Steamship Mutual вносит изменения в зоны высокого риска в Красном море для Charterers и Non-Pooled covers
Marine Insurance P&I Club News — 14 August 2026
Ссылаясь на сохраняющуюся ситуацию в Красном море, Directors of Steamship Mutual воспользовались своими полномочиями согласно Rules Club и направили 72-hour notice of cancellation, затрагивающее все Charterers P&I and Damage to Hull policies, а также все Owned and Chartered Non-Pooled policies, включая Fixed Premium Owned P&I entries.
Cover будет восстановлено с 00:00 GMT в Sunday, 16 August 2026, с включением newly defined Red Sea High Risk Areas, охватывающих Indian Ocean, Gulf of Aden и Red Sea.
Использование 72-hour cancellation notices является стандартным механизмом, доступным P&I clubs согласно их правилам, позволяющим им изменять географическую подверженность риску при изменении операционных условий. Since late 2023 multiple International Group of P&I Clubs and war risk underwriters have issued comparable amendments, reflecting the elevated threat environment in the region.
Newly Defined High Risk Area Boundaries
Designated waters are enclosed by the following boundaries:
- Northwest: the Red Sea, south of Latitude 25°30'N
- Northeast: from the Yemen border at 16°38.5'N, 53°6.5'E to high seas point 14°55'N, 53°50'E
- East: a line from high seas point 14°55'N, 53°50'E to high seas point 10°48'N, 60°15'E, thence to high seas point 6°45'S, 48°45'E
- Southwest: from the Somalia border at 1°40'S, 41°34'E to high seas point 6°45'S, 48°45'E
These boundaries exclude coastal waters of adjoining territories (save for the Bab el-Mandeb Traffic Separation Scheme, Yemen, and the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia) up to 12 nautical miles offshore, unless otherwise provided.
Terms Unchanged; Buyback Available
All other terms and conditions remain unamended. Members whose vessels are in or entering these areas are advised to contact their Underwriters to obtain terms and conditions for a buyback of this exclusion.
Buyback arrangements allow members to purchase reinstatement of cover for designated high risk waters in exchange for additional premium. The specific terms depend on factors such as vessel type, cargo, and trading pattern.
