Situation / シチュエーション(Reference again)

Reviewing insurance conditions and constructing comprehensive insurance schemes for construction period risks requested by overseas shipowners for passenger ship construction.
客船建造で海外船主からの建造期間中の保険条件見直し要求に対する包括的な保険スキーム構築を行う場面です。

👨‍💼【Teacher / Shipowner Representative】:
Thank you for meeting with me today. We need to discuss the insurance conditions for the vessel under construction. We are concerned about the current coverage and risk allocation during the building period.
(本日はお時間をいただきありがとうございます。建造中の船舶の保険条件について話し合う必要があります。建造期間中の現在の補償範囲とリスク分担について懸念しています。)
🧑‍🎓【Student / Sales Representative】:
I understand your concerns. Let me explain our current insurance structure. We provide builder's risk insurance that covers major construction risks including fire, storm damage, and material defects. The coverage starts from keel laying and continues until delivery. However, we need to review the specific areas you want to improve.
(ご懸念は理解しております。現在の保険体制について説明させてください。火災、暴風雨による損害、材料の欠陥を含む主要な建造リスクをカバーする建造者危険保険を提供しています。補償は起工から引き渡しまで継続します。ただし、改善をご希望される具体的な範囲を確認する必要があります。)

👨‍💼【Teacher / Shipowner Representative】:
We require extended coverage for delay risks and third-party liability. Can you arrange additional insurance to cover these areas? We also want to confirm the insurance limit and deductible amounts.
(遅延リスクと第三者賠償責任に対する補償範囲の拡大を求めます。これらの範囲をカバーする追加保険を手配していただけますか。また、保険限度額と免責金額も確認したいです。)
🧑‍🎓【Student / Sales Representative】:
Yes, we can arrange that. We will contact our insurance company to include delay coverage up to 180 days and third-party liability up to 50 million USD. The current insurance limit is 800 million USD with a deductible of 500000 USD. We can reduce the deductible to 300000 USD if you approve the additional premium of 2 percent.
(はい、手配できます。最大180日間の遅延補償と最大5000万米ドルの第三者賠償責任を含めるよう保険会社に連絡いたします。現在の保険限度額は8億米ドルで免責額は50万米ドルです。追加保険料2パーセントをご承認いただければ、免責額を30万米ドルに引き下げることができます。)

👨‍💼【Teacher / Shipowner Representative】:
That sounds reasonable. However, we need clarification on who will pay for the additional premium. Will the shipyard cover this cost, or do we need to share it?
(それは妥当に思えます。しかし、追加保険料を誰が支払うのか明確にする必要があります。造船所がこの費用を負担するのか、それとも分担する必要がありますか。)
🧑‍🎓【Student / Sales Representative】:
We propose to share the additional premium. The shipyard will pay 60 percent and you will pay 40 percent. This reflects the risk allocation between both sides. We believe this is a fair approach considering the benefits for both parties. If you agree, we can prepare the revised insurance proposal by the end of this week.
(追加保険料の分担を提案いたします。造船所が60パーセント、貴社が40パーセントをお支払いいただきます。これは双方のリスク分担を反映しています。双方にとっての利益を考慮すると、これは公正な方法だと考えます。ご同意いただければ、今週末までに改訂保険提案書を準備できます。)

👨‍💼【Teacher / Shipowner Representative】:
I appreciate your proposal. Please send us the detailed insurance plan including all coverage terms and premium breakdown. We will review it with our legal team and get back to you early next week.
(ご提案に感謝します。すべての補償条件と保険料の内訳を含む詳細な保険計画を送ってください。法務チームと確認して来週初めにご連絡いたします。)
