(a)What is Voyage?[2]
Answer
Meaning. In marine insurance, a voyage is the passage of a ship from one place to another, or to several others. It follows the course the policy contemplates. A voyage policy insures the subject matter "at and from", or from one place to another (section 27(1) of the Marine Insurance Act, 1963).
The rules that bind a voyage.
- Commencement. An "at and from" adventure must begin within a reasonable time, or the insurer may avoid the contract (section 44).
- The right ports. The ship must sail from the named port to the named destination. If she sails for another, the risk does not attach (sections 45 and 46).
- Change of voyage. If the destination is voluntarily changed, the insurer is discharged from the time the decision is shown (section 47).
- Deviation. Leaving the designated or usual course without lawful excuse discharges the insurer (section 48).
- Delay. The voyage must be pursued with reasonable dispatch (section 50).
Excuses. Deviation or delay is excused for reasons such as the safety of the ship or saving human life (section 51).
Example. A ship insured "from Kandla to Jebel Ali" must sail from Kandla for Jebel Ali along the usual route, without unreasonable delay.
Conclusion. A voyage is the insured passage between named places. A voyage policy covers it only while the ship keeps to that voyage, its route and reasonable dispatch.
