Perils of the seas v Perils on the seas

Apa yang dimaksud dengan Perils of the seas v Perils on the seas ?

Istilah “Perils of the seas” dapat ditemukan di Marine Insurance Act 1906 antara lain sbb:

Maritime perils means the perils consequent on, or incidental to, the navigation of the sea, that is to say, perils of the seas, fire, war perils, pirates, rovers, thieves, captures, seisures, restraints, and detainments of princes and peoples, jettisons, barratry, and any other perils, either of the like kind or which may be designated by the policy.

The term “perils of the seas” refers only to fortuitous accidents or casualties of the seas. It does not include the ordinary action of the winds and waves.

The term “perils of the seas” is deemed to include sinking, capsizing, heavy weather, grounding, stranding and contact of the ship with any substance other than water.

Perils of the seas atau bahaya dari laut berhubungan dengan peristiwa yang terjadi tiba-tiba, tidak terduga, atau peristiwa yang tidak tertentu di laut, yang tidak mengandung pengertian kejadian biasa (normal). Contohnya, kejadian biasa yang diakibatkan oleh angin dan gelombang tidak merupakan bahaya dari laut (perils of the seas) karena kejadian itu memang pasti terjadi selama pelayaran. Perils of the seas dapat mengakibatkan kapal tenggelam (sinking), terbalik (capsizing) terdampar (stranding), kandas (grounding), dan tubrukan dengan objek lain selain air (contact of the ship with any substance other than water) dan lain-lain yang mungkin terjadi yang diakibatkan oleh keganasan gelombang laut atau angin topan.

Perils on the seas atau bahaya di laut adalah bahaya yang bukan diakibatkan oleh keganasan gelombang atau angin topan tetapi bahaya yang di akibatkan oleh kebakaran (fire), perang (war perils), pembajakan (pirates), perompakan (rovers), pencurian (thieves), penangkapan (captures), penahanan oleh pejabat berwenang, penguasa atau penduduk (seisures, restraints, and detainments of princes and peoples), pembuangan muatan atau bagian kapal ke laut (jettisons), pemberontakan awak kapal (barratry), dan bahaya-bahaya di laut lainnya (and any other perils).

Dalam buku “Cargo and goods in transit insurances” P90 JC Potter dapat ditemukan pembagian kategori risiko dalam Marine Insurance menjadi (1) Natural perils of the sea, (2) Unnatural perils of the sea, dan (3) Loss or damage during land transit.
