NOTE

MARINE INSURANCE

TYPES OF MARINE INSURANCE POLICIES

(i)Voyage Policies: This is a policy that covers a particular or specific

voyage or journey, e.g. China to Nigeria. The ship will be insured to cover a

journey from one place to another; any deviation from this specified route

will not be covered.

(ii) Time Policies: This is a policy that covers the ship and cargo for a

specific period, usually a year. In case the policy expires o sea, there will

be a continuation clause to cover it until the ship arrives at its destination.

(iii) Voyage and Time Policy or mixed Policies: This is a policy that covers

the subject matter for the voyage and a period of time thereafter, e.g. while

in ports.

(iv) Valued Policies: This is a policy that specifies the value of the goods,

and the holder of such a policy receives specified sum in the event of a

total loss, irrespective of its value at the time of the loss.

(v) Unvalued Policies: This is a policy that provides for claims based on the

value of the goods at the time of the loss. The policy does not state the

original value of goods.

(vi) Floating Policies: This is a policy used by traders who make frequent

shipments of cargo. The cover applies to any shipment made by the holder

who makes a declaration as to the precise amount involved with individual

shipments. This declaration is set against the floating policy, reducing the

sum insured by that amount until the full sum insured is exhausted.

(vii) Construction Policy: This is a policy that covers the construction of a

marine vessel.

(viii) Open Cover Policy: This is a form of insurance (agreement by a

marine insurer) in which the insurer agrees to insure all shipments of cargo

made during an agreed period.

(ix) Fleet policy: This is a policy which covers a fleet of ships under one

ownership.

TERMINOLOGIES USED IN MARINE INSURANCE

  1. Cabin: Small room on a ship or boat where people sleep.
  2. Salvage loss: Where actual total loss occurred, when they have been

sold before reaching the destination, or there is a constructive total loss,

the usual form of settlement is that the net sale proceeds will be paid to the

assured. The net sale proceeds are calculated by deducting expenses of

the sale from the amount realized by the sale. The insured will recover from

the insurer the total loss less the net amount of sale. This amount received

from the insurer is called a ‘salvage loss’.

  1. Particular charges: The clause requires the insurers to pay any

expenses properly incurred by the assured or his agents in preventing or

minimizing loss or damage to the subject-matter by an insured peril.
