3.5.3 DIVERSIONS TO UNDERTAKE REPAIRS

In case of damage to or failure of any part of the vessel’s engines or other parts which require repairs at a port en route, both the Hull and Machinery and P&I covers may be involved. Consequently, the Company must be informed, enabling them to contact both insurers. The Hull and Machinery insurer may wish to instruct a surveyor to inspect the damage.
