Covid-19のため、人の移動と港湾のオペレーションが規制下に置かれている現状、当クラブのメンバーは、乗組員交代のため通常の航路から離れることを余儀なくされるかもしれません。地理的な離路によって、保険約款下での相互保険カバーの対象外となる損害賠償が追加発生した場合、船舶所有者はディフェンスの権利を失うリスクがあります。この問題に対処するため、当クラブは、当クラブのすべての相互保険メンバーに、離路が乗組員交代のためだけに発生した場合であれば、いかなる貨物の損害賠償についても追加で補償を提供しています。
With Covid-19 restrictions on travel and port operations, UK Club Members may be required to deviate from normal voyage routes to exchange crew.
Geographic deviations can put a shipowner at risk of losing certain defences or rights of limitation when facing cargo claims, resulting in additional cargo liabilities which fall outside normal mutual cover under the Rules. To address this issue, the Club is now offering all UK Club mutual Members an additional cover for any cargo liabilities arising solely due to deviations for crew changes.
Whilst the Club cannot cover operational costs such as fuel or loss of time, the additional deviation insurance can help facilitate crew changes.
The addition cover is offered at no additional premium. To apply for the additional cover please contact your Underwriting Department contact.
More about P&I cover and the covid-19 pandemic is available in the FAQ section of the Club’s website, here.
A dedicated section of the website is being continuously updated about crew changes and can be found here.
