Mariner's Guide to Marine Insurance

This concise guide is itself a kind of insurance for it lays the foundation of knowledge and understanding for seastaff to take the correct action to mitigate or indeed where appropriate absolve the owner of liability following an incident. The book covers the financial cost of claims; it looks at the differing insurance requirements of the shipowner, charterer and cargo owner. It then describes the underlying rules as prescribed in the 1906 Marine Insurance Act and demonstrates how the principles are applied to Hull and Machinery and Protection and Indemnity insurance. There is an examination of Freight Demurrage and Defence insurance and a chapter devoted to claims handling and the importance of evidence.
