Section 47:
Change of voyage.
(1) Where, after the commencement of the risk, the destination of the ship is
voluntarily changed from the destination contemplated by the policy, there is said to be a change of
voyage.
(2) Unless the policy otherwise provides, where there is a change of voyage, the insurer is discharged
from liability as from the time of change, that is to say, as from the time when the determination to
change it is manifested; and it is immaterial that the ship may not in fact have left the course of voyage
contemplated by the policy when the loss occurs.
