Charterer’s InterestNarrativeA charterer - normally a time charterer - may have a further <strong>in</strong>terest <strong>in</strong> the chartered vessel. For example, theship may be sub-let on a time charter or the charterer may have a purchase option. This <strong>in</strong>terest is <strong>in</strong>surable.DescriptionCharterers commonly charter ships either on a voyage or time charter basis. Primarily <strong>in</strong> the latter circumstances,the chartered vessel represents future <strong>in</strong>come. Naturally, should the ship be lost, the charterer will not paycharter hire, but he may f<strong>in</strong>d it hard to secure a replacement vessel either at the same rate or a ship so suited tothe <strong>in</strong>tended trade. As a result, the charterer may not earn the future freight, as anticipated.In order to cover this exposure, the charterer can protect himself by a total loss <strong>in</strong>surance known as Charterer’sInterest. Should the chartered ship become a total loss, the charterer will be <strong>in</strong>demnified by this cover.As there is no entitlement to earn m<strong>one</strong>y on <strong>in</strong>surance, but rather only to make good losses - this cover isoften provided on a reduc<strong>in</strong>g basis. For example, if the charterer anticipates a profit of USD 1.2 million on thevessel dur<strong>in</strong>g a charter period of, say, <strong>one</strong> year, his <strong>in</strong>terest when the charter is signed will be that sum. After<strong>one</strong> month, however, he has earned USD 100,000 and, therefore, his <strong>in</strong>surable <strong>in</strong>terest at the start of thesecond month is reduced to USD 1.1 million. This cover is often written on a daily reduc<strong>in</strong>g basis. On the lastday of cover, where there is no future profit at risk, the <strong>in</strong>sured amount is at zero.This note is a general description of Charterer’s Interest <strong>in</strong>surance.

Charterer’s <strong>All</strong> Inclusive CoverNarrativeA person or a company act<strong>in</strong>g as charterer of a ship assumes responsibilities broadly similar to those of anowner. <strong>The</strong> contract<strong>in</strong>g parties - normally a cargo owner or sub-charterer - will view the charterer as the“owner” of the ship. <strong>The</strong> charterer also assumes liabilities towards the vessel owner, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g damage <strong>in</strong>flictedon the ship.In addition a charterer - normally a time charterer - may have a further <strong>in</strong>terest <strong>in</strong> the chartered vessel. Forexample, the ship may be sub-let on a time charter or the charterer may have a purchase option. This <strong>in</strong>terestis <strong>in</strong>surable.F<strong>in</strong>ally, the charterer may have an <strong>in</strong>surable <strong>in</strong>terest if the chartered ship susta<strong>in</strong>s damage result<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> aparticular average covered under the H&M policy. Furthermore, the lost earn<strong>in</strong>gs, <strong>in</strong> the case of a sub-let ship,represent an <strong>in</strong>surable <strong>in</strong>terest.This <strong>in</strong>surance offers comprehensive cover <strong>in</strong> respect of the charterer’s liabilities, <strong>in</strong>terest <strong>in</strong> the event of atotal loss and <strong>in</strong>terest <strong>in</strong> the case of a particular average on the chartered ship.DescriptionCharterer’s LiabilityMost ships are chartered either on a Time Charter or Voyage Charter contract. In both cases the chartererbecomes liable as he occupies a position similar to an owner towards the sub-contract<strong>in</strong>g party (either a subchartereror cargo owner). His liabilities towards third parties are then broadly similar to those of a shipowner<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g liabilities for cargo and oil pollution.Simultaneously, the charterer assumes liabilities towards the party he charters the ship from - the vesselowner or another charterer. Primarily, this type of liability relates to vessel damage caused by, for <strong>in</strong>stance,cargo-handl<strong>in</strong>g, unsafe port or berth and bad bunkers.Charterers <strong>in</strong> any role, whether as voyage charterers or time charterers, need cover for this exposure. Evenwhere the charterparty contractually imposes the liability on the shipowner, most jurisdictions allow a claimantto pursue compensation from a party he f<strong>in</strong>ds most suitable. <strong>The</strong> claimant has freedom of choice, to sueeither the charterer or the owner. <strong>The</strong> charterparty will eventually determ<strong>in</strong>e, contractually, who should bearthe cost, but this may follow a long legal process. Charterer’s Liability <strong>in</strong>surance is a P&I cover primarily, butfor charterers with a fixed premium.S<strong>in</strong>ce claims between an owner and a charterer frequently concern hull damages the cover may also <strong>in</strong>cludeCharterer’s Liability to Hull. Even if the contract is on a Voyage Charter, where the shipowner may have anobligation to ensure named ports are safe for his ships, the charterparty may name a range of ports fordischarge. If the port is unsafe, the charterer may have a liability to the shipowner, should damage to the shipoccur. Stevedore damage to vessels is commonplace when load<strong>in</strong>g or discharg<strong>in</strong>g cargo. This is yet anothertypical liability imposed on the charterer.<strong>All</strong> charterers, regardless of position <strong>in</strong> the “charter<strong>in</strong>g cha<strong>in</strong>”, require cover for both P&I liabilities and damageto hull. As soon as there is a b<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g fixture, whether voyage or time charter, the charterer has an <strong>in</strong>surableexposure.9www.swedishclub.comVers. 2/sept/2007

<strong>All</strong> Inclusive S.O.L.Shipowner’s Liability CoverNarrative<strong>The</strong>re are numerous occasions when a shipowner has to deviate from the normal route or the agreed B/L. Inthese situations, there is exposure to cargo liability. Such deviations to the B/L can be covered on the specificoccasions by the <strong>Club</strong> but we also offer an “<strong>All</strong> Inclusive S.O.L. cover” which provides for liberties to deviateunder the policy period.Description<strong>The</strong> “<strong>All</strong>-Inclusive S.O.L. cover” <strong>in</strong>cludes a number of specific liabilities that are ma<strong>in</strong>ly excluded from the P&Icover.

A brief description what this cover can <strong>in</strong>clude is:Deviation coverP&I rules clearly exclude any deviation ordered by the shipowner. A deviation may be for the purposes ofbunker<strong>in</strong>g or crew change, but may also be for provision<strong>in</strong>g and tak<strong>in</strong>g on of spares. Not allowed deviationsfrustrate the B/L and so denies the shipowner any limitations under the rules govern<strong>in</strong>g the B/L (e.g. theHague-Visby Rules).

S.O.L. cover is designed for such special cases.DescriptionIf a vessel has to drydock with cargo on board, the Bill of Lad<strong>in</strong>g may be frustrated and the shipowner willloose P&I cover. S.O.L. <strong>in</strong>surance covers this additional exposure. This exposure also applies if a cargo has tobe transhipped, stored, feedered or lightered. <strong>The</strong> defence under the B/L is frustrated and P&I cover lost. <strong>The</strong>potential liability is the value of the cargo declared.This note is a general description of S.O.L.

<strong>All</strong> Inclusive Crew CoverNarrativeA shipowner may have various exposures for his contracted crew which may not directly be associated withan entered ship. Typically he may have crew prior to delivery of a newbuild<strong>in</strong>g or a ship bought <strong>in</strong> the secondhandmarket. <strong>The</strong>re may be crew on leave <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> a tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g course. Crew members may cause damage tothird party and the shipowner may assume liability thereof. This cover addresses these liabilities.Description<strong>The</strong> “<strong>All</strong>-Inclusive Crew cover” <strong>in</strong>cludes a number of specific liabilities that are ma<strong>in</strong>ly excluded from the P&Icover.

From the moment staff commencethe journey to the ship, the owner is liable accord<strong>in</strong>g to the terms of their employment contracts. At the timeon board they may cause damage to the not delivered ship where the shipowner may become liable.Crew at shipyardTo familiarise themselves crew are often sent to the shipyard prior to delivery and they may also act as representativesof the shipowner. S<strong>in</strong>ce the ship is not yet delivered there is no P&I cover for the ship. <strong>The</strong> shipownermay anyhow be liable for the crew and damage caused.Crew attend<strong>in</strong>g tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g coursesMost shipowners will from time to time have their crew on leave to attend sem<strong>in</strong>ars or tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g courses.

Crew FamiliarisationLiability CoverNarrativeA shipowner purchas<strong>in</strong>g a ship or tak<strong>in</strong>g delivery of a newbuild<strong>in</strong>g will always have a few crew members onboard prior to delivery. In these circumstances, the liability associated with the crew is compounded by exposureto liabilities aris<strong>in</strong>g from the actions of his personnel aga<strong>in</strong>st a third party, such as the current owners orthe yard.

Dur<strong>in</strong>g the familiarisation processa pre-boarded crew member may cause damage to the ship. In this situation, the seller will hold the buyerliable. <strong>The</strong> problem here is that, s<strong>in</strong>ce he is not the owner by title, he has no cover under P&I, as P&I cover islimited to liabilities <strong>in</strong> his capacity as an owner, operator or charterer of the ship. <strong>The</strong> same pr<strong>in</strong>ciples applyto a newbuild<strong>in</strong>g, where the new crew jo<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g numbers prior to the official delivery date. <strong>The</strong>se riskscan be addressed by additional cover, added prior to ord<strong>in</strong>ary P&I cover.This note is a general description of Crew Familiarisation Liability cover.

Deviation InsuranceNarrative<strong>The</strong> vessel is obliged, under the terms of the Bill of Lad<strong>in</strong>g, to transport cargo from the port of load<strong>in</strong>g to theport of discharge. This implies that the shipowner may not deviate to another port for the purposes of bunker<strong>in</strong>g,crew change or the load<strong>in</strong>g of provisions or spares. In the event of a deviation, the result<strong>in</strong>g liability iscovered by Deviation Insurance.DescriptionP&I rules clearly exclude any deviation ordered by the shipowner. A deviation may be for the purposes ofbunker<strong>in</strong>g or crew change, but may also be for provision<strong>in</strong>g and the tak<strong>in</strong>g on of spares. Should the deviationfor any purpose be excluded from P&I cover, the shipowner requires cover for the risk of breach<strong>in</strong>g the B/L.Should an emergency arise, however, P&I will meet the liability.<strong>The</strong> B/L may <strong>in</strong>clude a clause allow<strong>in</strong>g the owner to deviate <strong>in</strong> order to bunker. In such circumstances, theshipowner may deviate for bunker<strong>in</strong>g, accord<strong>in</strong>g to the clause, and may at the same time acquire provisionsand change crew. This is not regarded as a frustration of P&I cover.If the B/L <strong>in</strong>cludes a clause permitt<strong>in</strong>g the shipowner to deviate for bunker<strong>in</strong>g but he deviates solely foranother purpose, such as provision<strong>in</strong>g or crew change, P&I cover is frustrated and Deviation Insurance isrequired.Should the charterparty <strong>in</strong>clude a “liberty clause”, giv<strong>in</strong>g permission to deviate for bunker<strong>in</strong>g, the coverdepends on the word<strong>in</strong>g of the Bill of Lad<strong>in</strong>g(s). <strong>The</strong> mere <strong>in</strong>clusion of a liberty clause <strong>in</strong> the charterparty doesnot warrant a liberty to deviate. It is the cargo owner’s decision (that is, the holder, at any time, of the B/L)that provides permission to deviate. Without B/L permission, there is no right to deviate and, therefore, P&Icover is frustrated and Deviation Insurance is required.Deviation Insurance covers the excluded cargo liability risk. <strong>The</strong> cover is based on cargo value. Deviationfrustrates the B/L and so denies the shipowner any limitations under the rules govern<strong>in</strong>g the B/L (e.g. theHague-Visby Rules).Any other liability dur<strong>in</strong>g deviation is covered under normal P&I rules.This note is a general description of Deviation Insurance.

Passenger DeviationNarrativeFrom time to time a non-passenger vessel may carry passengers or supernumeraries (e.g. an officer or a crewmember accompanied by a relative or spouse). Some of the associated liabilities may not be covered underP&I Rules. Passenger Deviation <strong>in</strong>surance covers these risks.Description<strong>The</strong>re is an <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>terest <strong>in</strong> the possibilities of travell<strong>in</strong>g as a passenger on ord<strong>in</strong>ary cargo vessels. <strong>The</strong>reis an <strong>in</strong>creased risk, primarily the possibility of deviation <strong>in</strong>to a port if a passenger has to be landed due toillness. <strong>The</strong> same might apply to a relative of an officer or crew member on board for the voyage or a period.Passenger Deviation cover provides for the additional cost of such deviation, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g harbour expensesand any delay to the vessel. <strong>The</strong>re is a ma<strong>in</strong> exclusion for pregnancy. Passengers or relatives should not jo<strong>in</strong>the ship if they are pregnant. <strong>The</strong> cost of cover depends on age.

Exxon GA Clause InsuranceNarrativeIn the charterparties for tankers some oil companies <strong>in</strong>clude a clause limit<strong>in</strong>g their responsibility for generalaverage. This exclusion does not match P&I cover and, for this reason, the extended liability for owners isaddressed by this additional cover.DescriptionExxon <strong>in</strong>troduced <strong>in</strong> their charterparty (Exxonvoy 90, Part II, superced<strong>in</strong>g clause 27(b) iii.), a General Averageclause:(iii) GENERAL AVERAGE. General Average shall be adjusted, stated, and settled accord<strong>in</strong>g to the York Antwerp Rules 1994(“Rules”) and, as to matters not provided for by those Rules, accord<strong>in</strong>g to the laws and usages at the port of New York;provided that, when there is an actual escape or release of oil or pollutant substances from the Vessel (irrespective ofVessel location), the cost of any measures, cont<strong>in</strong>ued or undertaken on that account, to prevent or m<strong>in</strong>imize pollution orenvironmental damage shall not be allowable <strong>in</strong> General Average; and, provided further, that any payment for pollutiondamage (as def<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> Article I 6.(a) of the 1992 Protocol to the International Convention on Civil Liability for OilPollution Damage) shall also not be allowable <strong>in</strong> General Average. It is understood and agreed, however, that the costof measures to prevent pollution or environmental damage, undertaken <strong>in</strong> respect of oil or pollutant substances whichhave not escaped or been released from the Vessel, shall be <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> General Average to the extent permitted by theRules. If a General Average statement is required, it shall be prepared at such port by an Adjuster from the port of NewYork appo<strong>in</strong>ted by the Carrier and approved by Charterer of Vessel. Such Adjuster shall attend to the settlement and thecollection of the General Average, subject to customary charges. General Average Agreements and/or security shall befurnished by Carrier and/or Charterer, and/or Owner, and/or Consignee of cargo, if requested. Any cash deposit be<strong>in</strong>gmade as security to pay General Average and/or salvage shall be remitted to the Average Adjuster and shall be held by theAdjuster at the Adjuster’s risk <strong>in</strong> a special account <strong>in</strong> a duly authorized and licensed bank at the place where the GeneralAverage statement is prepared. (2006-01-25)This clause reduces the charterer’s obligation under the charterparty and excludes from GA any costs attributableto preventive measures taken to avoid or m<strong>in</strong>imise pollution. Pollution damage, <strong>in</strong> itself, is not allowedunder the York-Antwerp Rules 1994, but the costs of certa<strong>in</strong> specified preventive measures are allowed whenthere is an actual escape or release of oil from the vessel.

Cargo on DeckNarrativeVessels may have to carry cargo on deck with “under deck, wholly or partly”, Bills of Lad<strong>in</strong>g. When cargo iscarried on deck <strong>in</strong> these circumstances, this is a B/L breach impos<strong>in</strong>g liability excluded by P&I Rules. Cargo onDeck <strong>in</strong>surance covers such liability.DescriptionSome ships - primarily general cargo vessels, RoRos and conta<strong>in</strong>er vessels - often carry cargo on deck. Ifthe B/L is worded appropriately, conta<strong>in</strong>ers may be stowed on deck, as is normally the case <strong>in</strong> the conta<strong>in</strong>ertrades, and there is no need for additional cover as this is covered under P&I Rules.In the case of general cargo ships and bulkcarriers <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> the timber trade, however, the B/L often failsto stipulate that cargo may be carried on deck. If the B/L is breached there is no cover under P&I Rules. S<strong>in</strong>cesuch carriage is commonplace <strong>in</strong> these trades, owners must cover the additional liability.Cargo on Deck cover <strong>in</strong>sures risks where the owner is not allowed to carry cargo on deck (totally or partly).Cover is based on cargo value under the B/L, even if part of the cargo is carried under deck. <strong>The</strong> premium isbased on the type of cargo carried.Typical exclusions <strong>in</strong> this cover <strong>in</strong>clude rust<strong>in</strong>g, oxidation and discolour<strong>in</strong>g of unpacked steel and vehicles.

Ad Valorem:Specie and Valuable CargoNarrative<strong>The</strong> shipowner has a defence, <strong>in</strong> this context, under the Bill of Lad<strong>in</strong>g (eg. the Hague-Visby Rules). If the cargo<strong>in</strong> the B/L is described with a set value, however, the defence is frustrated, as is the P&I cover. This <strong>in</strong>suranceis designed to cover the additional liability.DescriptionIn most <strong>in</strong>stances the B/L describes the cargo as a quantity. Accord<strong>in</strong>gly, the shipowner is able to defend anyclaims and limit his liability under the pert<strong>in</strong>ent rules for the B/L (the Hague-Visby Rules).Some valuable cargo, however, may be described by add<strong>in</strong>g its value. This frustrates the defence under theHague-Visby Rules (or others) and the shipowner can only limit liability to the cargo value - which will bemuch <strong>in</strong> excess of ord<strong>in</strong>ary limits.P&I rules also exclude cover exceed<strong>in</strong>g defence under the Hague-Visby Rules. This means that the shipownerrequires additional cover. Ad Valorem covers such additional liabilities.

Increased Value/Hull InterestNarrativeHav<strong>in</strong>g covered a vessel’s market value under Hull <strong>in</strong>surance, an owner also needs to cover the additionalcosts associated with replac<strong>in</strong>g a lost ship, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g sundries such as office expenses, Increased Value/HullInterest cover meets these requirements.DescriptionTraditionally, under the “Mar<strong>in</strong>e Insurance Act”, Hull <strong>in</strong>surance covered the market value of the ship and, atthe same time, the shipowner’s “<strong>in</strong>surable <strong>in</strong>terest”. Any cover <strong>in</strong> excess of market value was prohibited.Shipowners successfully demonstrated, however, that there were additional costs associated with replacement,beyond market value. It is now recognised that the assured has an additional <strong>in</strong>surable <strong>in</strong>terest, <strong>in</strong>excess of the vessel’s market value and <strong>in</strong> excess of the Hull <strong>in</strong>surance. Hull Interest cover was <strong>in</strong>stituted asan excess cover, commonly known as “Increased Value” or “Hull Interest”. This was orig<strong>in</strong>ally conf<strong>in</strong>ed to TotalLoss Only cover, only pay<strong>in</strong>g the agreed amount when the vessel was a total loss accord<strong>in</strong>g to the Hull <strong>in</strong>surancecover. A limit of a maximum <strong>in</strong>surable <strong>in</strong>terest of 25% of hull <strong>in</strong>surance value was agreed.With the markets provid<strong>in</strong>g covers for Hull and Increased Value, with a lower premium level for the totalloss element <strong>in</strong> Increased Value, shipowners realised they could save premium costs by us<strong>in</strong>g Increased ValueCover to also cover, <strong>in</strong> part, the ship’s market value.In turn, this gave rise to a situation <strong>in</strong> which the vessel became under-<strong>in</strong>sured on Hull. As a result, the Hull<strong>in</strong>surer reduced compensation for liabilities, salvage and general average claims. In order to counter thisreduction <strong>in</strong> the Hull cover, Increased Value/Hull Interest also covers “Excess Liabilities” - that is, the proportionreduced by the Hull <strong>in</strong>surer due to the perceived under-<strong>in</strong>surance <strong>in</strong> the Hull cover.<strong>The</strong>refore, the Increased Value/Hull Interest cover can be used to cover, <strong>in</strong> part, the vessel’s market value.It is common for the <strong>in</strong>sured value under Hull <strong>in</strong>surance, together with the amount covered under IncreasedValue/Hull Interest, to exceed market value, so as to absorb market value fluctuations dur<strong>in</strong>g the policy year.If the assured seeks to cover additional <strong>in</strong>terests, <strong>in</strong> excess of market value and Increased Value/Hull Interestcover, he may elect to purchase Freight Interest cover.A claim will be met if Hull <strong>in</strong>surance has declared a total loss, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g constructive/compromised totalloss. <strong>The</strong> limit for Increased Value/Hull Interest cover is set at 25% of the <strong>in</strong>sured value under Hull <strong>in</strong>surance.Under English and American hull conditions, the assured must be granted a waiver of the disbursementwarranty, which limits any excess covers to 25% of the Hull <strong>in</strong>sured value, should he elect to cover anyth<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong> excess of the limit.This note is a general description of Increased Value/Hull Interest.

Freight InterestNarrativeMany shipowners cover vessel market value through Hull <strong>in</strong>surance and Increased Value/Hull Interest <strong>in</strong>surance.In order to cover additional costs <strong>in</strong> replac<strong>in</strong>g a lost vessel - and to cover anticipated earn<strong>in</strong>gs on futurefreight - Freight Interest cover provides the necessary protection.DescriptionThis cover has an <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g and rather complex history. Traditionally - under the Mar<strong>in</strong>e Insurance Act - Hull<strong>in</strong>surance covered the market value of the ship and, at the same time, the shipowner’s “<strong>in</strong>surable <strong>in</strong>terest”.Any cover <strong>in</strong> excess of market value was prohibited.Shipowners successfully demonstrated, however, that there were additional costs associated with replacement,beyond market value. It is now recognised that the assured has an additional <strong>in</strong>surable <strong>in</strong>terest, <strong>in</strong>excess of the vessel’s market value and <strong>in</strong> excess of the Hull <strong>in</strong>surance. Hull Interest cover was <strong>in</strong>stituted asan excess cover, commonly known as “Increased Value”. This cover was orig<strong>in</strong>ally conf<strong>in</strong>ed to Total Loss Onlycover, only pay<strong>in</strong>g the agreed amount when the vessel was a total loss accord<strong>in</strong>g to the Hull <strong>in</strong>surance cover.A limit of a maximum <strong>in</strong>surable <strong>in</strong>terest of 25% of hull <strong>in</strong>surance value was agreed.With markets provid<strong>in</strong>g covers for Hull and Increased Value, with a lower premium level for the total losselement <strong>in</strong> Increased Value, shipowners realised they could save premium costs by us<strong>in</strong>g Increased Value coverto also cover, <strong>in</strong> part, the ship’s market value.In turn, this gave rise to a situation <strong>in</strong> which shipowners had no access to additional cover for the orig<strong>in</strong>alextra costs <strong>in</strong> f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g a replacement vessel. Furthermore, it was realised that a vessel would provide <strong>in</strong>comefor the shipowner throughout its lifespan. In contrast, a ship which is lost would deprive the shipowner of thisfuture <strong>in</strong>come. In response to this problem, many markets agreed to cover Freight Interest, on top of Hull andIncreased Value covers.Freight Interest is a pure Total Loss Only cover. It has always to be <strong>in</strong> excess of vessel market value. <strong>The</strong> limit isset at 25% of <strong>in</strong>sured value under the Hull <strong>in</strong>surance. Under English and American hull conditions, the assuredhas to be granted a waiver of the disbursement warranty, which limits any excess covers to 25% of the hull<strong>in</strong>sured value.This note is a general description of Freight Interest.

If a ship is lost dur<strong>in</strong>g the voyage, freight will notbe paid. <strong>The</strong> same applies when part of the freight is at risk.Another exposure is liability <strong>in</strong> a general average or salvage situation.

Stores and ProvisionsNarrativeHull <strong>in</strong>surance cover excludes consumables, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g stores and provisions on board the vessel. <strong>The</strong> value ofsuch consumables may be protected by Stores and Provisions cover.DescriptionMost Hull and Mach<strong>in</strong>ery conditions exclude cover for stores, cash and provisions, and <strong>in</strong> some situations alsofor bunkers. <strong>The</strong> primary reason is to avoid lengthy <strong>in</strong>vestigations of the extent of the loss, as consumables onboard vary over time. <strong>The</strong>se items can represent an <strong>in</strong>terest worth cover<strong>in</strong>g by <strong>in</strong>surance.Stores and Provisions cover is designed to protect the value of bunkers, stores, cash and provisions (bunkersmust be owned by the assured).

In such cases, the charterer can cover this exposure by separate bunkers <strong>in</strong>surance.Stores and Provisions Cover <strong>in</strong>cludes damage due to fire, heavy weather, ground<strong>in</strong>g, collision, crew negligence,etc (also <strong>in</strong> circumstances other than total loss).

Loss of HireNarrative<strong>The</strong> time occupied by repairs can amount to a significant loss for the shipowner. Freight rates are lost s<strong>in</strong>cethe vessel is off-hire and capital and operational costs are still due. Loss of Hire cover is designed to reducethis loss.DescriptionSome casualties may result <strong>in</strong> a significant period off-hire and loss of earn<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> the freight market. <strong>The</strong>selosses can be heavy. If the vessel is on time charter, the charterer will put the vessel off-hire. <strong>The</strong> owner muststill meet crew and capital costs. This exposure represents an <strong>in</strong>surable loss.Loss of Hire cover is based on days (or part of days) when the vessel is off-hire due to a claim recoverableunder Hull and Mach<strong>in</strong>ery <strong>in</strong>surance. When the period exceeds an agreed number of days - commonly 14 days- the assured has a valid claim under the cover. <strong>The</strong>re is also a set upper limit per claim, specify<strong>in</strong>g the numberof days the assured is paid under the <strong>in</strong>surance (normally 60, 90 or 180 days). <strong>The</strong>re is also an overall limit perpolicy year.Should a vessel exceed the set number of days per year at an early stage <strong>in</strong> the life of the cover, there isnormally a possibility for the assured to re-<strong>in</strong>state the cover, by purchas<strong>in</strong>g new cover for the rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>gperiod of the policy year.Many mortgagees now require shipowners to have this cover, but there is also an opportunity to cover aloss or a good charter rate. <strong>The</strong> amount paid per day is agreed and this often reflects the vessel’s currentfreight rate.<strong>The</strong> <strong>in</strong>surance often <strong>in</strong>cludes War cover. In this way, Loss of Hire claims are covered if they result fromdamage covered by War Risks. <strong>The</strong> normal trad<strong>in</strong>g areas specified for War cover apply. <strong>The</strong>refore, the assuredmust declare breaches when trad<strong>in</strong>g to areas excluded <strong>in</strong> the War cover “Listed Areas” and pay an additionalpremium <strong>in</strong> such situations.This note is a general description of Loss of Hire.
