Valuation of Ships Clause Samples

The 'Valuation of Ships' clause establishes the method and criteria for determining the monetary value of a vessel under the contract. Typically, this clause outlines whether the ship's value will be set by mutual agreement, independent appraisal, or reference to market indices, and may specify when and how such valuations are to be conducted, such as at the time of loss or sale. Its core practical function is to ensure both parties have a clear, agreed-upon basis for calculating compensation, insurance claims, or settlement amounts, thereby reducing disputes and uncertainty regarding the ship's worth.
