History of Marine Insurance

One of the earliest forms of insurance

Established in the Mediterranean Sea in 2,000BC

Emergence as distinct commercial agreements

66

Commercial

Agreements

Bottomory Respondentia

BOTTOMRY

Bottomry was a transaction protecting an owner from a financial loss if his ship was

destroyed.

88

Respondentia

In Respondentia the ship’s cargo ,rather than the ship itself, was the subject of the loan.

A merchant, placing a cargo on a ship, would take out a loan using cargo as a collateral.

Therefore,

Marine Insurance

“Marine Insurance covers the loss or damage of ships, cargo, terminals, and any transport or property by which cargo is transferred, acquired, or held between the points of origin and final destination.”

1111

Need For Insurance

Exporters and importers face all the time

uncertainties of loss of their goods.

Insurance is used to protect their financial

interests against such risks and actual losses.

Without adequate insurance and protection of the

interests of those with goods in transit,

international trade would be negatively affected.

1212

Subject Matter Insured

Every lawful marine adventure may be insured:

Cargo

Freight

Voyage

Ships

Goods

Movables

Ventures undertaken by a company

1313

Risks in Marine Insurance

Risks are of many kinds.

Different risks mean different losses,

and different risks are covered by different insurance clauses

and different insurance clauses mean different premiums.

So we need to have a good understanding of the different risks and losses before we know how to effect insurance.

1414

Risks …..

In marine insurance, risks fall into

Perils of the sea and

Extraneous risks

1515

Perils of the Sea

Perils of the sea can further be either natural calamity or fortuitous accidents:

Natural calamity refers to the perils such as vile weather, thunder storm and lightening, tsunami, earthquake, flood, volcanic eruption, etc.

Fortuitous Accidents are such risks as ship striking upon the rocks, ship sinking, ship collision, colliding with icebergs or other objects, fire, explosion, ship

missing, etc.

1616

Extraneous Risks

Extraneous risks can further be general extraneous risks and special extraneous risks.

Risks caused by theft, rain, leakage, breakage, dampness, heating, hooking and rusting are general extraneous risks.

Risks caused by war, strikes, failure of delivery etc. are special extraneous risks.

1717

Losses

Losses sustained by the insured due to the risks listed above come from not only the loss of the goods or the damage done to the goods, but also from the expenses the insured sustained in rescuing the goods in danger.

The losses and the damages done to the goods can fall into total loss and partial loss.

Total Loss includes Actual Total Loss and Constructive Total Loss.

Partial Loss means that the loss or damage done to the goods is only partial. Partial loss can be either general average or

particular average.

1818

Total Loss

Actual Total Loss

means the whole lot of the consignment has been lost or damaged or found valueless upon arrival at the port of destination.

Constructive Total Loss is found in the case where the actual total loss of the insured goods is unavoidable, or the ship or the consignment has to be abandoned because the cost of recovery would exceed the value of the ship and the consignment in sound condition upon the arrival of the port of destination.

1919

Partial Loss

General Average is in use when both the ship and the consignments on board are endangered and the captain intentionally and reasonably does some sacrifices or makes some expenses for the safety of the ship and the consignments on board.

Particular Average losses borne by the owner of the ship or cargo due to direct damage to their property.
