NOTE

MARINE INSURANCE

MARINE PERILS

  1. Perils of the Sea

They refer to all risks, perils and dangers peculiar to the sea. They include

accidents, capture of the ship or its cargo by pirates, losses by collision,

etc. A point to note here is that losses caused by perils of the sea cannot

be prevented by any reasonable care, skill and diligence on the part of

human beings. Thus, if a ship hits a sunken rock and sinks or collides with

another ship and suffers a loss, it is a case of loss by perils of the sea.

Other examples of such loss are:

a. Loss of cargo as a result of sea water entering the ship through a hole

made by rats in the bottom of the ship.

b. Loss resulting from negligent navigation provided it was caused by a

peril of the sea.

c. Loss of cargo due to heat produced by the closing of ventilators to

prevent the entry of sea water on rough weather.

 

  1. Fire

Fire is one of the most common perils of the sea and the underwriter is

liable for loss caused by it.

 

  1. Enemies:

Enemy literally means one who tries or wishes to harm or attack or one

who has ill feeling or hatred towards another. It includes all damages or

losses sustained owing to the hostile acts of an enemy.

Enemies include all types of ships belonging to the foe or enemy countries

and to their hostile acts, provided such acts formed part of the enemy

campaign.

 

  1. Jettison

Jettisoning is the voluntary and intentional throwing overboard or away a

part of the cargo or part of vessel’s equipment for the purpose of lightening

or relieving the ship in case of necessity or emergency to have a safe

adventure or voyage. If the cargo or any other thing is thrown overboard

accidentally or fortuitously, then it does not constitute jettison.

 

  1. Barratry

It refers to every wrongful act willfully committed by the master or crew to

the prejudice of the owner without the connivance of the owner.

 

  1. Men-of-war

It refers to vessels authorized and maintained by nations for the purpose of

defense or attack in the event of hostilities and the loss arising out of

collision against a man-of-war is covered in a policy.

  1. Pirates, Rovers, Thieves
  2. Arrest

It means forcibly taking away of the vessel and refers to political or

executive acts.
