Both to Blame Collision Clause
An Institute Cargo Clause indemnifying the cargo owner against the cost of reimbursing the shipowner who is compelled under foreign law to pay 50 per cent of a third party’s cargo loss to a third party shipowner following a collision in which both were blameworthy. Under US law the shipowners are held of equal blame and the cargo owner can recover in full from the third party shipowner who then recovers 50 per cent from the ship carrying the cargo. Provisions in the running down clause prevent the shipowner recovering in full under the hull policy, nor is the Protection and Indemnity Club liable, causing the shipowner to pass the risk to the cargo owner under the affreightment.
