Our Advices
- To deliver on your duty of making a fair presentation of the risk to insurers containing all material circumstances which you know or ought to have known
- If you are in doubt as to whether information is material, it is best to disclose it since rarely disclosure will prejudice you, whereas non-disclosure certainly will.
- Disclosure to include:
– Loss history
– For chartered vessels, the P & I club certificate and a copy of the class register certificate
– Any material fact
A material fact is one that is likely to influence the judgment of an insurer when determining whether to provide a business with cover and at what premium.
- To protect the rights of recovery of the insurer as per your contractual obligation
- To immediately inform your insurance broker of any claim in order to be guided properly
- To have the incoterms in mind when you take decisions on your insurance
- To mitigate losses promptly as if you were not insured
