Missing Vessel Clause This insurance is also to cover a loss of the subject matter of this insurance by reason of the vessel named in this policy being missing from ANY CAUSE during the currency of this Policy and this policy WILL PAY CLAIMS hereunder accordingly WITHIN THIRTY DAYS of presentation of proper documents. If such vessel be recorded at Lloyd’s as “untraced” or “posted” as missing, she shall be DEEMED MISSING for the purpose of this insurance. No claim shall attach under this section where the specific cause of the loss of the above named vessel is proved by Underwriters hereunder prior to the due settlement date of claim under this section.
Talbot Draft Missing Vessel Clause In the event of the vessel named in this policy being recorded at Lloyd’s as “untraced” or posted as “missing” in the territorial waters of any of the countries or places or any other waters described in the current List of Areas of Perceived Enhanced Risk as may be published from time to time by the Joint War Committee, this policy will pay the sum insured in respect of that vessel within 90 days of presentation of proper documents. Under no circumstances will this policy pay more than the sum insured for war risks under this policy. In consideration of such payment war risk underwriters shall be subrogated to all rights and remedies that the assured may have against marine underwriters. In the event that such subrogation becomes necessary, the assured shall co-operate fully with war risk underwriters in the pursuit and settlement of such claim and shall furnish underwriters with all necessary documentation and assistance. If within 90 days of presentation of proper documents underwriters produce prima facie evidence that the loss is not covered by reason of an exclusion contained in this policy this clause shall become inoperative and the burden shall then rest with the assured to prove that the loss was proximately caused by a peril insured under this policy. ?
