| Quarantine Restrictions |
The Health Authorities impose these restrictions to prevent the spread of infection or contagion. The ship is isolated, no person on board being permitted to land or make direct contact with other persons outside the ship. When the port medical officer is satisfied that there is no further danger of the spread of infection or contagion the restrictions are lifted. The carrier is exempt from liability to the cargo owner for loss due to the complying with quarantine restrictions, by the authority of the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1971. |
| Quay Port |
Port where goods are discharged direct onto the quay from the overseas vessel. A port where lighters are used for discharge is called an “Overside Port” or “Craft Port”. |
| Quay to Quay |
The period of cover under a cargo policy which attaches as the goods are lifted from the quay at the port of loading and terminates when the goods are freed from the ship’s tackle or landed from craft onto the quay at the port of destination. This can be a wider cover than “Port to Port” which does not include craft risk at the port of loading, if any. |
| Quayage |
A charge made against a ship operator for use of a berth at a quayside. |
