Calls

A. The Owners who have entered ships for insurance in the Association in respect of any policy year (not being a policy year closed in accordance with Rule 25) otherwise than on terms that a fixed premium shall be payable in respect of such ship, shall provide by way of Calls to be levied from such Owners all funds which in the opinion of the Directors are required:

i. To meet such of the general expenses of the Associations (or any of them) as the Directors may from time to time think fit to charge against the insurance business of the Associations in respect of such policy year;
ii. To meet the claims, expenses and outgoings (whether incurred, accrued or anticipated) of the insurance and/or reinsurance business of the Associations (or any of them) in respect of such policy year (including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any such excess of the claims and other outgoings in respect of fixed premium entries over the premiums payable to the Associations (or any of them) in respect thereof as the Directors may charge to such policy year, and any proportion of any claims, expenses or outgoings of any insurer other than the Associations which has fallen or which may be thought likely to fall upon the Associations (or any of them) by virtue of any reinsurance or pooling agreement concluded between the Associations (or any of them) and such other insurer);
iii. For such transfers to the contingency account, catastrophe or other reserves of the Associations (or any of them) (as referred to in Rule 24) and for subsequent application for the purposes of such reserves or otherwise as the Directors may think expedient;
iv. For such transfers as the Directors may think proper to meet any deficiency which has occurred or may be thought likely to occur in any closed policy year or years of the Associations (or any of them).

B. The said Calls shall be levied by means of Mutual Premium, Supplementary Premium and Overspill Calls in accordance with the provisions of Rules 20 to 22.
