The Ever Given: Potential Liabilities and Insurance Cover
Frank Stevens
Abstract
In March 2021, the Suez Canal was completely blocked for six days when the Ever Given ran aground. The incident obviously gave rise to several liability and insurance issues. This contribution discusses the insurance coverage of the hull damage suffered by the Ever Given, the argument as to whether or not a salvage agreement had been concluded and the insurance coverage for the resulting salvage awards, whether there is liability for delay in the sea carriage of goods, and the potential impact of the general average that was declared by the owner of the Ever Given.
Keywords
