Investopedia explains 'Both-To-Blame Collision Clause'

As globalization grows, the shipping industry also grows. In the event of a collision the company's liabilities, and thus risk, will be limited with ocean marine insurance. An Ocean Marine Insurance provides coverage against losses for ships. It provides protection in the event of damage or destruction of a ship's hull and/or the ship's freight.

Some protections also provided under this insurance include:
- Collision of the ship with another ship or object
- A ship sinking, capsizing, or being stranded
- Fire, piracy, jettisoning (throwing overboard of property to save other property)
- Barratry (fraud or an illegal act by a ship's master or crew)

Damage due to wear and tear, dampness, decay, mold and war are not included in the coverage.
