    5. 5.1 This insurance

    5.1.1 attaches only as the subject-matter insured and as to any part as that

    part is loaded on an oversea vessel and

    5.1.2 terminates, subject to 5.2 and 5.3 below, either as the subject-matter

    insured and as to any

    part as that part is discharged from an oversea vessel at the final port

    or place of discharge, or

    on expiry of 15 days counting from midnight of the day of arrival of the

    vessel at the final port or place of discharge, whichever shall first occur;

    at the final port or place of discharge, the vessel sails therefrom, and

    subject-matter insured and as to any part as that part is loaded on the

    on-carrying vessel for the voyage;

    5.3.2 in the case of the subject-matter not having been discharged, when the

    vessel sails from such

    deemed final port of discharge; thereafter this insurance terminates in

    accordance with 5.1.4.

    submerged, is extended whilst the subject-matter insured or any part thereof is

    on craft whilst in transit to or from the oversea vessel, but in no case beyond the

    liberty granted to carriers under the contract of carriage.
