Cap. 13 Art. 391Collisions.

(1) In cases of damage caused by a collision of vessels, the insurer shall be liable to make good the damage if the collision was accidental or was caused by the fault of the master or the crew of another vessel.

(2) Where, however, it is proved that both the vessel insured as well as the other vessel were in fault, or where it is doubtful to whose fault the collision is imputable, the damage, in cases not provided for by the Merchant Shipping Act, shall be borne in equal portions by the colliding vessels; and, in such cases, as well as in the case of a collision caused by the fault of the master or the crew of the vessel insured, the insurer is not responsible, unless he has assumed liability also for cases of barratry of the master.

(3) The liability of the insurer, in the cases contemplated in this article, is limited to the damage sustained by the vessel insured, and does not extend to any indemnity which, by reason of the collision, may be due by the vessel insured to the other vessel.
