Περιγραφή μαθήματος |

This module is designed to familiarise the students with the operation of the international market for marine insurance. The UK’s Marine Insurance Act 1906 has been adopted in many jurisprudences, and many policies are written on standard wording developed in London by Lloyd’s, marine insurance companies and P&I Clubs. Students will examine the history of marine insurance, the operation of the market and the forms of insurance available to ship owners and cargo owners. The module introduces the basic concepts of marine insurance law, including insurable interest, utmost good faith, the concept of indemnity and its consequences for insurers, as well as conventions concerning insurance cover of international interest, such as removal of wrecks. |
