Seaworthiness
The reasonable fitness of a vessel in all respects to encounter the ordinary perils of the contemplated voyage, properly crewed, provisioned and equipped. Seaworthiness is implied in voyage policies, but not in time policies. A shipowner’s right of claim under a time policy is prejudiced if he knowingly goes to sea in an unseaworthy condition. Cargo policies waive breach of the warranty except where the insured is privy to the unseaworthiness.
Seaworthiness admitted clause
Cargo clause whereby the insurer admits that no claim will be repudiated on the grounds of unseaworthiness. The clause does not prevent the insurer from proceeding, in the name of the insured, against a carrier who is liable for the loss. The clause also ensures that the insured is not prejudiced by the carrier’s wrongful act.
