Clause 15-10. Relationship to Chapter 11
The provisions in this Section shall apply in addition to the provisions contained in Chapter 11.
Clause 15-11. Deprivation of the use of the vessel
If the assured has been deprived of the use of the vessel by an intervention by a foreign State power, for which the insurer is liable under Cl. 2-9, sub-clause 1 (a) or (b), the assured may claim compensation for total loss if the vessel has not been recovered within twelve months from the day the intervention took place.
If the assured has been deprived of the use of the vessel by acts for which the insurer is liable under Cl. 2-9, sub-clause 1 (c), the assured may claim compensation for total loss if the vessel has not been recovered within twelve months from the day when such act deprived the assured of the use of the vessel.
If the assured has been deprived of the use of the vessel by an act of piracy or by similar unlawful interventions for which the insurer is liable under Cl. 2-9, sub-clause 1 (d), the assured may claim compensation for total loss if the vessel has not been recovered within twelve months from the day when such acts deprived the assured of the use of the vessel.
If it has been established before expiry of the time-limits in sub-clauses 1, 2 and 3 that the assured will not recover the vessel, the assured may immediately claim compensation for total loss.
If the assured has brought a claim for a total loss and the time-limits stipulated have expired, it is irrelevant for the assured’s claim that the vessel is recovered at a later time.
Cl. 11-8 and Cl. 11-9 shall apply correspondingly.

The provision is, strictly speaking, unnecessary, but it does provide an appropriate bridge between Chapter 11 and the other rules in the Section.
