An applicant for Second Seamen's war risk insurance shall not state the amount of insurance desired, which shall be as provided in § 308.303.
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 Second Seamen's war risk insurance (set forth in § 308.3) and the Second Seamen's War Risk Policy (1955) (set forth in § 308.306) to the same extent as if such application and policy were made a part of the binder. The binder fee (not refundable) shall be $75 per application for American vessels and $150 per application for foreign-flag vessels. All fees are payable in U.S. funds by check to the order of “Maritime Administration, Department of Transportation.”
The amounts insured are the amounts specified in the Second Seamen's War Risk Policy (1955) or as modified by shipping articles, collective bargaining agreements or other applicable employment agreements which are in effect as of the date of a casualty involving the subject vessel. Upon the attachment of this binder, the number of crew members and modified benefits payable as of that date shall be declared immediately to the Underwriting Agent that issued the binder. Any subsequent changes shall be likewise declared.
All casualties occurring after insurance under a binder has attached shall be reported promptly to, and all claim documents filed with, “Maritime Administration, Attention: Chief, Office of Marine Insurance.”
The standard form of Second Seamen's War Risk Policy Form MA-242, may be obtained from MARAD's underwriting agent or MARAD.
