A Study on the Problem of Insurance Terms Choice in the Marine Cargo Insurance Contract

해상적하보험계약(海上積荷保驗契約)에 있어서 보험조건선택(保險條件選擇)의 문제점(問題點)에 관한 고찰(考察)

On choosing insurance terms it would be a reasonable choice to choose insurance terms in proportion to how much risk is to be with considering of how much risk is exactly to be in a cargo's owner of his or hers as there are conditions such as a character of cargo, a packing condition, a loading ship, a shipping section, and a premium. But when we see on the present state of the statistical insurance table, the effects are entirely different from it stated above and these serious problems are of both the problem to prove who is on duty and the problem to cover how much the indemnity are to be. When we see a shipper as the insured, in the last 3 years that all risks has been more than 95 percent is to prove the reason mentioned above and there would be an intention for the shipper to transfer a claim for the indemnity to the insurer to evade from the complexity. Also when we see how much both I.C.C and New I.C.C is used, New I.C.C has been used less two times than I.C.C, that is due to the restriction of the scale of covering the indemnity. So both the introduction of trade clause as to insured in the same line of business and the positive application, taking into account of the principle of proving who is on duty and the scale of covering the indemnity, are to be accomplished.

우리나라 보험통계현황(保險統計現況)에서 보면 수출적하(輸出積荷)인 경우가 최근 3년간 전위험담보조건(全危驗擔保條件)이 95%이상을 상회하고 있다는 것과 신(新). 구약관(舊約款)의 사용내역을 보면 구약관(舊約款)의 사용이 2배 이상을 상회한다는 것을 보여주고 있다. 이는 하주(荷主)의 입장에서 보면 적하보험약관상(積荷保險約款上) 입증책임(立證責任)과 손해보상범위(損害補償範圍)에 문제점이 있다는 것을 설명해주고 있다. 또한 하주(荷主)의 보험마인드에도 운송인에의 구상권행사(求償權行使)가 복잡함으로써 보험자에게 전가(轉嫁)하려고 하는 의도도 있겠다. 따라서 피보험자(被保險者)인 입장에서 입증책임(立證責任)의 원칙과 손해보상범권(損害補償範圈)에 있어서는 화물의 특성을 고려한 동업자약관(同業者約款)(Trade Clause)의 도입(導入)과 적극적인 활용(活用)이 이루어져야 할 것이다.
