ABSTRACT
In time policies,193 there is no implied warranty of seaworthiness. This does not, however, mean that the question of seaworthiness is irrelevant in time policies. There is somewhat lesser provision, in respect of seaworthiness, for time policies now embodied in s 39(5). This sub-section will be the main interest of this part and its legal implications on time policies will be analysed. Before this legal examination, reasons for the distinction between voyage and time policies, in respect of the application of the implied warranty of seaworthiness, will be considered.
