Explanation : Barratry is wrongful act of the Master and/or crew to the detriment of the owners of the vessel, for example, scuttling, running the vessel ashore, setting the vessel on fire, etc. Explanation : The cover afforded by the Perils clause is the consequential loss or damage arising from the operation of the specified perils. The part that breaks is not recoverable unless the breakage of the part itself has been caused by a specified peril. For example, if the tail-shaft broke and as a consequence, damaged the propeller, only the cost of repairing the propeller will be recoverable. But if the tail-shaft broke as a result of, say, the negligence of repairers, the replacement of the tail-shaft would also be recoverable. However, it is possible to cover Additional perils under the Institute Additional Perils Clause Hulls 1.10.1983 subject to extra premium whereby the insurance is extended to cover the cost of repairing or replacing: Any boiler which bursts or shaft that breaksAny defective part which has caused the loss or damage to the vesselLoss or damage to the vessel caused by any accident, negligence, incompetence or error of judgment of any person whatsoever.The Additional Perils Clause however will not cover any part Which is found to be defective as a result or fault or error in the design or construction of the vessel, andThat which has not caused any consequential damage.Institute Voyage Policy : Institute Voyage Clauses cover a vessel for a particular voyage rather than a specific period of time.
