1906海上保險法
海上保險(Marine Insurance) 第1條:海上保險的定義(Marine insurance defined) A contract of marine insurance is a contract whereby the insurer undertakes to indemnify the assured, in manner and to the extent thereby agreed, against marine losses, that is to say, the losses incident to marine adventure. 海上保險合同,是一種保險人按照約定的方式和范圍,對與海上冒險有關(guān)的海上滅失,向被保險人承擔(dān)賠償責(zé)任的合同。
第2條 海陸混合風(fēng)險 (Mixed sea and land risks) 2.(1) A contract of marine insurance may, by its express terms, or by a usage of trade, be extended so as to protect the assured against losses on inland water or on any land risk which may be incidental to any sea voyage. (2) Where a ship in course of building, or the launch of a ship, or any adventure analogous to a marine adventure, is covered by a policy in the form of a marine policy, the provisions of this Act, in so far as applicable, shall apply thereto;but, except by this section provided, nothing in this Act shall alter or affect any rule of law applicable to any contract of insurance other than a contract of marine insurance as by this Act defined. (1)海上保險合同,得用明示條款或經(jīng)由某種貿(mào)易習(xí)慣,擴展保障被保險人在與海上航程有關(guān)的內(nèi)河或任何陸地風(fēng)險中的損失。 (2)如果用海上保險單格式的保險單,承保建造中的船舶,或者船舶下水,或類似海上冒險的任何冒險,本法中的各項規(guī)定,只要是可適用者,均得適用之;但除本條規(guī)定者外,本法的任何規(guī)定,都不能改變或影響任何適用于本法規(guī)定的海上保險合同以外的保險合同的法律規(guī)定。
第3條 海上冒險與海上危險的定義(Marine adventure and maritime perils defined ) 3.(1) Subject to the provisions of this Act, every lawful marine adventure may be the subject of a contract of marine insurance. (2) In particular there is a marine adventure where- (a) Any ship, goods or other movables are exposed to maritime perils. Such property is in the Act referred to as “insurable property.” (b) The earning or acquisition of any freight, passage money, commission, profit or other pecuniary benefit, or the security for any advances, loans or disbursements, is endangered by the exposure of insurance property to maritime perils. (c) Any liability to a third party may be incurred by the owner of, or other person interested in or responsible for, insurable property, by reason of maritime perils. 3(1) 受本法規(guī)定的制約,每一合法的海上冒險得為海上保險合同的標(biāo)的。 (2) 特別是以下各項屬于海上冒險: (a)受海上危險影響的任何船舶,貨物或其他動產(chǎn)。此種財產(chǎn)在本法中被稱為“可保財產(chǎn)”。 (b)由于保險財產(chǎn)暴露于海上危險之中而危及的任何運費,客票款,傭金,利潤或其他錢財上的利益,或任何預(yù)付款,貸款,或墊付費用的擔(dān)保。 (c)保險財產(chǎn)的所有人或其他對其有利益或有責(zé)任的當(dāng)事人由于海上風(fēng)險的原因?qū)Φ谌疆a(chǎn)生的任何責(zé)任!
保險利益(Insurable Interest) 第4條 賭博合同無效(Avoidance of wagering or gaming contracts) 4.(1) Every contract of marine insurance by way of gaming or wagering is void. (2) A contract of marine insurance is deemed to be a gaming or wagering contract- (a) Where the assured has not an insurable interest as defined by this Act and the contract is entered into with no expectation of acquiring such an interest; or (b) Where the policy is made “interest or no interest” or “without further proof of interest than the policy itself”, or “without benefit of salvage to the insurer”, or subject to any other like term. Provided that, where there is no possibility of salvage, a policy may be effected without benefit of salvage to the insurer. 4.(1)用作賭博的海上保險合同無效。 (2)海上保險合同在下列情況下,被認為是賭博合同: (a) 被保險人對保險標(biāo)的無本法規(guī)定的保險利益,而且在締約后仍無獲得此種保險利益的可能; (b) 保險單是按“無論有無保險利益”, 或“除保險單本身外,再無具有保險利益的證明”,或“保險人無救助利益”等條件,或按其他類似條件訂定的。 但是,如無救助的可能,保險單可以按保險人無救助利益的條件簽訂。
第5條 保險利益的定義(Insurable interest defined) 5.(1)Subject to the provisions of this Act, every person has an insurable interest who is interested in a marine adventure. (2) In particular, a person is interested in a marine adventure where he stands in any legal or equitable relation to the adventure or to any insurable property at risk therein, in consequence of which he may benefit by the safety or due arrival of insurable property, or may be prejudiced by its loss, or by damage thereto, or by the detention thereof, or may incur liability in respect thereof. (1)根據(jù)本法各條規(guī)定,與海上冒險有利益關(guān)系的每一個人具有保險利益。 (2)一個人與海上冒險有利益關(guān)系,尤其是在他與該冒險或處在危險中的任何保險財產(chǎn),具有任何法律上或衡平的關(guān)系,因而若保險財產(chǎn)安全或及時抵達他便能從中獲取利益;反之,如果保險財產(chǎn)滅失,損壞,或被滯留或招致有關(guān)責(zé)任,他的利益將受到損害。
第6條 何時應(yīng)具有利益(When interest must attach) 6.(1)The assured must be interested in the subject-matter insured at the time of loss though he need not be interested when the insurance is effected. (2)Where the assured has no interest at the time of the loss, he cannot acquire interest by any act or election after he is aware of the loss. (1)雖然投保時被保險人無需對保險標(biāo)的具有利益,但在保險標(biāo)的滅損時,他必須對其具有利益。 (2)如果被保險人在滅損當(dāng)時不具有利益,他不能在他知曉該滅損后,通過任何行為或選擇而獲取利益。
第7條 可撤銷的利益或偶然的利益(Defeasible or contingent interest) 7.(1) A defeasible interest is insurable, as also is a contingent interest. (2) In particular, where the buyer of goods has insured them, he has an insurable interest, notwithstanding that he might, at his election, (1)可撤銷的利益是保險利益,偶然的利益亦然。 (2)特別是,如貨物買方已將該批貨物保險,他就對該批貨物具有保險利益,盡管由于賣方交貨延誤或其他原因,致使被保險人可能選擇拒收貨物,或?qū)⒇浳镆曌髻u方風(fēng)險。
第8條 部分利益(Partial interest) 8. A partial interest of any nature is insurable. 8.任何性質(zhì)的部分利益均可承保。
第9條 再保險(Re-insurance) 9(1) The insurer under a contract of marine insurance has an insurable interest in his risk, and may re-insure in respect of it. (2) Unless the policy otherwise provides, the original assured has no right or interest in respect of such re-insurance. 9.(1)海上保險合同中的保險人對其承保的風(fēng)險有保險利益,并可將有關(guān)風(fēng)險再保險。 (2)除非保險單另有規(guī)定,原被保險人對此種再保險沒有權(quán)利或利益。
第10條 (以船、貨為抵押物的)抵押貸款(Bottomry) 10. The lender of money on bottomry or respeondentia has an insurable interest in respect of the loan. 10.以船、貨為抵押物的貸款方對其貸款有保險利益。
第11條 船長和船員的工資(Master’s and seamen’s wages) 11. The master or any member of the crew of a ship has an insurable interest in respect of his wages. 11.船長或船員對其工資有保險利益。
第12條 預(yù)付運費(Advance freight) 12. In the case of advance freight, the person advancing the freight has an insurable interest, in so for as much freight is not repayable in case of loss. 12.預(yù)付運費的人對在損失后不能收回的預(yù)付運費有保險利益。
第13條 保險費(Charges of insurance) 13. The assured has an insurable interest in the charges of any insurance which be may effect. 13.被保險人對其應(yīng)支付的保險費具有保險利益。
第14條 利益數(shù)額(Quantum of interest) 14.(1) Where the subject-matter insured is mortgaged, the mortgagor has an insurable interest in the full value thereof, and the mortgagee has an insurable interest in respect of any sum due or to become due under the mortgage. (2) A mortgagee, consignee, or other person having an interest in the subject-matter insured may insure on behalf and for the benefit of other persons interested as well as for his own benefit. (3) The owner of insurable property has an insurable interest in respect of the full value thereof, notwithstanding that some third person may have agreed, or be liable, to indemnify him in case of loss. 14.(1)在保險標(biāo)的被抵押之場合,抵押人對抵押物的全部價值有保險利益,而抵押權(quán)人對抵押貸款合同下其所付的或應(yīng)付的有關(guān)金額有保險利益。 (2)抵押權(quán)人、收貨人或?qū)ΡkU標(biāo)的有利益的其他人,除為了自已的利益外,得代表和為其他有利害關(guān)系的人的利益進行保險。 (3)盡管在發(fā)生損失的情況下,某些第三者可能已同意或有義務(wù)賠償其損失,保險財產(chǎn)的所有人對其財產(chǎn)的全部價值有保險利益。
第15條 利益轉(zhuǎn)讓(Assignment of interest) 15.Where the assured assigns or otherwise parts with his interest in the subject-matter insured, he does not thereby transfer to the assignee his rights under the contract of insurance, unless there be an express or implied agreement with the assignee to that effect. But the provisions of this section do not affect a transmission of interest by operation of law. 15.被保險人若轉(zhuǎn)讓或以其他方式放棄其保險標(biāo)的利益,他并不因此將其保險合同下的權(quán)利轉(zhuǎn)讓給受讓人,除非與受讓人訂有轉(zhuǎn)讓保險權(quán)益的明示或默示協(xié)議。 但本條規(guī)定不影響因?qū)嵤┓啥l(fā)生的利益轉(zhuǎn)讓。
保險價值(Insurable Value)
第16條 保險價值的確定(Measure of insurable value) 16. Subject to any express provision or valuation in the policy, the insurable value of the subject-matter insured must be ascertained as follows:- (1) In insurance on ship, the insurable value is the value at the commencement of the risk, of the ship, including her outfit, provisions and stores for the officers and crew, money advanced for seamen’s wages, and other disbursements (if any) incurred to make the ship fit for the voyage or adventure contemplated by the policy, plus the charges of insurance upon the whole: The insurable value, in the case of a steamship, includes also the machinery, boilers, and coals and engine stores if owned by the assured, and, in the case of a ship engaged in a special trade, the ordinary fittings requisite for that trade: (2) In insurance on freight, whether paid in advance or otherwise, the insurable value is the gross amount of the freight at the risk of the assured, plus the charges of insurance: (3) In insurance on goods or merchandise, the insurable value is the prime cost of the property insured, plus the expenses of and incidental to shipping and the charges of insurance upon the whole: (4) In insurance on any other subject-matter, the insurable value is the amount at the risk of the assured when the policy attaches, plus the charges of insurance. 16.除保險單的明文規(guī)定或定值外,保險標(biāo)的的保險價值,必須按下列規(guī)定確定: (1)在船舶保險中,保險價值是風(fēng)險開始時的船舶價值,包括船舶的裝備、全體船員的食物與其他物料、預(yù)付給船員的工資以及為使船舶適合航行于保險單載明的航程或海上冒險所可能產(chǎn)生的其他墊付費用加上全部保險費用。 對蒸汽機船舶,船舶的保險價值還應(yīng)包括機器、鍋爐、被保險人擁有的燃料煤和機艙物料,而如果船舶用于特殊貿(mào)易,則還需包括適合該貿(mào)易的通常裝備。 (2)在運費保險中,無論運費是否預(yù)付,保險價值是指被保險人處于風(fēng)險中的總運費加上保險費。 (3)在貨物或商品保險中,保險價值是該保險財產(chǎn)的成本價格,加上海運費和與海運有關(guān)的費用,及全部海運過程中的保險費用。 (4)在其他保險中,保險價值是保險單生效時被保險人處于風(fēng)險中的金額加上保險費用。
告知和陳述(Disclosure and Representation)
第17條 保險是最大誠信(Insurance is uberrimae fidei) 17.A contract of marine insurance is a contract based upon the utmost good faith and, if the utmost good faith be not observed by either party, the contract may be avoided by the other party. 17.海上保險合同是建立在最大誠信基礎(chǔ)上的合同,如果任何一方不遵守最大誠信,他方可以撤消該合同。
第18條 被保險人的告知(Disclosure by assured) 18.(1) Subject to the provisions of this section, the assured must disclose to the insurer, before the contract is concluded, every material circumstance which is known to the assured, and the assured is deemed to know every circumstance which, in the ordinary course of business, ought to be known by him. If the assured fails to make such disclosure, the insurer may avoid the contract. (2) Every circumstance is material, which would influence the judgment of a prudent insurer in fixing the premium, or determining whether he will take the risk. (3) In the absence of inquiry the following circumstances need not be disclosed, namely:- (a) Any circumstance which diminishes the risks; (b) Any circumstance which is known or presumed to be known to the insurer. The insurer is presumed to know matters of common notoriety or knowledge, and matters which an insurer in the ordinary course of his business, as such, ought to know; (c) Any circumstance as to which information is waived by the insurer; (d) Any circumstance which it is superfluous to disclose by reason of any express or implied warranty. (4) Whether any particular circumstance, which is not disclosed, be material or not is, in each case, a question of fact. (5) The term “circumstance” includes any communication made to, or information received by, the assured. 18.(1) 根據(jù)本條的規(guī)定,在訂立合同前,被保險人必須向保險人告知其所知的一切重要情況。被保險人應(yīng)視為知道在通常業(yè)務(wù)過程中他應(yīng)當(dāng)知曉的每一情況。若被保險人未作此種告知,保險人可以撤消合同。 (2) 影響謹慎的保險人確定保險費的決定或決定是否承保該項風(fēng)險的每一情況,即屬重要情況。 (3) 對下列情況如果保險人未問及,被保險人無需告知: (a) 減少風(fēng)險的任何情況; (b) 保險人知道或被認為應(yīng)該知道的情況;保險人應(yīng)該知曉眾所周知的事情,以及他在通常業(yè)務(wù)中應(yīng)該知曉的一般情況; (c) 保險人不要求被保險人告知的情況; (d) 由于明文或默示的保證條款,被保險人無需告知的事項。 (4) 在每一案件中,未告知的任何特別情況是否重要,屬事實問題。 (5) “情況”一詞包括送給被保險人的通知和其收到的消息。
第19條 投保代理人的告知(Disclosure by agent effecting insurance) 19.Subject to the provisions of the preceding section as to circumstances which need not be disclosed where an insurance is effected for the assured by an agent, the agent must disclose to the insurer- (a) Every material circumstance which is known to himself, and an agent to insure is deemed to know every circumstance which in the ordinary course of business ought to be known by, or to have been communicated to, him; and (b) Every material circumstance which the assured is bound to disclose, unless it came to his knowledge too late to communicate it to the agent. 19.若由代理人為被保險人投保,除按前條各款規(guī)定無需告知的各有關(guān)事項外,該代理人必須向保險人告知: (a) 他所知道的每一重要情況,保險代理人視為知曉其在通常業(yè)務(wù)中應(yīng)當(dāng)知曉或被保險人已通知他的每一情況; (b) 及被保險人有義務(wù)告知的每一重要情況,除非他得知該情況過遲,無法及時通知該代理人.
第20條 協(xié)商合同時的陳述(Representations pending negotiation of contract) 20.①Every material representation made by the assured or his agent to the insurer during the negotiations for the contract and before the contract is concluded, must be true. If it be untrue the insurer may avoid the contract. ②A representation is material which would influence the judgment of a prudent insurer in fixing the premium, or determining whether he will take the risk. ③A representation may be either a representation as to a matter of fact, or as to a matter of expectation or belief. ④A representation as to a matter of fact is true, if it be substantially correct, that is to say, if the difference between what is represented and what is actually correct would not be considered material by a prudent insurer. ⑤A representation as to a matter of expectation or belief is true if it be made in good faith. ⑥A representation may be withdrawn or corrected before the contract is concluded. ⑦Whether a particular representation be material or not is, in each case, a question of fact. 20 ①在協(xié)商合同期間及訂立合同前,被保險人或其代理人向保險人作出的每一重要陳述必須真實,若其不真實,保險人可以撤消合同. ②影響謹慎的保險人確定保險費的評價或決定是否承保該項風(fēng)險的陳述,即為重要陳述. ③一項陳述既可以是有關(guān)事實,也可以是關(guān)于期望或是關(guān)于信念的陳述. ④若一項關(guān)于事實的陳述實質(zhì)上是準(zhǔn)確的,它便是真實的,亦即,如果陳述內(nèi)容與實際情況有差異,謹慎的保險人并不認為是重要的. ⑤若被保險人依誠信作出期望或信念的陳述,該陳述即是真實的. ⑥陳述在訂立合同前可以撤回或更正. ⑦在每一案件中,某一特定的陳述是否重要,屬事實問題.
第21條 何時合同視為成立(When contract is deemed to be concluded) 21.A contract of marine insurance is deemed to be concluded when the proposal of the assured is accepted by the insurer, whether the policy be then issued or not and, for the purpose of showing when the proposal was accepted, reference may be made to the slip or covering note or other customary memorandum of the contract. 21.保險人接受被保險人的投保單后,無論當(dāng)時是否已簽發(fā)保險單,海上保險合同應(yīng)視為已經(jīng)成立;為表明該投保單何時被接受,可以參考承保條或暫保單或其他合同習(xí)慣的備忘錄。
保險單(The Policy)
第22條 合同必須包含在保險單內(nèi)(Contract must be embodied in policy) 22. Subject to the provisions of any statute, a contract of marine insurance is inadmissible in evidence unless it is embodied in a marine policy in accordance with this Act. The policy may be executed and issued either at the time when the contract is concluded, or afterwards. 22.受任何法律規(guī)定的制約,海上保險合同不能作為訴訟的證據(jù),除非包含在符合本法的海上保險單內(nèi)。保險單可在海上保險合同成立時或以后簽發(fā)。
第23條 保險單必須載明的事項(What policy must specify) 23. A marine policy must specify- (1) The name of the assured, or of some person who effects the insurance on his behalf; (2) The subject-matter insured and the risk insured against; (3) The voyage, or period of time, or both, as the case may be, covered by the insurance; (4) The sum or sums insured; (5) The name or names of the insurance. 23.海上保險單必須載明下列事項: (1)被保險人或代被保險人投保的人的名稱; (2)保險標(biāo)的和承保險別 (3)保險承保的航程或期間,或同時承保航程和期間兩者,視情況而定 (4)保險金額 (5)保險人的名稱。 (本條第2,3,4,5款已被英國1959年《財政法》廢除。譯者注)
第24條 保險人簽署(Signature of insurer) 24.(1) A marine policy must be signed by or on behalf of the insurer, provided that in the case of a corporation the corporate seal may be sufficient, but nothing in this section shall be construed as requiring the subscription of a corporation to be under seal. (2) Where a policy is subscribed by or on behalf of two or more insurers, each subscription, unless the contrary by expressed, constitutes a distinct contract with the assured. 24.(1)海上保險單必須由保險人或其代表簽署,假如是(保險)公司出具保險單,則加蓋公司印章即可;但不能把本條規(guī)定解釋為要求公司簽署加蓋印章。 (2)在保險單是由兩個或兩個以上認可保險份額的保險人或其代表出具之情況下,除非另有明示相反約定,每一簽署構(gòu)成與被保險人的獨立合同。
第25條 航次保險單和定期保險單(Voyage and time policies) 25.(1) Where the contract is to insure the subject-matter at and from, or from one place to another or others, the policy is called a “voyage policy” and where the contract is to insure the subject-matter for a definite period of time the policy is called a “time policy”. A contract for both voyage and time may be included in the same policy. ((2) Subject to the provisions of section eleven of the Finance Act, 1901, a time policy which is made for any time exceeding twelve months is invalid.) 25.(1)在保險合同承保保險標(biāo)的“在和從”或“從”某一地點運送至另一地點或其他地點之場合,該保險單稱作“航次保險單”;在保險合同承保保險標(biāo)的某一段固定期間之情況下,該保險單叫做“定期保險單”。同一保險單可以同時承保航次和定期保險的合同。 (2)(該款已廢除。譯者注)
第26條 指定標(biāo)的(Designation of subject-matter) 26(1).The subject-matter insured must be designated in a marine policy with reasonable certainty. (2) The nature and extent of the interest of the assured in the subject-matter insured need not be specified in the policy. (3) Where the policy designates the subject-matter insured in general terms ,it shall be construed to apply to the interest intended by the assured to be covered. (4) In the application of this section regard shall be had to any usage regulating the designation of the subject-matter insured. 26(1)保險標(biāo)的必須在海上保險單中合理確定地標(biāo)明。 (2)被保險人對于保險標(biāo)的利益的性質(zhì)和范圍無需在保險單中明確規(guī)定。 (3)在保險單用一般術(shù)語標(biāo)明保險標(biāo)的之場合,應(yīng)解釋為適用于被保險人意圖投保的利益。 (4)在適用本條規(guī)定時,還應(yīng)考慮制約保險標(biāo)的指定的任何習(xí)慣。
第27條 定值保險單(Valued policy) 27.(1) A policy may be either valued or unvalued (2) A valued policy is a policy, which specifies the agreed value of the subject-matter insured. (3) Subject to the provisions of this Act, and the absence of fraud, the value fixed by the policy is, as between the insurer and assured, conclusive of the insurable value of the subject intended to be insured, whether the loss be total or partial. (4) Unless the policy otherwise provides, the value fixed by the policy is not conclusive for the purpose of determining whether there has been a constructive total loss. 27.(1) 保險單可以是定值保險單,也可以是不定值保險單。 (2)定值保險單指載明保險標(biāo)的的約定價值的保險單。 (3)除本法條款另有規(guī)定外,若不存在欺騙,不論損失是全損或部分損失,保險單確定的價值即為保險人與被保險人之間意圖對標(biāo)的物投保的確定保險價值。 (4) 除保險單另有規(guī)定外,就確定是否構(gòu)成推定全損而言,保險單約定的價值并非終結(jié)性的。
第28條 不定值保險單(Unvalued policy) 28. An unvalued policy is a policy which does not specify the value of the subject-matter insured, but, subject to the limit of the sum insured, leaves the insurable value to be subsequently ascertained, in the manner herein before specified. 28.不定值保險單指未載明保險標(biāo)的的價值的保險單,但受保險金額制約,按前述規(guī)定將保險價值留待以后確定。
第29條 船舶預(yù)約保險單(Floating policy by ship or ships) 29.(1) A floating policy is a policy which describes the insurance in general terms, and leaves the name of the ship or ships and other particulars to be defined by subsequent declaration. (2) The subsequent declaration or declarations may be made by endorsement on the policy, or in other customary manner. (3) Unless the policy otherwise provides, the declarations must be made in the order of dispatch or shipment. They must, in the case of goods, comprise all consignments within the terms of the policy, and the value of the goods or other property must be honestly stated, but an omission or erroneous declaration may be rectified even after loss or arrival, provided the omission or declaration was made in good faith. (4) Unless the policy otherwise provides, where a declaration of value is not made until after notice of loss or arrival, the policy must be treated as an unvalued policy as regards the subject to matter of that declaration. 29.(1) 預(yù)約保險單是指保險單僅作籠統(tǒng)的規(guī)定,將船舶的名稱和其他事項在以后申報中確定。 (2)這種后來進行的申報, 可用批單形式在保險單上批注,也可按其他習(xí)慣方式進行。 (3)除非保險單另有規(guī)定,申報應(yīng)按裝運的前后依次進行。如果是貨物,申報必須包括保險單規(guī)定條件之內(nèi)的全部貨物運輸。貨物或其他財產(chǎn)的價值,必須誠實說明,但善意的漏報或誤報,即便在發(fā)生損失或貨物抵達之后,也可以進行更正。 (4)除非保險單另有規(guī)定,在收到損失通知或抵達之前未申報價值的情況下,對該申報的標(biāo)的物,保險單應(yīng)視為不定值保險單。
第30條 保險單術(shù)語的解釋(Construction of terms in policy) 30.(1) A policy may be in the form in the First Schedule to this Act. (2) Subject to the provisions of this Act, and unless the context of the policy otherwise requites, the terms and expressions mentioned in the First Schedule to this Act shall be construed as having the scope and meaning in that Schedule assigned to them. 30,(1) 保險單可按本法所附第一附件的式樣簽訂。 (2)根據(jù)本法規(guī)定,除非保險單內(nèi)容另有其他要求,本法所附第一附件內(nèi)的術(shù)語及措詞,應(yīng)按賦予該附件規(guī)定的詞意和范圍解釋。

第33條 保證的性質(zhì)(Nature of warranty) 33.(1) A warranty, in the following sections relating to warranties, means a promissory warranty, that is to say, a warranty by which the assured undertakes that some particular thing shall or shall not be done, or that some condition shall be fulfilled, or whereby he affirms or negatives the existence of a particular state of facts. (2) A warranty may be express or implied. (3) A warranty, as above defined, is a condition which must be exactly complied with, whether it be material to the risk or not. If it be not so complied with, then, subject to any express provision in the policy, the insurer is discharged from liability as from the date of the breach of warranty, but without prejudice to any liability incurred by him before that date. 33.(1)保證(下述各條有關(guān)保證)是指允諾性的保證,即被保險人保證去做或不去做某種特定事情,或履行某項條件,或者肯定或否定存在某些事實的特定狀態(tài)。 (2)保證可以明示或默示。 (3)按照上述定義,無論保證對風(fēng)險是否重要,均是一種必須嚴格遵守的條件。如果被保險人不如此遵守之,除非保險單另有明示規(guī)定,從被保險人違反保證之日起,保險人解除責(zé)任,但不妨礙在違反保證之前產(chǎn)生的任何責(zé)任。
第34條 何時可免除違反保證(When breach of warranty excused) 34.(1)Non-compliance with a warranty is excused when, by reason of a change of circumstances, the warranty ceases to be applicable to the circumstances of the contract, or when compliance with the warranty is rendered unlawful by any subsequent law. (2) Where a warranty is broken, the assured cannot avail himself of the defence that the breach has been remedied, and the warranty complied with, before loss. (3) A breach of warranty may be waived by the insurer. (1) 由于情況變化,保證不再適用于合同情況,或遵循該保證被任何后來的法律視為非法等情況下,不遵循該保證可以免責(zé)。 (2) 如果一項保證已被破壞,則被保險人不能以在發(fā)生損失前違反已得到彌補,保證已得到遵守的理由為自已辯護。 (3) 保險人可以放棄保證的違反。
第35條 明示保證(Express warranties) 35.(1) An express warranty may be in any form of words from which the intention to warrant is to be inferred. (2) An express warranty must be included in, or written upon, the policy, or must be contained in some document incorporated by reference into the policy.

(2) Where a ship is expressly warranted “neutral” there is also an implied condition that, so far as the assured can control the matter, she shall be properly documented, that is to say, that she shall carry the necessary papers to establish her neutrality, and that she shall not falsify or suppress her papers, or use simulated papers. If any loss occurs through breach of this condition, the insurer may avoid the contract. 36.(1)在保險財產(chǎn),不論是船舶還是貨物,明確宣布保證中立之場合,存在一項默示條件,即在風(fēng)險開始時,該項財產(chǎn)應(yīng)為中立性質(zhì),而且在被保險人能控制的范圍內(nèi),在整個風(fēng)險期間應(yīng)保持這種中立性質(zhì)。 (2)在船舶明文保證中立之情況下,亦存在一項默示條件,即在被保險人能控制的范圍內(nèi),該船舶應(yīng)適當(dāng)備齊各種證件;亦即,該船舶必須攜帶表明其中立性質(zhì)的必要文件,并不得偽造或隱匿證件或使用假文件。 對因違反此項條件所產(chǎn)生的任何損失,保險人可以解除合同。
第37條 無默示船籍保證(No implied warranty of nationality) 37.There is no implied warranty as to the nationality of a shipper that her nationality shall not be changed during the risk. 37.關(guān)于船舶的國籍不存在默示保證,也不存在風(fēng)險期間其船籍不變的默示保證。

It may be assigned either before or after loss. (2) Where a marine policy has been assigned so as to pass the beneficial interest in such policy, the assignee of the policy is entitled to sue thereon in his own name; and the defendant is entitled to make any defence arising out of the contract which he would have been entitled to make if the action had been brought in the name of the person by or on behalf of whom the policy was effected. (3) A marine policy may be assigned by endorsement thereon or in other customary manner. 50.(1)除非保險單中明文規(guī)定禁止轉(zhuǎn)讓,海上保險單可以在損失發(fā)生前或發(fā)生后轉(zhuǎn)讓。 (2)在海上保險已經(jīng)轉(zhuǎn)讓,以便轉(zhuǎn)移此種保險單中的利益之場合,保險單的受讓人有權(quán)以自已的名義起訴,被告有權(quán)援用該合同引起的任何抗辯,好像訴訟是由訂立保險單的人或代表他提起的一樣。 (3)海上保險單可以用在保險單上背書或用其他習(xí)慣方式轉(zhuǎn)讓。
第51條 無保險利益者不能轉(zhuǎn)讓保險單(Assured who has no interest cannot assign)

Where the assured has parted with or lost his interest in the subject-matter insured, and has not, before or at the time of so doing, expressly or impliedly agreed to assign the policy, any subsequent assignment of the policy is inoperative; Provided that nothing in this section affects the assignment of a policy after loss. 51.在被保險人對保險標(biāo)的已經(jīng)沒有或喪失利益,且在此之前或當(dāng)時未明示或默示同意轉(zhuǎn)讓保險單之情況下,則隨后保險單的任何轉(zhuǎn)讓均屬無效。 但本條規(guī)定不影響在發(fā)生損失之后的保險單轉(zhuǎn)讓。
保險費(The Premium)
第52條 何時繳付保險費(When premium payable) 52.Unless otherwise agreed, the duty of the assured or his agent to pay the premium, and the duty of the insured to issue the policy to the assured or his agent, are concurrent conditions, and the insurer is not bound to issue the policy until payment or tender of the premium. 52.除非另有協(xié)議,被保險人或其代理人支付保險費的義務(wù),與保險人向被保險人或其代理人簽發(fā)保險單的義務(wù)是對流條件,在支付或提交保險費之前,保險人沒有義務(wù)簽發(fā)保險單。

(2) Unless otherwise agreed, the broker has, as against the assured, a lien upon the policy for the amount of the premium and his charges in respect of effecting the policy; and, where he has dealt with the person who employs him as a principal, he has also a lien on the policy in respect of any balance on any insurance account which may be due to him from such person, unless when the debt was incurred he had reason to believe that such person was only an agent. 53.(1) 除非另有約定,在海上保險單是由經(jīng)紀(jì)人代表被保險人辦理之場合,該經(jīng)紀(jì)人應(yīng)對保險人就該保險費承擔(dān)直接責(zé)任,關(guān)于因滅失應(yīng)付之賠償或可退還的保險費,保險人應(yīng)向被險人直接負責(zé)。 (2) 除非另有約定,經(jīng)紀(jì)人就其繳納的保險費和他代辦投保的費用,對被保險人享有留置保險單的權(quán)利;經(jīng)紀(jì)人如果同作為雇主雇用他的人打交道,而在保險賬目中該人有應(yīng)當(dāng)支付他的余額時,他也有留置保險單的權(quán)利,除非這種債務(wù)產(chǎn)生時,他有理由相信此種人只是一個代理人。
第54條 收據(jù)對保險單的效果(Effect of receipt on policy) 54.Where a marine policy effected on behalf of the assured by a broker acknowledges the receipt of the premium, such acknowledgment is, in the absence of fraud, conclusive as between the insurer and the assured, but not as between the insurer and broker. 54.如果海上保險單由經(jīng)紀(jì)人代表被保險人訂立,確認收到保險費的收據(jù),在沒有欺詐的情況下,此種確認在保險人與被保險人之間是確證,但在保險人與經(jīng)紀(jì)人之間不是最終證明。

第59條 轉(zhuǎn)運的效果(Effect of transshipment, etc.) 59 .Where, by a peril insured against, the voyage is interrupted at an intermediate port or place, under such circumstances as, apart from any special stipulation in the contract of affreightment, to justify the master in landing and re-shipping the goods or other movables, or in transshipping them, and sending them on to their destination, the liability of the insurer continues notwithstanding the landing or transshipment. 59.如果由于承保危險使航程在中途港或中途某地中斷,除了運輸合同中的任何特殊規(guī)定之外,在船長有將貨物或其他動產(chǎn)卸下及重裝,或轉(zhuǎn)船運往其目的港的正當(dāng)理由的情況下,保險人應(yīng)繼續(xù)承擔(dān)責(zé)任,盡管發(fā)生了該卸岸或轉(zhuǎn)運。
第60條 推定全損的定義(Constructive total loss defined) 60.(1)Subject to any express provision in the policy, there is a constructive total loss where the subject-matter insured is reasonably abandoned on account of its actual total loss appearing to be unavoidable, or because it could not be preserved from actual total loss without an expenditure which would exceed its value when the expenditure had been incurred. (2)In particular, there is a constructive total loss- (i) Where the assured is deprived of the possession of his ship or goods by a peril insured against, and (a) it is unlikely that he can recover the ship or goods, as the case may be, or (b) the cost of recovering the ship or goods, as the case may be, would exceed their value when recovered; or (ii) In the case of damage to a ship, where she is so damaged by a peril insured against, that the cost of repairing the damage would exceed the value of the ship when repaired. In estimating the cost of repairs, no deduction is to be made in respect of general average contributions to those repairs payable by other interests, but account is to be taken of the expense of future salvage operations and of any future general average contributions to which the ship would be liable if repaired; or (iii) In the case of damage to goods, where the cost of repairing the damage and forwarding the goods to their destination would exceed their value on arrival. 60.(1) 除保險單另有明文規(guī)定外,保險標(biāo)的因其全部損失看起來不可避免,或者為避免實際全損所需的費用將超過其本身價值的原因而被合理放棄的,即構(gòu)成推定全損。 (2) 尤其在下列情況下,構(gòu)成推定全損: (i) 因承保危險使被保險人喪失對其船、貨的占有,并且(a) 按照情況,被保險人不大可能收回船舶和貨物,或者(b) 依據(jù)情況,收回船、貨的費用將超過其收回后的價值;或 (ii) 船舶受損的,因承保危險使船舶所受損壞嚴重到修理船損的費用將超過修理后船舶的價值的情況。 在估算修理費用時,由其他利益方支付的修理費用的共同海損分攤額不應(yīng)被扣除,但是應(yīng)當(dāng)把將來的救助費用以及船舶如經(jīng)修繕即應(yīng)負擔(dān)的共同海損分攤額計算在內(nèi); (iii) 貨物受損的,修理受損貨物以及將貨物續(xù)運到目的地的費用,將超過貨物到達目的地時的價值的情況。
第61條 推定全損的效果(Effect of constructive total loss) 61. Where there is a constructive total loss the assured may either treat the loss as a partial loss, or abandon the subject-matter insured to the insurer and treat the loss as if it were an actual total loss 61.若發(fā)生推定全損,被保險人可以將其視為部分損失,也可以把保險標(biāo)的委付給保險人,將該損失視為如同實際全損一樣。
第62條 委付通知(Notice of abandonment) “62(1) Subject to the provisions of this section, where the assured elects to abandon the subject-matter insured to the insurer, he must give notice of abandonment. If he fails to do so the loss can only be treated as a partial loss” (2) Notice of abandonment may be given in writing, or by word of mouth, or partly by word of mouth, and may be given in any terms, which indicate the intention of the assured to abandon his insured interest in the subject-matter insured unconditionally to the insurer. (3) Notice of abandonment must be given with reasonable diligence after the receipt of reliable information of the loss, but where the information is of a doubtful character the assured is entitled to a reasonable time to make inquiry. (4) Where notice of abandonment is properly given, the rights of the assured are not prejudiced by the fact that the insurer refuses to accept the abandonment. (5) The acceptance of abandonment may be either express or implied from the conduct of the insurer, The mere silence of the insurer after notice is not an acceptance. (6) Where notice of abandonment is accepted the abandonment is irrevocable. The acceptance of the notice conclusively admits liability for the loss and the sufficiency of the notice. (7) Notice of abandonment is unnecessary where, at the time when the assured received information of the loss, there would be no possibility of benefit to the insurer if notice were given to him. (8) Notice of abandonment may be waived by the insurer. (9) Where an insurer has re-insured his risk, no notice of abandonment need be given by him.” 62(1) 除本條另有規(guī)定外,被保險人選擇將保險標(biāo)的委付給保險人的,必須發(fā)送委付通知。被保險人未發(fā)送委付通知的,損失只能視為部分損失。 (2) 委付通知可以以書面形式或口頭形式或者部分書面、部分口頭形式發(fā)出,被保險人可以以任何措詞,表明其愿意將保險標(biāo)的的保險利益無條件地委付給保險人。 (3) 委付通知必須在得到損失的可靠消息后,合理而謹慎地發(fā)送,但是消息存在可疑之處的,被保險人有權(quán)在合理時間內(nèi)對此進行查詢。 (4) 適當(dāng)發(fā)出委付通知后,保險人拒絕接受委付的事實,不影響被保險人的權(quán)利。 (5) 保險人對于委付的接受可以明示,也可以以行動默示。保險人在收到委付通知后僅保持沉默,不構(gòu)成對委付的接受。 (6) 委付通知書一經(jīng)接受,委付便不能撤回。保險人接受委付通知,即表明最后承認對損失負責(zé)和通知有效。 (7) 被保險人得到損失消息時,如果向保險人發(fā)出委付通知,保險人已無獲益可能的,則無需發(fā)出委付通知。 (8) 保險人可以放棄發(fā)出委付通知的權(quán)利。 (9) 保險人將其風(fēng)險再保險的,該保險人無需發(fā)出委付通知!
第63條 委付的效果(Effect of abandonment) 63.(1) Where there is a valid abandonment the insurer is entitled to take over the interest of the assured in whatever may remain of the subject-matter insured, and all proprietary rights incidental thereto. (2) Upon the abandonment of a ship, the insurer thereof is entitled to any freight in course of being earned, and which is earned by her subsequent to the casualty causing the loss, less the expenses of earning it incurred after the casualty; and, where the ship is carrying the owner’s goods, the insurer is entitled to a reasonable remuneration for the carriage of them subsequent to the casualty causing the loss.” 63. (1) 如果委付有效,保險人有權(quán)接管被保險人對保險標(biāo)的的一切剩余利益,以及與其有關(guān)的所有財產(chǎn)利益。 (2) 從委付船舶時起,船舶保險人有權(quán)得到正在賺取和在引起損失的事故發(fā)生后船舶收取的任何運費,減去在引起損失發(fā)生的事故后為獲得該運費所支付的費用;如果船舶裝載的是船舶所有人的貨物,保險人有權(quán)收取在引起損失發(fā)生的事故后運輸貨物的合理報酬!
部分損失(Partial Losses)
第64條 單獨海損(Particular average loss) 64.(1) A particular average loss is a partial loss of the subject-matter insured, caused by a peril insured against, and which is not a general average loss. (2) Expenses incurred by or on behalf of the assured for the safety or preservation of the subject-matter insured, other than general average and salvage charges, are called particular charges, Particular charges are not included in particular average. 64.(1)單獨海損損失是指某種承保危險造成的保險標(biāo)的的部分損失,其并非共同海損損失。 (2)除共同海損和救助費用外,由被保險人或代表被保險人,為保險標(biāo)的的安全或保存保險標(biāo)的所產(chǎn)生的費用,叫做特別費用。 特別費用不包括在單獨海損內(nèi)。
第65條 救助費用(Salvage charges) 65.(1) Subject to any express provision in the policy, salvage charges incurred in preventing a loss by perils insured against may be recovered as a loss by those perils. (2) ‘salvage charges’ means the charges recoverable under maritime law by a salvor independently of contract. They do not include the expenses of services in the nature of salvage rendered by the assured or his agents, or any person employed for hire by them, for the purpose of averting a peril insured against. Such expenses, where properly incurred, may be recovered as particular charges or as a general average loss, according to the circumstances under which they were incurred. 65.(1)除保險單另有明確規(guī)定外,為防止承保危險發(fā)生以致造成損失而產(chǎn)生的費用可以像承保危險造成的損失一樣得到賠償。 (2)“救助費用”系指非合同救助人根據(jù)海商法可主張的的費用。救助費用不包括被保險人或其代理人或其雇傭的其他人為避免承保危險而提供具有救助性質(zhì)的服務(wù)所支出的費用。此種費用的支出如屬正當(dāng),則應(yīng)根據(jù)提供服務(wù)的具體情況而將其作為特別費用或共同海損損失得到補償。
第66條 共同海損(General average loss) 66(1) A general average loss is a loss caused by or directly consequential on a general average act. It includes a general average expenditure as well as a general average sacrifice. (2) There is a general average act where any extraordinary sacrifice or expenditure is voluntarily and reasonably made or incurred in time of peril for the purpose of preserving the property imperiled in the common adventure. (3)“When there is a general average loss, the party on whom it falls is entitled, subject to the conditions imposed by maritime law, to a ratable contribution from the other parties interested, and such contribution is called a general average contribution. (4)“Subject to any express provision in the policy, where the assured has incurred a general average expenditure, he may recover from the insurer in respect of the proportion of the loss which falls upon him; and, in the case of a general average sacrifice , he may recover from the insurer in respect of the whole loss without having enforced his right of contribution from the other parties liable to contribute. (5)subject to any express provision in the policy , when the assured has paid, or is liable to pay, a general average contribution in respect of the subject insured, he may recover therefor from the insurer. (6)In the absence of express stipulation, the insurer is not liable for any general average loss or contribution where the loss was not incurred for the purpose of avoiding, or in connection with the avoidance of , a peril insured against. (7)Where ship, freight and cargo, or any two of those interests, are owned by the same assured, the liability of the insurer in respect of general average losses and contributions is to be determined as if those subjects were owned by different persons.” 66.(1)共同海損損失是由共同海損行為造成的或其直接后果所致的損失。它包括共同海損犧牲和共同海損費用。 (2)在危險發(fā)生時,為保護共同冒險(同一航程)中處于危險的財產(chǎn),如果有意而合理地作出或產(chǎn)生任何特殊犧牲或費用,即構(gòu)成共同海損行為。 (3)若發(fā)生共同海損損失,根據(jù)海商法規(guī)定的條件,遭受損失的一方有權(quán)從其他利益方得到比例分攤,這種分攤稱為共同海損分攤。 (4)除保險單另有明確規(guī)定外,被保險人遭受的共同海損費用,可以按其承擔(dān)的損失比例,從保險人處獲得賠償,而對于共同海損犧牲,被保險人無須先請求其他利益方進行分攤,即可從保險人處獲得全部損失的賠償。 (5)除保險單另有規(guī)定外,在被保險人已經(jīng)支付或有責(zé)任支付有關(guān)保險標(biāo)的的共同海損分攤時,他可以從保險人處得到相應(yīng)的賠償。 (6)在無明文規(guī)定時,保險人對不是為了避免承保危險或與此有關(guān)的共同海損損失和共同海損分攤不負責(zé)任。 (7)如果船舶、運費和貨物,或者其中任何兩種利益屬于同一被保險人,保險人對共同海損損失及分攤所負的責(zé)任,如同上列利益由不同所有人享有一樣。
賠償限額(Measure of Indemnity)
第67條 保險人對損失的責(zé)任范圍(Extent of liability of insurer for loss) 67. (1) The sum which the assured can recover in respect of a loss on a policy by which he is insured, in the case of an unvalued policy by which he is insured, in the case of an unvalued policy to the full extent of the insurable value, or, in the case of a valued policy to the full extent of the valued fixed by the policy, is called the measure of indemnity. (2) Where there is a loss recoverable under the policy, the insurer, or each insurer if there be more than one, is liable for such proportion of the measure of indemnity as the amount of his subscription bears to the value fixed by the policy in the case of a valued policy, or to the insurable value in the case of an unvalued policy. 67.(1)被保險人在其保險單項下能得到的損失賠償叫做賠償限額。對不定值保險單,賠償限額是保險標(biāo)的的全部保險價值;對定值保險單,賠償限額是保險單中的約定保險價值。 (2)在損失根據(jù)保險單可以得到賠償之場合,保險人(或兩個以上的保險人中的任何一個)按其對保險單所認可的數(shù)額同保險單約價值(就定值保險單而言)或同可保價值(就不定值保險單而論)的比例賠付賠償限額。
第68條 全損(Total loss) 68. Subject to the provisions of this Act and to any express provisions in the policy, where there is a total loss of the subject-matter insured- (1) If the policy be a valued policy, the measure of indemnity is the sum fixed by the policy; (2) If the policy be an unvalued policy, the measure of indemnity is the insurable value of the subject-matter insured. 68. 除本法另有規(guī)定和保險單另有明文規(guī)定外,保險標(biāo)的發(fā)生全損的, (1) 如果保險單是定值保險單,賠償范圍是保險單所確定的數(shù)額。 (2) 如果保險單是不定值保險單,賠償范圍是保險標(biāo)的的可保價值。
第69條 船舶的部分損失(Partial loss of ship) 69. Where a ship is damaged, but is not totally lost, the measure of indemnity, subject to any express provision in the policy, is as follows:- (1) Where the ship has been repaired, the assured is entitled to the reasonable cost of the repairs, less the customary deductions, but not exceeding the sum insured in respect of any one casualty; (2) Where the ship has been only partially repaired, the assured is entitled to the reasonable cost of such repairs, computed as above, and also to be indemnified for the reasonable depreciation, if any, arising from the unrepaired damage, provided that the aggregate amount shall not exceed the cost of repairing the whole damage, computed as above; (3) Where the ship has not been repaired, and has not been sold in her damaged state during the risk, the assured is entitled to be indemnified for the reasonable depreciation arising from the unrepaired damage, but not exceeding the reasonable cost of repairing such damage, computed as above. 69.船舶遭受損壞,但不是全部損失的,除保險單另有明文規(guī)定外,賠償范圍如下:-- (1) 對船舶進行修理的,被保險人有權(quán)獲得合理的修理費用減去習(xí)慣扣減后的數(shù)額,但就任何一次事故所支付的數(shù)額不得超過保險金額; (2) 僅對船舶進行部分修理的,被保險人有權(quán)獲得按上述方法計算的該項修理的合理費用,以及對于未修理損壞所引起的合理貶值的賠償,但是賠款總額不得超過按上述方法計算的修理全部損壞的費用。 (3) 未對船舶進行修理,且在保險期間未以其受損狀態(tài)出售該船舶的,被保險人有權(quán)就未經(jīng)修理的損壞所引起的合理貶值獲得賠償,但是賠償數(shù)額不得超過按上述方法計算的修理此項損壞的合理費用。
第70條 運費的部分損失(Partial loss of freight) 70.Subject to any express provision in the policy, where there is a partial loss of freight, the measure of indemnity is such proportion of the sum fixed by the policy, in the case of a valued policy or of the insurable value, in the case of an unvalued policy, as the proportion of freight lost by the assured bears to the whole freight at the risk of the assured under the policy. 70.受本保險任何明示規(guī)定的制約,在發(fā)生, 運費部分損失之場合,賠償限額為:對定值保險單而言,按保險單上載明的保險金額或保險價值的比例;就不定值保險單而論,按被保險人遭受的運費損失與根據(jù)保險單被保險人處于風(fēng)險中的全部運費比例。
第71條 貨物、商品等的部分損失(Partial loss of goods, merchandise, etc.) 71. Where is a partial loss of goods, merchandise, or other moveables, the measure of indemnity, subject to any express provision in the policy, is as follows: (1)Where part of the goods, merchandise or other moveables insured by a valued policy is totally lost, the measure of indemnity is such proportion of the sum fixed by the policy as the insurable value of the part lost bears to the insurable value of the whole, ascertained as in the case of an unvalued policy: (2) Where part of the goods, merchandise, or other moveables insured by an unvalued policy is totally lost, the measure of indemnity is the insurable value of the part lost, ascertained as in case of total loss: (3) Where the whole or any part of the goods or merchandise insured has been delivered damaged at its destination, the measure of indemnity is such proportion of the sum fixed by the policy in the case of the valued policy, or of the insurable value in the case of an unvalued policy, as the difference between the gross sound and damaged values at the place of arrival bears to the gross sound value: (4)“Gross value” means the wholesale price, or, if there be no such price, the estimated value, with, in either case, freight, landing charges, and duty paid beforehand; provided that, in the case of goods or merchandise customarily sold in bond, the bonded price is deemed to be the gross value. “Gross Proceeds” means the actual price obtained at a sale where all charges on sale are paid by the sellers. 71.貨物、商品或者其他動產(chǎn)發(fā)生部分損失的,除保險單另有明文規(guī)定外,賠償范圍如下: (1) 如果定值保險單承保的貨物、商品或者其他動產(chǎn)的一部分發(fā)生全損,賠償范圍為保險單確定的保險金額中的比例部分,該比例為滅失部分的可保價值占全部可保價值的比例部分?杀r值的確定與不定值保險相同; (3) 若不定值保險單承保的貨物、商品或者其他動產(chǎn)的一部分發(fā)生全損,賠償范圍為損失部分的可保價值,可保價值的確定與全損時相同; (4) 如果被保險貨物或商品的全部或者一部分以受損狀態(tài)運抵目的地,賠償范圍以(該貨物、商品的) 完好毛值與受損價值的差額占完好毛值的比例計算,在定值保險單情況下,是保險單確定的金額的該比例部分,或者,在不定值保險單情況下,是可保價值的該比例部分; (5) “毛值”是指貨物的批發(fā)價格,如果沒有這種價格,則是貨物的估計價值,不論哪一種情況,再加上已預(yù)先付訖的運費、卸貨費和關(guān)稅之后的價值;但是,如果貨物或商品按慣例在關(guān)倉出售,那么關(guān)倉價格就視為毛值!懊杖搿笔侵杆谐鍪圪M用均由出售人支付時獲得的實際出售價格!
第72條 價值的分配(Apportionment of valuation) (1) Where different species of property are insured under a single valuation, the valuation must be apportioned over the different species on proportion to their respective insurable values, as in the case of an unvalued policy The insured value of any part of a species in such proportion of the total insured value of the same as the insurable value of the part bears to the insurable value of the whole, ascertained in both cases as provided by this Act. (2) Where a valuation has to be apportioned, and particulars of the prime cost of each separate species, quality, or description of goods cannot be ascertained, the division of the valuation may be made the net arrived sound values of the different species, qualities, or description of goods. 72.(1)在不同種類的貨物按一個保險價值保險之場合,該價值必須根據(jù)不同貨物本身的保險價值的比例進行分配,如同不定值保險單的情況一樣。一種貨物的任何部分保險價值是該貨物全部保險價值中占該部分貨物價值同全部保險價值的比例部分。兩種情況下保險價值均按本法規(guī)定確定。 (2)在某個價值不得不分配,但又不能確定貨物的每個單獨種類的原始成本、質(zhì)量或細節(jié)之情況下,可以根據(jù)不同種類、質(zhì)量或細節(jié)的貨物的到港完好凈值進行劃分。
第73條 共同海損分攤和救助費用(General average contributions and salvage charges) 73(1)Subject to any express provision in the policy, where the assured has paid, or is liable for, any general average contribution, the measure of indemnity is the full amount of such contribution, if the subject matter liable to contribution is insured for its full contributory value; but, if such subject-matter be not insured for its full contributory value, or if only part of it be insured, the indemnity payable by the insurer must be reduced in proportion to the under insurance, and where there has been a particular average loss which constitutes a deduction from the contributory value, and for which the insurer is liable, that amount must be deducted from the insured value in order to ascertain what the insurer is liable to contribute. (2)Where the insurer is liable for salvage charges the extent of his liability must be determined on the like principle. (1)除保單另有規(guī)定外,如果被保險人已經(jīng)給付或有責(zé)任給付任何共同海損分攤,其賠償限額為:如果負責(zé)分攤的標(biāo)的物是按分攤價值足額投保的話,應(yīng)按共同海損分攤?cè)~賠付;如果該標(biāo)的物未按分攤價值足額投保或只投保了一部分,保險人應(yīng)支付的賠償額必須按不足額保險比例減少,而且如果發(fā)生了應(yīng)從分攤價值內(nèi)扣掉的單獨海損損失,且保險人對此負有賠償責(zé)任,則應(yīng)從保險價值中先予扣除,以便確定保險人應(yīng)承擔(dān)的分攤額。 (2) 在保險人應(yīng)負責(zé)救助費用的情況下,其責(zé)任范圍必須按相似的原則確定。
第74條 對第三方的責(zé)任(Liabilities to third parties) 74.Where the assured has effected an insurance in express terms against any liability to a third party, the measure of indemnify, subject to any express provision in the policy, is the amount paid or payable by him to such third party in respect of such liability. 74.被保險人已通過明示條款對第三方的任何責(zé)任進行投保,根據(jù)保險單上明示條款的規(guī)定,獲得補償?shù)臄?shù)額是其就這一責(zé)任向第三方支付或應(yīng)支付的數(shù)額。
第75條 關(guān)于賠償限額的一般規(guī)定(General provisions as to measure of indemnity) 75(1)Where there has been a loss in respect of any subject-matter not expressly provided for in the foregoing provisions of the Act, the measure of indemnity shall be ascertained, as nearly as may be, in accidence with those provisions, in so far as applicable to the particular case. (2) Nothing in the provisions of this Act relating to the measure of indemnity shall affect the rules relating to double insurance, or prohibit the insurer from disproving interest wholly or in part, or from showing that at the time of the loss the whole or any part of the subject-matter insured was not at risk under the policy. 75.(1)本法前文未予明文規(guī)定的保險標(biāo)的發(fā)生損失的,應(yīng)當(dāng)依據(jù)與該具體情形的適用最相近似的條款來確定賠償范圍。 (2) 本法有關(guān)計算方法的規(guī)定, 對有關(guān)重復(fù)保險的規(guī)則沒有任何影響,并且不阻止保險人全部或部分否定利益的存在,不阻止保險人表明在發(fā)生損失時,保險標(biāo)的的全部或一部分并不處于保險單項下所列的危險之中。
第76條 單獨海損保證(Particular average warranties) 76. (1) Where the subject-matter insured is warranted free from particular average, the assured cannot recover for a loss of part, other than a loss incurred by a general average sacrifice, unless the contract contained in the policy be apportionable; but, if the contract be apportionable, the assured may recover for a total loss of any apportionable part. (2) Where the subject-matter insured is warranted free from particular average, either wholly or under a certain percentage, the insurer is nevertheless liable for salvage charges, and for particular charges and other expenses properly incurred pursuant to the provisions of the suing and labouring clause in order to avert a loss insured against. (3) Unless the policy otherwise provides, where the subject-matter insured is warranted free from particular average under a specified percentage, a general average loss cannot be added to a particular average loss to make up the specified percentage. (4) For the purpose of ascertaining whether the specified percentage has been reached, regard shall be had only to the actual loss suffered by the subject-matter insured. Particular charges and the expenses of and incidental to ascertaining and proving the loss must be excluded. 76(1)如果保險標(biāo)的按不賠單獨海損條款投保,除非保險合同是可分割的,被保險人所遭受的部分損失不能獲得賠償,但屬共同海損犧牲的損失可獲賠償;若保險合同是可分割的,被保險人就任何可分割部分的全損可獲賠償。 (2)假如保險標(biāo)的按不賠單獨海損條款投保,無論是全部單損還是一定比例以下的不賠單獨海損,保險人都承擔(dān)救助費用和根據(jù)施救條款為避免可保損失而合理發(fā)生的特殊費用和其他費用。 (3)若保險標(biāo)的按一定比例以下的不賠單獨海損條款投保,共同海損損失不得加入單獨海損中以求達到該規(guī)定比例,除非保險單另有約定。 (4)確定規(guī)定的單獨海損比例是否達到時,只應(yīng)考慮保險標(biāo)的遭受的實際損失,特別費用和有關(guān)確定、證明損失的費用必須排除。
第77條 連續(xù)損失(Successive losses) 77.(1)Unless the policy otherwise provides, and subject to the provisions of this Act, the insurer is liable for successive losses, even though the total amount of such losses may exceed the sum insured. (2)Where under the same policy, a partial loss, which has not been repaired or otherwise made good, is followed by a total loss, the assured can only recover in respect of the total loss: Provided that nothing in this section shall affect the liability of the insurer under the suing and labouring clause.” 77.(1)除保險單和本法另有規(guī)定外,保險人應(yīng)對連續(xù)損失負責(zé),即使這些損失的總額會超過保險金額。 (2)在同一保險單項下,部分損失未經(jīng)修理或以其它方式回復(fù),接著又發(fā)生全損的,被保險人只能就該全損獲得賠償: 但是,本款規(guī)定不應(yīng)影響保險人根據(jù)施救條款所承擔(dān)的責(zé)任。
第78條 施救條款(Suing and labouring clause) 78.(1)Where the policy contains a suing and labouring clause, the engagement thereby entered into is deemed to be supplementary to the contract of insurance, and the assured may recover from the insurer any expenses properly incurred pursuant to the clause, notwithstanding that the insurer may have paid for a total loss, or that the subject matter may have been warranted free from particular average, either wholly or under a certain percentage. (2)General average losses and contributions and salvage charges, as defined by this Act, are not recoverable under the suing and labouring clause. (3)Expenses incurred for the purpose of averting or diminishing any loss not covered by the policy are not recoverable under the suing and labouring clause. (4)It is the duty of the assured and his agents, in all cases, to take such measures as may be reasonable for the purpose of averting or minimizing a loss. 78.(1)若保險合同中含有施救條款,則該項約定應(yīng)視為對保險合同的補充。被保險人得因履行該條款所產(chǎn)生的一切合理費用,向保險人請求賠償,即使保險人已經(jīng)賠付全損,或者該保險標(biāo)的已經(jīng)訂明單獨海損之全部或一定的百分比以下不賠,亦不影響該項費用之賠償。 (2)本法規(guī)定之共同海損損害及其分攤,或救助費用,均不得依據(jù)施救條款之規(guī)定獲得賠償。 (3)為避免或減少承保范圍以外的損失所產(chǎn)生的費用,也不得依據(jù)施救條款之規(guī)定獲得賠償。 (4)被保險人或其代理人在任何情形下,均應(yīng)采取一切合理措施防止或減少損失。

第79條 代位權(quán)(Right of subrogation) 79.(1) Where the insurer pays for a total loss, either of the whole, or in the case of goods of any apportionable part, of the subject-matter insured, he thereupon becomes entitled to take over the interest of the assured in whatever may remain of the subject-matter so paid for, and he is thereby subrogated to all the fights and remedies of the assured in and in respect of that subject-matter as from the time of the casualty. (2) subject to the foregoing provisions, where the insurer pays for a partial loss, he acquires no title to the subject-matter insured, or such part of it as may remain, but he is thereupon subrogated to all rights and remedies of the assured in and in respect of the subject-matter insured as from the time of the casualty causing the loss, in so far as the assured has been indemnified, according to this Act, by such payment for the loss. 79. (1) 保險人賠付保險標(biāo)的全損之后, 不論賠付的是整體全損,還是貨物的可分割部分的全損,均有權(quán)接管被保險人在該已賠付保險標(biāo)的上可能留下的任何利益,并從造成保險標(biāo)的損失的事故發(fā)生之時起,取得被保險人在該保險標(biāo)的上的一切權(quán)利和救濟。 (2)受前述各條款制約,在保險人賠償部分損失之場合,他并不取得該項保險標(biāo)的或其存留部分的所有權(quán),但是,根據(jù)本法,通過賠付此種損失,自造成損失的事故發(fā)生之時起,保險人代位取得被保險人對保險標(biāo)的的一切權(quán)利和救濟,但以被保險人已獲賠償額為限。”
第80條 分攤的權(quán)利(Right of contribution) 80.(1) Where the assured is over-insured by double insurance, such insurer is bound, as between himself and the other insurers, to contribute ratably to the loss in proportion to the amount for which he is liable under his contract. (2) If any insurer pays more than his proportion of the loss, he is entitled to maintain an action for contribution against the other insurers, and is entitled to the like remedies as a surety who has paid more than his proportion of the debt. 80.(1) 在被保險人因重復(fù)保險而造成超額保險之場合,各保險人相互之間有義務(wù)按其合同負責(zé)的數(shù)額比例分攤損失。 (2)任何保險人如已賠付了超過其應(yīng)攤比例的損失,有權(quán)向其他保險人追償攤回,并有權(quán)像已支付超過其債務(wù)比例的保證人那樣,取得同樣的救濟。
第81條 不足額保險的后果(Effect of under-insurance) 81.Where the assured is insured for an amount less than the insurable value or, in the case of a valued policy, for an amount less than the policy valuation, he is deemed to be his own insurer in respect of the uninsured balance. 81.在本保險投保金額少于其可保價值,或在定值保險單中,投保的金額少于保險單價值之場合,就有關(guān)該未保險余額,他應(yīng)視為是他自已的保險人。

第83條 約定退費(Return by agreement) 83.Where the policy contains a stipulation for the return of the premium, or a proportionate part thereof, on the happening of a certain event, and that event happens, the premium, or, as the case may be, the proportionate part thereof, is thereupon returnable to the assured. 83.在保險單中有發(fā)生某一事件時退還保險費或部分保險費的規(guī)定之情況下,當(dāng)發(fā)生該事件時,保險費或保險費的比例部分,由保險人退還給被保險人。
第84條 缺乏對價的退費(Return for failure of consideration) 84.(1) Where the consideration for the payment of the premium totally fails, and there has been no fraud or illegality on the part of the assure or his agents, the premium is thereupon returnable to the assured. (2) Where the consideration for the payment of the premium is apportionable and there is a total failure of any apportionable part of the consideration, a proportionate part of the premium is, under the like conditions, thereupon returnable to the assured. (3)In particular- (a) Where the policy is void, or is avoided by the insurer as from the commencement of the risk, the premium is returnable, provided that there has been no fraud or illegality on the part of the assured; but if the risk is not apportionable, and has once attached, the premium is not returnable. (b) Where the subject-matter insured, or part thereof, has never been imperiled, the premium, or, as the case may be, a proportionate part thereof, is returnable; Provided that where the subject-matter has been insured “l(fā)ost or not lost” and has arrived in safety at the time when the contract is concluded, the premium is not returnable unless, at such time, the insurer knew of the safe arrival. (c) Where the assured has no insurable interest throughout the currency of the risk, the premium is returnable, proviede that this rule does not apply to a policy effected by way of gaming or wagering; (d) Where the assured has a defeasible interest which is terminated during the currency of the risk, the premium is not returnable; (e) Where the assured has over-insured under an unvalued policy, a proportionate part of the premium is returnable; (f) Subject to the foregoing provisions, where the assured has over-insured by double insurance, a proportionate part of the several premiums is returnable; Provided that, if the policy are effected at different times, and any earlier policy has at any time borne the entire risk, or if a claim has been paid on the policy in respect of the full sum insured thereby, no premium is returnable in respect of that policy, and when the double insurance is effected knowingly by the assured no premium is returnable. 84.(1)在支付保險費所考慮的對價完全缺乏,且被保險人及其代理人不存在任何欺詐和非法行為的情況下,保險費得退還被保險人。 (2)在支付保險費所考慮的對價可以分割,且有任何可分割部分完全缺乏之場合,該比例部分的保險費得根據(jù)相同條件退還被保險人。 (3) 特別是: (a) 如果被保險人不存在欺詐或非法行為,在保險人宣布自風(fēng)險開始起,保險單無效或撤銷保險單,保險費應(yīng)予退回; 但若該風(fēng)險是不可分割的,一旦保險責(zé)任已開始,則保險費不得退回。 (b) 如果保險標(biāo)的或其他部分從未處于危險之中,保險費或該比例部分的保險費便可退回; 但是,如果保險標(biāo)的是按“無論是否已滅失”條件保險,且當(dāng)合同訂立時該條保險標(biāo)的已經(jīng)安全到達,保險費亦不得退回,除非訂立合同時,保險人已知道其業(yè)已安全到達。 (c) 如果在整個風(fēng)險存在期間,被保險人無保險利益,保險費可予退回,但這一規(guī)則對賭博性保險單不適用。 (d) 如果被保險人的可撤銷的利益于風(fēng)險存在期間終止,則保險費不能退回。 (e) 如被保險人不定值保險單中超額保險,保險費得按比例退還一部分。 (f) 除前述條款另有規(guī)定外,若被保險人經(jīng)重復(fù)保險而超額保險,幾筆保險費按比例退還。 但是,如果幾份保險單在不同時間開始生效,任何較早訂立的保險單已在任何時間承保整個保險,或保險單已就全部保險金額支付賠償,該保險單項下的保險費不能退回;若被保險人在明知的情況下訂立重復(fù)保險,保險費不予退還。
