Notice must be given to the Association before an Entered Ship proceeds into an Additional Premium area. The Association will endeavour to provide indications of Additional Premium levels at any time but firm quotations will not normally be available until the Entered Ship is within 48 hours of arrival into the Additional Premium area.

Insured Values and Sums Insured

Members are reminded of the need to review the Insured Values and Sums Insured which should be the same as those for which the Entered Ship is insured for total loss under marine policies, normally the insured value on Hull and Machinery, plus where applicable any amount insured on Disbursements and/or Increased Value or Freight. Any interest which is insured against total loss risks only under marine policies should be declared under Rule 3 so that the War Risk insurances exactly reflect the non-War Risk insurances for the same interests.

The maximum value or amount insured under Rule 2 and Rule 3 in the aggregate will be £390,000,000 or equivalent any one Entered Ship.

The limit of liability in equivalent currencies for claims is:

US$ 600,000,000

Euros 510,000,000

Can $ 780,000,000

Members are also reminded of the provisions of Rule 11 whereby the Secretary of State for Transport may restrict the Insured Value of the Entered Ship for Queen’s Enemy Risks in certain circumstances.

Protection and Indemnity risks

The Association’s limit of liability for all claims under Rule 2 Part D (Protection and Indemnity risks) is to remain £325,000,000 or equivalent each Entered Ship any one accident or series of accidents arising out of any one event, except as stated below. This limit includes Members’ claims for Sue and Labour. If any Member considers that these limits provide insufficient cover, additional cover in excess of the sums covered by this Association may be available from his P&I Club. The limit of liability in equivalent currencies for claims under Rule 2 Part D is:

US$ 500,000,000

Euros 425,000,000

Can $ 650,000,000

According to the currency of the Insured Values and amounts declared by the Member for the purposes of Rule 2 Parts A and B and Rule 3.

Alteration of risk

Members must advise the Association prior to any change in the port of registry of an Entered Ship as this may affect rating and terms of cover.

Insurance Mediation Directive.

As applies at present, where the insurance is to be placed on behalf of the owners by a third party intermediary as defined under the EU Insurance Mediation Directive (2002/92/EC), the Association will require the intermediary’s confirmation that they are authorised by the relevant authority in their place of business under the terms of this Directive. Intermediaries are reminded that this applies whether or not they are also coinsured under such insurances.
