudice to the effect of Clauses 2.1 (a), (b) and (d), recommendations, decisions and measures by
      whomsoever taken to tie-up, lay-up or maintain at anchor, in port or elsewhere, any vessel, conveyance, rig or platform

pending resumption of cruising, operation, trading, cargo loading or discharge or other customary use shall not
constitute Excluded Circumstances, notwithstanding they or any of them may have been taken for the reasons set out
in 2.1 (c) above.

2.3 Without prejudice to the effect of Clauses 2.1 (a), (b) and (d) for the purposes of a loss event first affecting a vessel,
      conveyance, rig or platform during a voyage undertaken as a consequence of a diversion, a prior recommendation,

decision or measure by whomsoever taken to divert that vessel from an earlier loading or discharge or other destination shall not constitute an Excluded Circumstance solely by reason of that diversion having been made for the reasons set out in 2.1 (c) above.

2.4 Without prejudice to the effect of Clauses 2.1 (a), (b) and (d), where loss, damage or liability have first been incurred
      in circumstances which are not excluded under 2.1 (a) to (d) above, increased expense or increased liability for expense

shall not be excluded notwithstanding that increase may have been incurred for the reasons set out in 2.1(c) above.

3. “Communicable Disease” shall mean any disease, known or unknown, which can be transmitted by means of any
      substance or agent from one organism to another where:

a)      the substance or agent includes but is not limited to a virus, bacterium, parasite or other organism or any variation

 

143


or mutation of any of the foregoing, whether deemed living or not, and

b)      the method of transmission, whether direct or indirect, includes but is not limited to human touch or contact,

airborne transmission, bodily fluid transmission, transmission to or from or via any solid object or surface or liquid
or gas and

c)      the disease, substance or agent may, acting alone or in conjunction with other co-morbidities, conditions, genetic

susceptibilities, or with the human immune system, cause death, illness or bodily harm or temporarily or
permanently impair human physical or mental health or adversely affect the value of or safe use of property of any
kind.

4.1 The Infected Individual Exception shall apply where (1) the actions or decisions of any individual infected or allegedly
      infected with a Communicable Disease cause or contribute to an alleged loss event and (2) neither such action nor

decision nor the alleged cause of the loss event itself was a recommendation, decision or measure as defined in 2.1 (c) or 2.1 (d) above.

4.2 Where those conditions are met, the fact or possibility that the individual’s action(s) or decision(s) were impaired or
      affected by or caused by that individual’s alleged or actual infection shall not exclude recovery of a Loss otherwise

recoverable hereon provided always that there shall be no cover for loss, damage, liability, or expense arising from any increase in the spread, incidence, severity or recurrence of a Communicable Disease or from any Circumstance as defined in Clause 2.1 (c) or (d)  consequent on that individual’s actions or decisions.

4.3 For the purposes of this Exception, the Infected Individual need not be physically present on or in an interest affected
      by the loss event, provided that his or her actions or decisions causing or contributing to the loss event and affecting

that interest, directly or indirectly, were of a kind which, when not impaired or affected, would fall within the ordinary course of his or her employment.

5.  Loss, damage, liability and expense arising solely out of a loss event otherwise reinsured under this (re)insurance and
      not excluded thereby nor excluded pursuant to this Clause remain covered in accordance with the terms and conditions

thereof.
