“(g) In the event of the imminence or existence of any of the following:—War between any nations or civil war: prohibition, restriction or control by any Government of intercourse, commercial or otherwise, with any country from at or to which the vessel normally proceeds or calls: control or direction by any Government or other Authority of the use or movements of the vessel or the insulated or other space in the vessel: the Carrier and/or his Agents and/or the Master, if he or they consider that the vessel or her Master, Officers, Crew, Passengers or any of them or cargo or any part thereof will be subject to loss, damage, injury, detention or delay in consequence of the said war, civil war, prohibition, restriction, control or direction, may at any time before or after the commencement of the voyage alter or vary or depart from the proposed or advertised or agreed or customary route or voyage and/or delay or detain the vessel and/or discharge the cargo (for delivery or storage or transhipment) at or off any port or ports, place or places without being liable for any loss or damage whatsoever directly or indirectly sustained by the Owner of the goods. If and when the goods are so discharged at such port or ports, place or places, they shall be landed or put into craft or vessels at the expense and risk of the Owner of the goods and the Carrier’s responsibility shall cease on discharge, the Carrier, Master or Agents giving notice of such discharge to the Consignee of the goods so far as he is known. The vessel, in addition to any liberties expressed or implied herein, shall have liberty to comply with any orders or directions as to departure, arrival, route, voyage, ports of call, delay, detention, discharge (for delivery or storage or transhipment), or otherwise howsover, given by any Government or any Department thereof, or any person acting or purporting to act with the authority of any Government or of any Department thereof, or by any Committee or person having under the terms of the War Risks Insurance on the vessel the right to give such orders or directions, and if by reason of or in compliance with any such orders or directions or by reason of the exercise by the Carrier of any other liberty mentioned in this clause anything is done or is not done the same shall be within this contract. Discharge under any liberty mentioned in this clause shall, notwithstanding anything contained in the Bill of Lading, constitute due delivery of the goods under this Bill of Lading and the Owner and/or Consignee of the goods shall bear and pay all charges and expenses resulting from such discharge, and the full freight stipulated herein, if not prepaid, shall on such discharge become immediately due and payable by the Owner and/or Consignee of the goods, and if freight has been prepaid the Carrier shall be entitled to retain the same. The vessel is free to carry contraband, explosives, munitions or warlike stores, and may sail armed or unarmed.”
