Appendix I: Clauses
This Appendix contains full wordings of clauses which may be incorporated, where contractually agreed, in the terms and conditions on which a ship is entered in the Association by, or on behalf of the Owner, by means of a short form reference to such clause in the Certificate of Entry or in an Endorsement Slip.
Attention is drawn to Rule 5L & Rule 7 concerning the exclusion of the Insurance Act 2015.
This entry is extended to cover the Owner’s liabilities, incurred as space charterer of a Consortium Vessel operating in a consortium identified in the Certificate of Entry/Endorsement, arising out of the carriage of cargo and excluding any physical damage to such a Consortium Vessel, its equipment or containers on board, but only where space is exchanged or shared on a reciprocal basis as defined below. This entry is subject to the Rules and the terms and conditions of entry of the entered ship and the aggregate amount recoverable from the Association under this entry in respect of all claims arising out of any one event, or (for cargo claims) any one cargo voyage, is limited:
a) in respect of all entered ships employed in the consortium to a maximum of US$350 million,
b) where the Owner has ships entered in the Association and any other insurer which is a party to the Pooling Agreement, to that proportion of a maximum of US$350 million as the claims incurred by the Association bear to the claims incurred by the Association and any such other insurers.
PROVIDED ALWAYS that for any and all claims in respect of oil pollution, the aggregate amount recoverable by the Owner in respect of any one entered ship and any Consortium Vessel shall not exceed US$1,000 million any one event, and shall be subject to provisos (a) and (b) of Rule 5(B)(ii) and to Rule 5(B)(iv).
An exchange or sharing a space will be on a reciprocal basis if the intention is that the space given and taken is broadly in balance.
