    Guidelines for marine surveyors when drafting reports

    Chloe Townley, Senior Account Executive at ITIC, has an insightful conversation with Lucy Goff, a Senior Associate in the LA Marine team at Lester Aldridge. Lucy shares valuable guidance on what marine surveyors need to consider while drafting their reports.   Lucy suggests that for writing damage or investigation reports, surveyors should gather ample information and store related documentation securely. Also, note all sources while drafting reports and remain impartial to your reported findings, as it is crucial should there be any future legal disputes.

    The importance of co-assurance for ship managers

    Ayşegül Wallis, Account Executive at ITIC, spoke with Ester Toumpouris, Partner at Ince in Cyprus, about the “Ocean Victory” Bulk Carrier, which lost steerage and subsequently grounded. The crew were safely evacuated from the vessel before she broke apart. This was followed by the court case in 2006 regarding a breach of the safe port obligation warranty. Even though The Ocean Victory is a case concerning safe port obligation, the Supreme Court thought that the co-assurance clause is equally essential. Due to the co-assurance provisions, the subrogated insurers were not entitled to claim against the demise charterer. In this episode, Ester sheds light on co-assurance and the relevant BIMCO co-assurance clause.

    Ship manager’s liability for crew negligence

    In this episode of ITIC Insight, Ayşegül Wallis, Account Executive at ITIC, spoke with Ester Toumpouris, Partner at the international legal and professional services firm Ince in Cyprus, regarding the BIMCO "Shipman" contract. Considering the BIMCO Shipman and Crewman contracts, Ester provides information regarding the manager's liability for crew negligence. The contract is widely used and also recommended by ITIC as a balanced contract between the interests of the manager and the shipowner. Ester gives insight into claims made against ship and crew managers that have arisen purely from the crew's negligence. However, Ester says, P&I or hull insurers should cover claims arising from crew negligence. They are not the responsibility of the supplier of the crew, namely the ship or crew manager. If an error (by a fully certified and qualified chief engineer) causes damage to a main engine, the claim should fall against the hull and machinery underwriters. The fact that the chief engineer made a mistake does not mean the ship or crew manager had been negligent. The manager is exempt from any crew negligence even if their actions were negligent unless the manager is negligent in supplying the crew.
