Managers at the time such exclusions take effect.
vii If, at any time before the final instalment of Mutual Premium in respect of a
policy year has become payable, it shall appear to the Directors unlikely that the
whole of such Mutual Premium is required for the purposes set out in Rule 10:
a the Directors may resolve to reduce the amount of Mutual Premium payable in
respect of that Policy Year; and
40
b the liability of a Member under paragraph ii of this Rule to pay Mutual
Premium shall be reduced accordingly.

the opinion of the Managers to pay and/or secure that Member’s liability for

of the following ways:
a the Directors, when considering the amount of the Mutual Premium or any
Additional Premium for any Policy Year or at any time or times thereafter, may
resolve that any specified amount or proportion of such premium shall be
applied for the purposes of any reserve or account;
b the Directors may, on the closing of any Policy Year or at any time or times
thereafter resolve that any specified amount or proportion of the funds
standing to the credit of that Policy Year shall be applied for the purposes of
any such reserve or account.

terms set out below consequent upon collision between an entered ship and

Members should consult with their brokers and/or ship valuers in order to
assess, in the light of the above, the amount for which insurances should be
effected to cover collision and general average or salvage liabilities. Provided

Hague Rules and (i) Unless and to the extent that the Directors in their discretion otherwise
Hague-Visby determine or special terms have been agreed in writing by the Managers, there
Rules shall be no recovery from the Club in respect of any liabilities, costs and
expenses which would not have been incurred or become payable by the
Member if the cargo had been carried under a bill of lading or other contract of
carriage incorporating terms no less favourable to the carrier than the Hague
Rules or Hague-Visby Rules.
Note: A Member should ensure wherever possible that any bill of lading or
other contract of carriage to which any other is the contracting party contains
a provision in the same or substantially the same form as the “Himalaya”
clause set out under the ‘Clauses Recommended by the Association’ at the
end of the Rules, extending any exemptions and immunities of the carrier to
that Member, and to each of his servants, agents and sub-contractors.

is the Member to any other person under the Member’s bill of lading or other
contract of carriage, or
74
would otherwise have been entitled and cause him to incur a greater liability
than he would have done but for such declaration/insertion, to the extent that
–X
such liability thereby exceeds United States dollars two thousand five hundred
ULEX25

RRULE
piece or package, unless the contract of carriage has been approved in writing
by the Managers on such terms as they may require.
Refrigerated (vi) The Managers may at any time require to be satisfied as to the spaces,
Cargo plant and apparatus, and means used for the carriage of refrigerated cargo in
an entered ship, the instructions given to those on board and the terms of the
contract of carriage under which the same is to be carried, and the Member
shall upon such request supply the relevant information to the Managers. In the

writing, there shall be no recovery from the Club in respect of any loss of or
damage to such refrigerated cargo carried upon any voyage which began after
the service on the Member of such notice.
Member’s Own (vii) If the cargo in respect of which a claim is made on the Club under
Cargo paragraphs a–d of this Rule 25 xiii is owned by the Member, the Member shall
be entitled to recover from the Club and the Club Rules shall apply in all
respects as if such cargo belonged to a third party, and that third party had
concluded a contract of carriage of the cargo with the Member on the terms of
the Club's recommended standard terms of carriage as referred to in proviso (i)
above.
Discretionary (viii) Unless and to the extent that the Directors shall in their absolute discretion
Claims otherwise determine (and in any event only if they are satisfied that the
Member took such steps as appear to those Directors to be reasonable to avoid
the event or circumstances giving rise to such liabilities, costs and expenses),
there shall be no recovery from the Club under paragraphs a–d of this Rule 25
xiii in respect of the Member’s liabilities, costs or expenses arising out of:
(a) the discharge of the cargo or any part thereof at any port or place
other than a port or place permitted by the relevant contract of carriage;
(b) the delivery of cargo carried on an Entered Ship under a negotiable bill
of lading or similar document of title (including an electronic bill of lading)
without the production (or the equivalent thereof in the case of an electronic
bill of lading) of that bill of lading or document by the person to whom delivery
is made, except where cargo has been carried on an Entered Ship:
(i) under the terms of a non-negotiable bill of lading, waybill or other non-
negotiable document, and despite having been properly delivered as required
by that document, liability nevertheless arises under the terms of a negotiable
bill of lading or other similar document of title (issued by or on behalf of a party
other than the Member) providing for carriage in part upon the Entered Ship
and in part upon another ship or by another mode of transport, or
(ii) under the terms of an approved electronic trading system and has been
properly delivered to the person so entitled in accordance therewith;
75
Member is obliged by law to deliver, or relinquish custody or control of, the
cargo, without production of such document;

(d) the issue of an ante dated or post dated bill of lading, waybill or other
document containing or evidencing the contract of carriage;

cargoes in an entered ship otherwise than under a bill of lading already issued.
Loss of Freight or (ix) Loss of freight or hire or any proportion thereof, or claims for demurrage
Hire, Detention on, detention of, or delay to an Entered Ship shall be recoverable under this
or Demurrage Rule 25 xiii if, but only if, such loss or claim forms part of a claim for liabilities
in respect of cargo or is, with the consent of the Managers, included in the
settlement of a claim;
Deck Cargo (x) Unless and to the extent otherwise agreed in writing by the Managers,
there shall be no recovery from the Club in respect of liabilities for loss,
shortage, damage or other responsibility arising out of the carriage of cargo on
deck unless the cargo and the ship are, in the opinion of the Managers, suitable
for carriage on deck and the Bill of Lading or other contract of carriage:
(a) states that the cargo is carried on deck and either provides that the
carrier is free from all liability for loss of or damage to cargo or provides the
carrier with rights, immunities and limitations no less favourable than those
contained in the Hague Rules or Hague-Visby Rules; or
(b) contains an appropriate liberty to carry cargo on deck and provides for
the Hague Rules or the Hague-Visby Rules to apply to such cargo.
Note: A suitably worded deck cargo carriage clause may exclude liability for
deck cargo where the Hague Rules or Hague-Visby Rules do not apply. Two
examples are set out under the ‘Clauses Recommended by the Association’ at
the end of the Rules. A clause giving general permission to carry on deck may
not be “an appropriate liberty” for the purposes of paragraph (b) of proviso
(x) to this Rule 25 xiii. The Managers will on request but at the Member’s
expense endeavour to arrange an insurance to cover the Member’s liability in
respect of cargo carried otherwise than in accordance with paragraphs (a)
and (b) of proviso (x) to this Rule 25 xiii.
Exclusion of (xi) There shall be no recovery under this Rule 25 xiii in respect of:

determine.
Heavy Lift Cargo (xii) There shall be no recovery from the Club in respect of loss of or damage to
or wreck removal of cargo carried on a semi-submersible heavy lift vessel or any
other vessel designed exclusively for the carriage of heavy lift cargo, save to the
extent that such cargo is being carried under the terms of a contract on
Heavycon terms or on such terms as the Managers may otherwise agree in
writing.
Livestock (xiii) Unless and to the extent otherwise agreed in writing by the Managers,
there shall be no recovery from the Club under paragraphs a-d of this Rule 25
xiii in respect of any liabilities, costs and expenses arising out of or incurred in
consequence of the intended or actual carriage of live animals.
Cargo’s Proportion xiv Contribution by cargo or some other party to the maritime adventure to
of General general average, special charges or salvage which is not legally
Average recoverable solely by reason of a breach of the contract of carriage;
a Provisos (i)–(xii) to Rule 25 xiii shall apply to any claim under this Rule 25 xiv;
b Any cargo allowance stated in the adjustment, but for which credit has not in
fact been taken by cargo, shall be deducted.
Ship’s Proportion xv A Member shall be entitled to recover the entered ship’s proportion of general
of General average, special charges or salvage not recoverable under the Hull Policies by
Average reason of the value of the entered ship being assessed for contribution to

the Hull Policies;
b The Managers may reduce such recovery to the amount, if any, that would have
been irrecoverable under the ship’s Hull Policies had the ship been insured for
the proper value.
c At the request of a Member the Managers may, but shall not be obliged to,
agree for the purposes of this Rule 25 xv, the proper value for which an
entered ship should be insured under the Hull Policies for the current year.
Note: When considering the ‘proper value’ for which an entered ship should
be insured or deemed to be insured for the purpose of Rule 25 xv, the
Member must satisfy the Managers that the hull and machinery and/or excess
liability policies of the Member concerned have been subject to periodic
77
review as market conditions may require, so that the total amount of liability
coverage contained in these policies is maintained at a figure which is as near
as possible to the free uncommitted market value of the ship at the time of
RULE 25
Members should consult with their brokers and/or ship valuers in order to
assess, in the light of the above, the amount for which insurances should be
effected to cover collision and general average or salvage liabilities. Provided
that the necessary insurances are effected, on the basis of the advice
received, the Managers will give favourable consideration to a claim under
these Rules consequent upon assessment of the value of the ship by a Court
or Tribunal at an amount in excess of the insurances so effected.
Fines xvi Fines for which a Member is liable or for which a Member, with the approval of
the Managers, assumes responsibility, imposed in respect of an entered ship by

tribunal or authority by reason of the infringement of any customs law or
RRULE
customs regulation;
a The amount recoverable from the Club shall under no circumstances exceed the
market value of the ship without commitment at the date of the confiscation;
b The Owner shall have satisfied the Directors that he took such steps as appear
to the Directors to be reasonable to prevent the infringement of the customs
law or customs regulation giving rise to the confiscation;
c Any amount claimed under this Rule 25 xvii shall be recoverable to such extent

condition precedent to a Member’s right of recovery from the Club, provided
that the Directors shall have power in their absolute discretion to admit in
whole or in part a claim, notwithstanding a breach of such condition. The
exercise of their discretion by the Directors shall be final and conclusive for all

been provided by the Club on its behalf and to appoint any person on behalf of
the Member for this purpose.

preservation and production of evidence relevant to such claim or other matter
and will use its best endeavours to make witnesses within its control or power
available for interview, deposition and/or giving evidence as required.

under which the Club agrees to reinsure the risks arising in connection with any
one or more ships insured by another insurer or else agrees to reinsure the
whole or any part or proportion of the insurance business of any other insurer.
The premium payable to the Club and the terms and conditions on which the
reinsurance is accepted by the Club shall be such as are agreed between the
Managers and such other insurer.
ii The Club may continue to be a party to the Pooling Agreement or to any other
agreement of a similar nature or purpose.
iii The Managers shall have the right in their discretion to effect on behalf of the
Club the reinsurance or ceding of any risks insured by the Club (including any
risk which may fall on the Club by reason of a reinsurance or the Pooling
Agreement referred to in paragraphs i or ii of this Rule) with such reinsurers
and on such terms as the Managers shall consider appropriate.
iv The Club shall cease to have any liability whatsoever to the Member in respect
of that part of any liabilities, costs and expenses which are reinsured under, but
not recovered by the Club from parties to, any reinsurance contract or
arrangement , including but not limited to the Pooling Agreement, and/or the
Group Excess Loss Reinsurance Contract because of a shortfall in recovery from
such parties or reinsurers thereunder by reason of a sanction, prohibition or
adverse action against them by a State or International Organisation or other
competent authority or the risk thereof if payment were to be made by such
parties or reinsurers.
If the Club has indemnified the Member (and/or made payment pursuant to a
Certificate of Financial Responsibility or any other guarantee issued to or on
behalf of a Member, pursuant to Rule 43 or otherwise) in respect of any
liabilities, costs and expenses which are reinsured hereunder, and there is
subsequently a shortfall in recovery from such parties or reinsurers thereunder
by reason of a sanction, prohibition or adverse action against them by a State
or International Organisation or the risk thereof if payment were to be made by
such parties or reinsurers, the Member shall repay to the Club on demand the
amount of any shortfall as certified by the Managers.

Note: A number of amendments have been made to the Rules to reflect the
introduction of sanctions and other similar legislation affecting the Club directly
or indirectly. The Managers draw particular attention to Rule 32 iv.
The Club:
i) From time to time, reinsures the risks insured under and/or pursuant to
these Rules; and
ii) Pools certain such risks with fellow member Clubs of the International
Group of P&I Clubs, and these pooled risks are also reinsured.
The effect of Rule 32 iv is that if there is such a shortfall in recovery, the Club
will be under no liability to the Member to that extent. If the Club has already
indemnified the Member, the Member will be liable to repay the Club any
shortfall in recovery under the Pooling Agreement/Group Excess Loss
reinsurance, or any other reinsurance contract or arrangement.
33 Lay Up i If an Entered Ship shall be without cargo and so remain safely laid up for a
period of 30 or more consecutive days after finally mooring at her port or place

Net Premium as follows:
a If the ship so remains at any safe port or place, with all her machinery shut
down, including the ship’s own generators, and with no crew or other persons
on board or on duty in the immediate vicinity of the vessel, except for the
minimum such persons necessary for the security and safety of the ship at her
place of lay up – at such rate of up to 90% of the Net Premium on a pro rata
daily basis as the Managers in their discretion may determine;
b If the ship so remains at any safe port or place, with her machinery operative, at
such rate of up to 50% of the Net Premium on a pro rata daily basis as the
Managers in their discretion may determine.
Provided always that:

the period of lay up, other than those required solely for the ship’s safety or
security at her place of lay up;
RULE 33
(ii) Notwithstanding proviso (i) above, the carrying out of routine maintenance
upon the ship during the period of lay up shall not preclude the Member from
claiming a return of Net Premium under Rule 33 i b above.
(iii) Where it appears likely that the vessel will be so laid up for a period of 30
or more consecutive days and whether or not an application for laid up returns
is made or anticipated to be made in accordance with this Rule:
(a) The Member must forthwith notify the Managers in writing in form
required by the Managers, specifying amongst other things the location, the
mooring and crewing arrangements and anticipated duration of such lay up;
(b) The Member shall be under a continuing duty to assess the safety of
the ship and the port or place of lay up and notify the Managers of any
material change of circumstances since the date of the notice referred to at (a)
above;
(c) The Managers shall have the option but not the obligation to arrange
a survey or other investigation to assess the safety of the ship and /or the place
of lay up, and the Member shall bear the costs of such survey or investigation

whatsoever in respect of the claim(s) or matter(s) for which the security is

claim(s) or matter(s) for which the security is provided are satisfied other than by
way of demand on the Club’s security.
iv The provision of bail or other security by the Club does not constitute any
admission of liability by the Club for any claim in respect of which the bail or
security is given. Insofar as the Club makes payment under or pursuant to any
bail, guarantee, certificate or security whatsoever provided by the Club, and the
amount of that payment or any part thereof would not have been payable by
the Club but for its provision of such security, the Member shall to that extent
forthwith indemnify the Club, and pay any costs incurred through or in
connection with the provision of such security.

all the Members concerned, it shall be deemed to be incorporated in these
Rules, and every Member shall conform thereto in so far as the same may apply
to the voyages performed by the ships entered by him or on his behalf in the
Club, or to the trades in which they may be engaged and if any Member shall
commit a breach of any Bye-Law, the Directors may reject or reduce any claim
made by the Member to the extent to which it would not have arisen if he had

policy year concerned and payment may be enforced by the Club;
d the Directors may decide that at such time as they may deem expedient any
policy year shall be closed, in which event if the contributions obtained as

outgoings falling upon the Club for that year, the Directors may either carry
that surplus in whole or in part to such reserve or reserves as the Directors think
105
proper or return it in whole or in part to the persons who made such
contributions rateably in proportion thereto;

costs, and the claim is afterwards compounded whether owing to the opposite
party’s inability to pay the full amount of the debt and the costs for which he is
liable or otherwise, the sum actually recovered shall, subject to the absolute
discretion of the Directors to order otherwise, be apportioned rateably between
the amount of the claim and costs which would otherwise have been recoverable.
