Chapter 17: Insurance for fishing vessels

  • General

    Chapter 17 was fundamentally altered in the 2019 Version. The Chapter contains solely the rules relating to insurance of fishing vessels, and contains conditions for hull insurance (Sections 2 and 3), catch and equipment insurance (Sections 4 and 5) and loss of hire insurance for fishing vessels (Section 6). This Section is not applicable unless it has been explicitly agreed that the insurance is also to cover loss of hire. 

    All the insurances under this Chapter are subject to the rules in part I of the Plan (Chapters 1 to 9).

    The rules for other types of vessels with limited trading areas are singled out in a new Chapter 20. The same goes for the liability insurance, former Section 6 of this Chapter. This insurance is also singled out as a standalone cover in the new Chapter 21.
