In the event of alienation or bareboat charter of the vessel, the insurance shall continue ipso jure in favour of the new owner or charterer, on condition that he informs the insurer within ten days and fulfils all the obligations which the insured had towards the insurer by virtue of the contract.
The insurer may, however, cancel the contract within one month of receiving notification of the alienation or charter. This cancellation will only take effect fifteen days after notification.
The alienator or charterer remains liable for the payment of premiums due prior to the alienation or charter.
