ABSTRACT
The topic of this chapter is marine insurance for detainment of vessels by a foreign state. The chapter analyses the amendment of the rules on marine insurance for intervention by foreign states in the revision of the Nordic Marine Insurance Plan 2013, Version 2019, in the light of the Norwegian arbitration case Team Tango delivered in April 2019. The chapter explores the concept of intervention “for the furtherance of an overriding national or supranational political objective” as an insured event and peril insured against under the war risk insurance and discusses how the case would be resolved based on the regulation on combination of perils. The chapter also discusses how the Team Tango case would have been resolved according to the UK marine insurance clauses.
