There is no provision for the assured to be held covered in the event that the goods are delayed for their own convenience, consequently early notice should be given to Underwriters, and their consent obtained to extend any such periods in storage, customs and the like, if the continuation of cover is not to be prejudiced.<\/p>\n<p>Delay following discharge of the goods at the destination port is still of considerable concern to Underwriters for their liability is not terminated where such delay is in the ordinary course of transit. The time limit of 60 days, if transit has not ceased prior to then, is intended to reduce the hazards of unlimited delay. It is worth stressing once more that although the clauses maintain the insurance in force during delay beyond the control of the assured, such a continuance of the policy does not make losses proximately caused by delay recoverable, even though the delay may have arisen from perils insured against.
