The rules will take effect on 19 February 2024 (UK and US) and for cargoes loaded on or after 20 February 2024 (EU). 1 Key changes There are two key changes: Per-voyage price cap attestation – A requirement that attestations are provided on a per-voyage basis rather than on an annual basis as has previously been the case. If ship-to-ship (STS) transfer takes place, this is deemed to be a new voyage and requires a separate attestation. Itemised price information for ancillary costs – A requirement that itemised price information is provided upon request within 30 days by those with access to price information to those who do not have access, such as shipowners and insurers. Implications on the insurance A few implications on the insurance cover follows from these changes: The assured must provide the insurer with an attestation on an approved wording for each voyage within 30 days of the cargo being loaded (applicable for both loading at port and STS transfers). The assured must provide the insurer with itemised price information within 30 days of a request by the insurer. A failure to meet any of these requirements may lead to the assured not discharging its obligations towards the insurer – resulting in loss of insurance cover. Form of Attestation The form of attestation to be provided to the insurer is either: Attestation form set out in Appendix A; or Lloyd’s Market Association wording. Party to sign the Attestation The entity to sign the attestation is the “person effecting the insurance” as defined in Clause 1-1 of the Nordic Maine Insuran
