Joint Rig CommitteeMarine Warranty Surveyors Code of Practice and Scope of Work (JR 2010/010)

Attached for underwriters use and information is a copy of the revised Joint Rig CommitteeMarine Warranty Surveyors Code of Practice (CoP) and Generic Scope of Work (GSoW)(JR2009/002), drawn up by JRC after consultation with surveyors, and others..

This Code of Practice and Generic Scope of Work replaces the 2004 Code of Practice and2005 Generic Scope of Work previously issued by JRC. It is now presented as a singledocument which underwriters may use as an Endorsement to marine energy coverages theyare issuing. In common with all JRC produced Clauses, this Clause is published by JRC, butit is expressly non-binding and JRC makes no recommendation as to its use in particularpolicies. Underwriters are of course free to offer different policy wordings and clauses to theirpolicy holders.

The Code of Practice and Scope of Work has the following objectives:

To:

Clarify the respective roles of the Marine Warranty Surveyor, the Assured, and

Underwriters Define the function of the Marine Warranty Surveyors Scope of Work.

Outline criteria for Marine Warranty Surveying activities.

Establish guidelines for communication with underwriters.

This Endorsement also gives Underwriters the option of specifying the application of anProject Specific Scope of Work (PSoW) where they think this is required,

Should underwriters have any questions on the background, & use of this Code of Practiceand Scope of Work, please contact John Gurtenne, secretary to the Joint Rig Committee([email protected] 020 7327 4045, or Len Messenger, Chairman of the JRCsEngineering and Survey Sub-Committee, on 020 7648 3577.
