OPEN COVER
 This is the most usual type of cargo
insurance, where a policy is drawn up to
cover a number of consignments. The policy
can be either for a specific value that
requires renewal once the insured amount
is exhausted or permanently open policy
that will be drawn up for an agreed period,
allowing any number of shipments during
this time PRESENTED BY T.S.SHRINIVAASAN OF MAR-

ASSESSORS PVT. LTD., 4
SPECIFIC (VOYAGE) POLICY
 As against the Open Cover, if a shipper or consignee
do not have regular exports or imports, they may take a
Specific (Voyage) Policy for a particular shipment .
While an Open Cover assures automatic insurance
coverage, however, Specific (Voyage) Policy since
covers particular shipment, seller or buyer depending
upon terms of sale(Inco Terms) have to approach
Insurer at appropriate time so that insurance coverage
is properly covered.

MARINE CLAIMS
• Insurance Product as you all know is intangible in
nature.
• Hope I do not to elaborate on intangible nature
• Product Marketing Vs Service Marketing
• Say for eg. When you sell a computer, you can give a
demonstration.
• Unfortunately this is lacking in Service Marketing.
• How difficult is Service Marketing ??
• Hats off to those involved in Service Marketing, be it
Freight or Insurance Products or Banking products.

MARINE CLAIMS MANAGEMENT
• Quality of an Insurance Product can be evaluated only
during claims management.
• As against , Product Marketing Tangible nature to
some extent can be felt only during claims handling
by an Insurer.
• Hence an efficient management Claims Management
is over emphasized.
• Claims Management is not an one man show and
unless all stake holders take active role.
• Let me add in following slides, Surveyor’s perspective.PRESENTED BY T.S.SHRINIVAASAN OF MAR-

Nature of Packing
 Packing plays vital role in Claims Handling.
 Whether the packing is customary or adequate in
nature to withstand transit hazards.
 Lloyds Hand Book of Survey gives customary packing
for various cargoes.
 Inadequacy or insufficiency in packing will place an
Insurer to repudiate the claim, vide General Exclusion
Clause, which we will see later.

Nature of damage/loss
 Here again detailed descriptive of nature of
damage or loss has to be insisted
 Damage is only a general term.
 Specific damage has to be described, like
drum dented/holed and part contents
spilt/leaked out.
 Similarly, machinery part dented/bent or
broken etc.
PRESENTED BY T.S.SHRINIVAASAN OF MAR-
TECH INSURANCE SURVEYORS & LOSS
ASSESSORS PVT. LTD., 13
Claim against the parties
responsible for loss/damage
 Insured must prefer claim against third parties
responsible for loss/damage like Transporter or Port
or Airport or CFS
 Very many Insureds ask, when they insure with
Insurance Company, why should they claim against
third parties ?
 This monetary claim against third parties will facilitate
Insurer to go for recovery. If Insurer’s recovery right is
not firmly protected, Insurer may settle a claim after
deducting certain percentage.

Case Study – Contd.
 On 28th November, 2011 consignee served a provisional
monetary claim on Ship’s Agents for a sum of USD
97000.71 as coils were received in rusty condition by
RPAD duly received by Agents on 29th November, 2011.
 On 30th November, 2011, we received survey intimation
from M/s. Ingosstrakh, P & I Claims Dept, Russia to
survey and report upon cause, nature and extent of
damage.
 By the time we received survey intimation, vessel had
already sailed, consignment cleared from Port and we
could only collect various information from Agents.
PRESENTED BY T.S.SHRINIVAASAN OF MAR-
TECH INSURANCE SURVEYORS & LOSS
ASSESSORS PVT. LTD., 24
Case Study – Contd.
 Salient facts collected:
1. Invoice dated 30th August, 2011.
2. Shipment loaded on board on 05th October, 2011 at
Shanghai.
3. B/L is clean without any clause.
4. Pre-shipment inspection by an Independent survey
Agency at Shanghai stated that cargo stored at open
yard covered by tarpaulin before shipment. Though
they recommended certain clause in M/R. However,
B/L was issued clean.
5. Disport Survey Report indicated cargo landed
apparently sound except load port remarks.
PRESENTED BY T.S.SHRINIVAASAN OF MAR-
TECH INSURANCE SURVEYORS & LOSS
ASSESSORS PVT. LTD., 25
Case Study – Contd.,
 Normally P & I Surveyors conduct Joint Survey within Port
premises along with other concerned surveyors.
 But in this case, since consignment already cleared from Port
premises and vessel also already sailed out, we informed
consignee that we will do survey strictly without prejudice
and independent in nature.
 We normally carry a bottle of Silver Nitrate Solution(0.01 N –
AgNo3) to ascertain saline reaction on rusty surface. In this
case spot Silver Nitrate Test showed negative saline reaction.
But besides spot test, we also drew wet packing materials and
rusty particles scrapped from coil for independent chemical
analysis. Chemical Analysis also confirmed negative saline
reaction.

Case Study – contd.
 Out of 20 Coils, 3 Coils were sound, 7 Coils partly rusty
and 10 coils severely rusty.
 Further from the degree of rust, it was not throughout
entire circular winding, but confined to section of
windings.
 Prior to our attendance, on 24th November, 2011,
Surveyors from Lloyds Agents carried out survey and
indicated loss seemed to be pre-shipment in nature.
 Accordingly, they repudiated claim.

TECH INSURANCE SURVEYORS & LOSS
ASSESSORS PVT. LTD., 28
Case Study – contd.,
 Conclusion:
 Both spot Silver Nitrate Test and Lab analysis confirm
negative saline reaction.
 Invoice dated 30th Aug., 2011 and shipped on board 05th
Oct.2011. Indicative shipment was awaiting pre-shipment
storage.
 Pre-shipment survey indicated cargo lying in open
warehouse covered by tarpaulin.
 Coils packed with G.I sheeting and hence any water
seepage into coils not visible.
 Discharge took place between 29th Oct.2011 and 09th
November, 2011 and delivery from Port held on 20th
November,2011.
PRESENTED BY T.S.SHRINIVAASAN OF MAR-
TECH INSURANCE SURVEYORS & LOSS
ASSESSORS PVT. LTD., 29
Case Study – contd.,
 Coils discharged at South Quay No.1 , which is an open
berth.
 During the period of discharge, it was monsoonal with
intermittent rains.
 From the degree of rust, it was not through out entire
circular winding, but confined to section, indicating
that the coils may be subjected to stagnated rain water
during storage.
 In view of foregoing, we opined loss/damage might not
be due to operation of maritime peril.

Conclusion
 When I presented this Case Study in our Institute Seminar, an
Insurance Company Manager challenged that once a Ship owner
issued a clean Bill of Lading, it is their duty to bear the loss.
 In some cases, for commercial compulsions, shippers issue LOI
to Master and obtain clean B/L.
 Though this is done in practice and according to Professor Tetley,
the letter of indemnity given by the shipper to the carrier in
exchange for the clean bill of lading has been held to be
unlawful, and therefore been treated as unenforceable by some
courts.
 For any profession, continuous improvement is required and
Surveyors have no exception. I feel achieving perfection is more
akin to walking towards horizon. Every day is a new beginning
and new experience.
 I hope my presentation is informative.PRESENTED BY T.S.SHRINIVAASAN OF MAR-

  • 4. OPEN COVER  This is the most usual type of cargo insurance, where a policy is drawn up to cover a number of consignments. The policy can be either for a specific value that requires renewal once the insured amount is exhausted or permanently open policy that will be drawn up for an agreed period, allowing any number of shipments during this time PRESENTED BY T.S.SHRINIVAASAN OF MAR- TECH INSURANCE SURVEYORS & LOSS ASSESSORS PVT. LTD., 4
  • 5. SPECIFIC (VOYAGE) POLICY  As against the Open Cover, if a shipper or consignee do not have regular exports or imports, they may take a Specific (Voyage) Policy for a particular shipment . While an Open Cover assures automatic insurance coverage, however, Specific (Voyage) Policy since covers particular shipment, seller or buyer depending upon terms of sale(Inco Terms) have to approach Insurer at appropriate time so that insurance coverage is properly covered.

  • 8. MARINE CLAIMS • Insurance Product as you all know is intangible in nature. • Hope I do not to elaborate on intangible nature • Product Marketing Vs Service Marketing • Say for eg. When you sell a computer, you can give a demonstration. • Unfortunately this is lacking in Service Marketing. • How difficult is Service Marketing ?? • Hats off to those involved in Service Marketing, be it Freight or Insurance Products or Banking products. PRESENTED BY T.S.SHRINIVAASAN OF MAR- TECH INSURANCE SURVEYORS & LOSS ASSESSORS PVT. LTD., 8
  • 9. MARINE CLAIMS MANAGEMENT • Quality of an Insurance Product can be evaluated only during claims management. • As against , Product Marketing Tangible nature to some extent can be felt only during claims handling by an Insurer. • Hence an efficient management Claims Management is over emphasized. • Claims Management is not an one man show and unless all stake holders take active role. • Let me add in following slides, Surveyor’s perspective.PRESENTED BY T.S.SHRINIVAASAN OF MAR- TECH INSURANCE SURVEYORS & LOSS ASSESSORS PVT.

  • 12. Nature of Packing  Packing plays vital role in Claims Handling.  Whether the packing is customary or adequate in nature to withstand transit hazards.  Lloyds Hand Book of Survey gives customary packing for various cargoes.  Inadequacy or insufficiency in packing will place an Insurer to repudiate the claim, vide General Exclusion Clause, which we will see later.

  • 13. Nature of damage/loss  Here again detailed descriptive of nature of damage or loss has to be insisted  Damage is only a general term.  Specific damage has to be described, like drum dented/holed and part contents spilt/leaked out.  Similarly, machinery part dented/bent or broken etc. PRESENTED BY T.S.SHRINIVAASAN OF MAR- TECH INSURANCE SURVEYORS & LOSS ASSESSORS PVT. LTD., 13
  • 14. Claim against the parties responsible for loss/damage  Insured must prefer claim against third parties responsible for loss/damage like Transporter or Port or Airport or CFS  Very many Insureds ask, when they insure with Insurance Company, why should they claim against third parties ?  This monetary claim against third parties will facilitate Insurer to go for recovery. If Insurer’s recovery right is not firmly protected, Insurer may settle a claim after deducting certain percentage.

Cold Rolled Steel Sheet in coils weighing 110.03 MT from China.  Coils arrived per m.v.”ROSBORG”(arrived Chennai on 27th October, 2011)  Import discharge took place between 29th October, 2011 and 09th November, 2011 at South Quay No.1 (an open berth)  Said importer cleared their consignment on 20th November, 2011.

  • 23. Case Study – contd.  M/s. Mercury Manufacturing Co. Ltd.,Tambaram, Chennai imported 20 Nos. Cold Rolled Steel Sheet in coils weighing 110.03 MT from China.  Coils arrived per m.v.”ROSBORG”(arrived Chennai on 27th October, 2011)  Import discharge took place between 29th October, 2011 and 09th November, 2011 at South Quay No.1 (an open berth)  Said importer cleared their consignment on 20th November, 2011. PRESENTED BY T.S.SHRINIVAASAN OF MAR- TECH INSURANCE SURVEYORS & LOSS ASSESSORS PVT. LTD., 23
  • 24. Case Study – Contd.  On 28th November, 2011 consignee served a provisional monetary claim on Ship’s Agents for a sum of USD 97000.71 as coils were received in rusty condition by RPAD duly received by Agents on 29th November, 2011.  On 30th November, 2011, we received survey intimation from M/s. Ingosstrakh, P & I Claims Dept, Russia to survey and report upon cause, nature and extent of damage.  By the time we received survey intimation, vessel had already sailed, consignment cleared from Port and we could only collect various information from Agents. PRESENTED BY T.S.SHRINIVAASAN OF MAR- TECH INSURANCE SURVEYORS & LOSS ASSESSORS PVT. LTD., 24
  • 25. Case Study – Contd.  Salient facts collected: 1. Invoice dated 30th August, 2011. 2. Shipment loaded on board on 05th October, 2011 at Shanghai. 3. B/L is clean without any clause. 4. Pre-shipment inspection by an Independent survey Agency at Shanghai stated that cargo stored at open yard covered by tarpaulin before shipment. Though they recommended certain clause in M/R. However, B/L was issued clean. 5. Disport Survey Report indicated cargo landed apparently sound except load port remarks. PRESENTED BY T.S.SHRINIVAASAN OF MAR- TECH INSURANCE SURVEYORS & LOSS ASSESSORS PVT. LTD., 25
  • 26. Case Study – Contd.,  Normally P & I Surveyors conduct Joint Survey within Port premises along with other concerned surveyors.  But in this case, since consignment already cleared from Port premises and vessel also already sailed out, we informed consignee that we will do survey strictly without prejudice and independent in nature.  We normally carry a bottle of Silver Nitrate Solution(0.01 N – AgNo3) to ascertain saline reaction on rusty surface. In this case spot Silver Nitrate Test showed negative saline reaction. But besides spot test, we also drew wet packing materials and rusty particles scrapped from coil for independent chemical analysis. Chemical Analysis also confirmed negative saline reaction.

  • 27. Case Study – contd., PRESENTED BY T.S.SHRINIVAASAN OF MAR- TECH INSURANCE SURVEYORS & LOSS ASSESSORS PVT. LTD., 27
  • 28. Case Study – contd.  Out of 20 Coils, 3 Coils were sound, 7 Coils partly rusty and 10 coils severely rusty.  Further from the degree of rust, it was not throughout entire circular winding, but confined to section of windings.  Prior to our attendance, on 24th November, 2011, Surveyors from Lloyds Agents carried out survey and indicated loss seemed to be pre-shipment in nature.  Accordingly, they repudiated claim. PRESENTED BY T.S.SHRINIVAASAN OF MAR- TECH INSURANCE SURVEYORS & LOSS ASSESSORS PVT. LTD., 28
  • 29. Case Study – contd.,  Conclusion:  Both spot Silver Nitrate Test and Lab analysis confirm negative saline reaction.  Invoice dated 30th Aug., 2011 and shipped on board 05th Oct.2011. Indicative shipment was awaiting pre-shipment storage.  Pre-shipment survey indicated cargo lying in open warehouse covered by tarpaulin.  Coils packed with G.I sheeting and hence any water seepage into coils not visible.  Discharge took place between 29th Oct.2011 and 09th November, 2011 and delivery from Port held on 20th November,2011. PRESENTED BY T.S.SHRINIVAASAN OF MAR- TECH INSURANCE SURVEYORS & LOSS ASSESSORS PVT. LTD., 29
  • 30. Case Study – contd.,  Coils discharged at South Quay No.1 , which is an open berth.  During the period of discharge, it was monsoonal with intermittent rains.  From the degree of rust, it was not through out entire circular winding, but confined to section, indicating that the coils may be subjected to stagnated rain water during storage.  In view of foregoing, we opined loss/damage might not be due to operation of maritime peril. PRESENTED BY T.S.SHRINIVAASAN OF MAR- TECH INSURANCE SURVEYORS & LOSS ASSESSORS PVT. LTD., 30
  • 31. Conclusion  When I presented this Case Study in our Institute Seminar, an Insurance Company Manager challenged that once a Ship owner issued a clean Bill of Lading, it is their duty to bear the loss.  In some cases, for commercial compulsions, shippers issue LOI to Master and obtain clean B/L.  Though this is done in practice and according to Professor Tetley, the letter of indemnity given by the shipper to the carrier in exchange for the clean bill of lading has been held to be unlawful, and therefore been treated as unenforceable by some courts.  For any profession, continuous improvement is required and Surveyors have no exception. I feel achieving perfection is more akin to walking towards horizon. Every day is a new beginning and new experience.  I hope my presentation is informative.PRESENTED BY T.S.SHRINIVAASAN OF MAR- TECH INSURANCE SURVEYORS & LOSS ASSESSORS PVT. LTD., 31

Editor's Notes

  1. This data will enable Insurer to decide if Insurer has any liability or otherwise. In the case of Overseas Marine Transit, 60 days time limit from date of arrival of vessel/landing. In the case of local transit or domestic transaction, 7 days only avilable.
  2. When I commenced my independent profession there was a consignment of capacitors (made of porcelain) despatched from Mumbai to Chennai in a truck . They just kept on a wooden pallet and wrapped a polythene sheet. There were lots of breakages. I said the packing was not adequate and customary and hence claim may be inadmissible.
  3. Non standard claim. I have never come across in any Text Book on Marine Claims on Non – Standard claim. But in practice most Insurers follow this.
