Marine Insurance delivers a valuable briefing on this important sector.

In addition, it details the nuances of particular versus general average and covers indemnity and third-party liability.
Looking at policies, Marine Insurance considers facultative cargo insurance and cargo and time clauses in great detail. It includes policies and standalone Institute cargo clauses in full for a better understanding of the complexities involved. Claims are examined, and the concepts of actual total loss, constructive total loss and compromised total loss explained in detail.
