Captain Zarir Irani’s Introduction while presenting a conference paper:
Captain Zarir Irani Presentation
on Marine insurance and warranty at the offshore
support Vessel Technology Forum held in AbuDhabi.
In a well-researched presentation Capt. Zarir
lrani spoke about the Act, Principles, Warranties,
Common Findings related to the marine insurance
sector. He mentioned that worldwide Marine insurance
contracts take into consideration the statute
mentioned in the Marine Insurance Act 1906 and
the majority of the worldwide marine insurance
is governed by this Act. During his talk he
pointed out the five basic principles of marine
insurance that should be adhered to viz: Insurable
interest, Utmost Good Faith, Proximate Cause.,
indemnity and Subrogation. He categorically
stated that all contracts of marine insurance
are contracts ‘Uberrimae Fidei’ i.e. of the
utmost good faith’ and if the utmost good faith
is not observed by either party, the contract
may be voided by the other party (the underwriters).
Proximate Cause (or ‘causa proxima’) is derived
from the legal dictum causa proxima non remota
spectatur’. This means that ‘the proximate and
not the remote cause to be considered’. The
Act provides that the insurer is liable for
any loss proximately caused by a peril insured
against the mentioned.
Capt. Irani clearly explained the warranty clauses
and its meaning. In his well-attended paper,
he mentioned that a warranty’s the same as a
“condition” on any other type of insurance policy.
It is an express or implied contractual undertaking
by the assured that something will or will not
be done.
