INTRODUCTION
All contracts of insurance made by the Association are subject to the Marine Insurance Act, 1906.
P&I Rule 6
THE MARINE INSURANCE ACT 1906
• MSA Section 39(5) - Warranties of Seaworthiness
• In a time policy:
There is no implied warranty that the ship shall be seaworthy at any stage of the adventure.
If the ship is sent to sea in an unseaworthy state, with the knowledge of the assured, the insurer is not liable for any loss attributable to unseaworthiness
See Rule 26(4)
THE MARINE INSURANCE ACT 1906
• Condition precedent
• No direct action
• P&I Rule 20
PAYMENT FIRST BY THE MEMBER
• Intended to give a right of direct action against insurer where insured becomes bankrupt or insolvent
• Third party only takes same rights as insured
• No rights for persons not party to the contract (Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999)
• Club’s Rules specify “Pay to be Paid”
• Therefore no direct action
THIRD PARTIES RIGHTS AGAINST INSURERS
SECURITY
• Discretionary
• Club Letters of Undertaking (CLU)
• Bank Guarantees
• No cash deposits (unless Directors authorise)

• In April 2002 the OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) released a policy statement on action needed to combat sub-standard ships.
• The OECD statement required the marine insurance industry to co-operate and to be in a position to identify deficiencies on insured ships that rendered those ships unsafe.
• As a result the IG P&I clubs set up a ship condition survey programme.
