Rule 38 Release Contributions

Release the Insured Owner from further Contributions in respect of such ship, wholly or partly or upon such terms as the Managers in their discretion may deem to be appropriate in the circumstances;
3.8.1.2
Whether or not negotiations may have taken place with the view to the application of Rule 38.1.1, assess at the date of the cesser of insurance the amount which seems to the Managers in their discretion to represent the likely liability of the Insured Owner for further contributions in respect of such ship.

The Insured Owner shall be under no liability for any Contributions which the Directors may decide to levy after the date of a release given under Rule 38.1.1 or after the date of an assessment made under Rule 38.1.2, as the case may be, and the Insured Owner shall have no right to share in any return of Contributions or other monies which the Directors may thereafter decide to make in accordance with Rule 31.
