Identification of Assured with his servants in Marine Insurance : With focus on Shipowning structures, Master and Crew

Abstract

The topic of this thesis is to examine identifiction problems in marine insurance related to assured and his servants together with a focus on shipowning entities and shipmanagement organisation. For the sake of simplicity, by marine insurance, it is meant hull insurance for ocean-going ships, i.e. casualty insurance covering material loss of or damage to hull and machinery. That’s because the concept of other shipowning insurances does not differ in terms of the identification concept, except P&I insurance which consists of special set of rules that are not part of a systematic law approach.
