Upon acceptance of an application, an interim binder in form as set forth in § 308.3 will be issued and there shall be deemed to be incorporated therein by reference all the terms, conditions, and warranties contained in the application for war risk protection and indemnity insurance (set forth in § 308.3) and the standard war risk protection and indemnity insurance policy (set forth in § 308.207) to the same extent as if such application and policy were made a part of the binder. The binder fee (not refundable) shall be $100 per application for American barges; $25 per application for all other American vessels; $200 per application for foreign-flag barges; and $50 per application for all other foreign-flag vessels. All fees are payable in U.S. funds by check to the order of “Maritime Administration, Department of Transportation.”
The amount insured shall be the amount stated in the application, but not in excess of $750 per gross ton of the vessel.
Owners or charterers may obtain, on an excess basis, additional war risk protection and indemnity insurance in such amounts as desired and such insurance shall not inure to the benefit of the Maritime Administrator, as underwriter.
