BLOCK 2. INSURANCE POLICY
LEAD-IN ¨ What is an insurance policy? What contract does it prove? ¨ What is the difference between a cover note and a policy? ¨ What kinds of policy do you know? ¨ Compare insurance policy and cover note (p.544-545, p.559-560). What are the main features of both? Is there any difference between them? If any, define it.
When the insurance is arranged between the underwriters (the insurers) and the suppliers (the insured), a cover note is issued to the insured by their insurance underwriters. This brief notice tells the insured that their goods are “covered” and that the insurance policy will soon be issued.
The policy is the principle document and is the instrument embodying the contract. But as the policy may cover a certain period of time, or many shipments of goods. Another document is used called the certificate. This is used for each shipment that is made, the particulars of the consignment are entered on a declaration form and the insurance agents issue the certificate to the senders on behalf of the insurers.
There are various kinds of policy, such as a “voyage” policy, which is used for one voyage only. A “time” policy is used for a period of time.
More commonly used is the “floating” policy which covers large quantities of goods for a period (often for one year). Each shipment requires a separate certificate. There is also an arrangement called “Open Cover”, where all consignments are covered by the insurer.
Marine insurance offers shippers a variety of policies to cover shipments. However, most exporters ship under an all-risk, valued policy which covers them against most eventualities and allows them compensation for loss or damage, plus ten per cent. The premium is the money paid by the insured for their policy. It is quoted as a percentage. For example, in the UK it is quoted as pence per £ 100. 75 % is 75p for £ 100 insured. FOCUS 1.

FOCUS 2. COMMENTARY AND VOCABULARY NOTES
" Стихийное бедствие" имеет в английском языке, по меньшей мере, несколько соответствий. Это " calamity", " Act of God", " Act of the Elements", “elemental disaster”, “natural disaster”. Слово " calamity" широко употребляется в разговорной речи и страховании. Однако, чаще в страховых документах встречается другой вариант - " Act of God". Это выражение традиционно для письменного языка документов, где в значительной степени сохранились и устаревшая лексика, и устаревшие грамматические формы. " Act of the Elements" аналогично выражению " Act of God". В контрактах, хотя и реже, также употребляются различные выражения аналогичные “elemental disaster” и “natural disaster”.

¨ What is so specific about marine insurance?
¨ What is Lloyd’s famous for?
¨ What is the company called after?
Lloyd’s of London is by far the most important centre for marine and civil aviation insurance in the world. In the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, marine insurance agents called “underwriters” met in Edward Lloyd’s coffee house in the City of London, and over the centuries their business grew and Lloyd’s is now situated in Leadenhall Street in the City of London.
Lloyd’s is not an insurance company, but an international insurance market consisting of over 260 approved insurance brokers’ firms and more than 20, 000 underwriters whose activities are controlled by Lloyd’s Council which came into being after the Lloyd’s Act 1982.
If insurance is to be effected through a Lloyd’s underwriter, the transaction has to go through a Lloyd’s broker who, working on a consignment basis, will contact one or more underwriters on behalf of his client to get a competitive rate. Underwriters finance the insurance, which means they pay the claims, and take the premiums as their fees. They usually work in syndicates, spreading the risk.
Lloyd’s publishes an important journal called “Lloyd’s List” which gives daily information about losses, casualties and sinkings at sea.
“Lloyd’s Register of Shipping” is published annually, and contains detailed information of ships including age, conditions, tonnage and other classifications.

III.[7] The Organiser agrees that it shall at its sole cost arrange insurance against the Event not taking place for any reason for the benefit of the Organiser and the Sponsor in the sum of _____ so that the cost of _____ may be recouped in such case by the Sponsor.

FOCUS 2. COMMENTARY AND VOCABULARY NOTES
COMMENTARY 1. See IV. … moneys … - денежные суммы
Одним из распространенных способов образования новых лексических единиц в английском языке является модификация значения во множественном числе. В частности большое количество абстрактных имен существительных, не имеющих в своем основном значении множественного числа, получают форму множественного числа со значением, отличным от основного. Например,
security (безопасность; обеспечение – нет формы множественного числа) → security (ценная бумага – множественное число securities);
insurance (страхование - нет формы множественного числа) → insurance (договор страхования - множественное число insurances); insurances (акции страховых компаний – нет формы единственного числа);
money (деньги – нет формы множественного числа) → moneys (денежные суммы – нет формы единственного числа)
COMMENTARY 2. See V.
… on a.a.r. conditions… - …на условиях “от всех рисков”
→ a.a.r. - “against all risks”
Сокращения в страховании
Страхование – это область, где используется большое количество сокращений. Среди них, следует выделить следующие основные группы:

¨ названия организаций, ассоциаций, участников процесса страхования (например, NMA – Non-marine Association; Ag - agent);
¨ названия документов (например, A.F.B. – air freight bill; A.H.F. – American Hull Form);

Dialogue 1
А. В нашем случае, я думаю, покупатель принимает на себя все заботы и расходы по страхованию поставляемого по контракту оборудования с момента отгрузки с завода продавца до момента получения заводом покупателя.
B. I think, besides, the buyers bear expenses for insurance from the sellers’ works up to the moment of loading the goods on board the vessel at the port of shipment.
A. Да. Страхование должно производиться от всех рисков на полную стоимость контракта. У Вас есть еще дополнения или предложения по этому пункту?
B. Yes. Do you object to including the provision that within 30 days of the signing of the contract the buyers shall send to the sellers the insurance policy covering insurance of the equipment from the moment of its despatch from the sellers’ works. Now I think it’s complete.
А. Практически, да. Следует добавить незначительные детали. Во-первых, в Вашем варианте пропущено, что полис выписывается на имя продавца. Во-вторых, Вы совершенно верно указали момент, с которого следует осуществлять страхование. Однако также надо указать, что страхование осуществляется до момента погрузки товара на борт судна в порту.
B. I cannot agree more.
Dialogue 2
А. Прежде чем мы будем обсуждать остальные пункты контракта, думаю, мы должны решить вопрос о страховании. Насколько я знаю, Вы подготовили проект такого пункта.
В. Right you are. We have made up three variants and it’s time for us to look into them. First, the Organiser agrees that it shall at its sole cost arrange insurance against the Event not taking place for any reason.
A. Да, здесь я вижу, что страхование обеспечивается в пользу Организатора и Спонсора. Думаю, что необходимо указать, что стоимость в этом случае должна быть возмещена Спонсору в полном объеме.
В. No objections. Besides, the Organiser agrees to provide the Sponsor with validated copies of such insurance policies upon request.
A. У Вас написано, что организаторы согласны, что сами не допустят какого-либо действия или бездействия и не разрешат третьим лицам совершение любых действий, которые привели бы к объявлению страховых полисов недействительными. Здесь, мне кажется следует внести дополнение: «или которое предотвратит их вступление в силу».
В. Well, I don’t mind. On top of all, I suppose we could also add the sentence marked in red ink in our variant No 3. “Any sums paid by the insurers to the Organisers which are for the benefit of the Sponsor shall immediately be paid to the Sponsor without delay”.

BLOCK 2. INSURANCE POLICY
LEAD-IN
¨ What is an insurance policy? What contract does it prove?
¨ What is the difference between a cover note and a policy?
¨ What kinds of policy do you know?
¨ Compare insurance policy and cover note (p.544-545, p.559-560).
What are the main features of both? Is there any difference between them?
If any, define it.
When the insurance is arranged between the underwriters (the insurers) and the suppliers (the insured), a cover note is issued to the insured by their insurance underwriters. This brief notice tells the insured that their goods are “covered” and that the insurance policy will soon be issued.
The policy is the principle document and is the instrument embodying the contract. But as the policy may cover a certain period of time, or many shipments of goods. Another document is used called the certificate. This is used for each shipment that is made, the particulars of the consignment are entered on a declaration form and the insurance agents issue the certificate to the senders on behalf of the insurers.
There are various kinds of policy, such as a “voyage” policy, which is used for one voyage only. A “time” policy is used for a period of time.
More commonly used is the “floating” policy which covers large quantities of goods for a period (often for one year). Each shipment requires a separate certificate. There is also an arrangement called “Open Cover”, where all consignments are covered by the insurer.
Marine insurance offers shippers a variety of policies to cover shipments. However, most exporters ship under an all-risk, valued policy which covers them against most eventualities and allows them compensation for loss or damage, plus ten per cent.
The premium is the money paid by the insured for their policy. It is quoted as a percentage. For example, in the UK it is quoted as pence per £ 100. 75 % is 75p for £ 100 insured.
