Area Covered
Marine Insurance has obvoiusly a close connection with insurance law, the Institute having a particular focus on insurance contracts. The Institute has contributed heavily to the development of marine insurance agreements.
The most important agreement in this area is the Norwegian Marine Insurance Plan from 1996, prepared by a broad committee with professors from our institute acting as chairperson and secretary.The Plan is revised by the same committee from time to time. A professor from us has also chaired the committee for insurance contract terms for the transport of goods.
