Clause 18-59. Perils covered
This Clause was amended in 2023 by adding a new sub-clause 3.
Sub-clauses 1 and 2 are verbatim the same as Cl. 15-1. Reference is made to the Commentary to Cl. 15-1.
Section 5 will only apply if it has been agreed that the insurance of the MOU also covers war perils. If the insurance contract is silent on whether it covers marine or war perils, the presumption according to Cl. 2-10 is that the insurance only covers marine perils. Therefore, it must be expressly agreed if the insurance of the MOU shall cover war risks. War risks insurance may be covered separately or in combination with marine perils cover.
Sub-clause 3 states that the insurance does not cover objects in storage on land. The limitation is necessary because the war reinsurance market has not been willing to reinsure property whilst on land. For objects that has been on board and is brought on land for storage, the insurance cover will be terminated at the time of completion of the unloading of the object at the port, or if the object is moved from the MOU to the port by a hired vessel the insurance will be suspended for the object in question at completion unloading from the vessel at the port for onward land transit. The insurance will reattach again at the time of commencement of loading operations onto the MOU or onto a vessel for onward transport to the MOU. Commencement of loading being the time the object is first moved for loading.
