Rule 27

Laid-up Returns

Subject to any terms and conditions which may have been agreed, if an entered ship shall be laid-up without cargo on board in any safe port or place for a period of thirty or more consecutive days after finally mooring there, (such period being computed from the day of arrival to the day of departure, one only being excluded) the Owner shall be allowed a return of Calls payable in respect of such ship for the period of lay-up, calculated at such rate and after deduction of such allowance for reinsurance, administrative expenses and other outgoings as the Managers may from time to time determine, save that there shall be no laid-up returns in respect of Overspill Calls.

For the purposes of this Rule,

a) the Managers shall have sole discretion in deciding whether the port or place involved is a safe port or place within the meaning of this Rule, and
b) no claim for laid-up returns relating to any policy year shall be recoverable from the Association unless written notice thereof has been given to the Association within three months of the end of the policy year concerned.
