Article L173-7 of the French Insurance Code

Guaranteed arrival insurance may only be taken out, on pain of nullity, with the agreement of the ship’s insurers.

When a sum is insured in this way, proof of the insurable interest results from the acceptance of the sum thus guaranteed.

The insurer is only liable in the event of total loss or abandonment of the vessel as a result of a risk covered by the policy; it has no right to the goods abandoned.

Article L173-7

L’assurance sur bonne arrivée ne peut être contractée, à peine de nullité, qu’avec l’accord des assureurs du navire.

Lorsqu’une somme est assurée à ce titre, la justification de l’intérêt assurable résulte de l’acceptation de la somme ainsi garantie.

L’assureur n’est tenu que dans les cas de perte totale ou de délaissement du navire à la suite d’un risque couvert par la police ; il n’a aucun droit sur les biens délaissés.
