This Clause was new in Version 2016 and is largely verbatim the same as Cl. 15-7 apart from an editorial amendment. Reference is made to the Commentary to Cl. 15-7.
Bareboat chartering is rather common in the offshore industry, and very often the bareboat charterer is co-insured either expressly or by virtue of Cl. 18-1, letter (i). If so, the war risks insurance will not terminate automatically according to Cl. 18-65. Such termination will only occur if the MOU is bareboat chartered without the consent of the war risks insurer to a third party outside the agreed group of assureds or co-assureds.
