ABSTRACT
The law of insurance on war and strikes risks has had a colourful and interesting, but somewhat tumultuous history. Dragged through the war years, it has endured many changes most of which were made as a result of lessons learnt from hindsight. It was only through trial and error that insurance on war risks has now settled itself in the form of the Institute War and Strikes Clauses for Hulls (IWSC(H)).1 There is a set of Institute War and Strikes Clauses Hulls for time2 and one for voyage. As for cargo, insurance for war and for strikes is contained in separate clauses, namely, the Institute War Clauses (Cargo) (IWC(C))3 and the Institute Strikes Clauses (Cargo) (ISC(C))4 respectively.
