传染性疾病的爆发会对国际贸易以及国际旅行产生重大影响。在特定的租约或提单条款以及适用法律背景下，为应对传染病爆发而采取的措施可能会造成船舶的延误或滞留，和/或因延误或滞留而自然产生相关费用。
在本指引中，我们概述了船东及船舶经营人可能会面临并触发保赔险承保事项的一些法律问题，比如因船员生病而发生的船舶绕航、遣返费用或检疫费用，或由抗辩险所承保的法律纠纷，即船东和租家之间由于传染性疾病所导致的船舶延误或相应费用支出的风险及责任分配的争议。

Infectious Diseases: Charter Party and Other Contractual Considerations
The outbreak of infectious diseases can have a significant impact upon international trade and travel worldwide. Measures taken in response to such outbreaks, when considered in the context of the specific charter party or bill of lading wordings and applicable laws, may result in the delay or detention of vessels and/or the incurring of expenses that naturally flow from such detentions or delays.
We have outlined a number of the legal issues that shipowners and operators may potentially face and trigger P&I covered incidents — such as the illness of a crew member and an ensuing deviation, repatriation expenses, or quarantine expenses — or FD&D covered disputes between owner and charterer regarding the allocation of risk and responsibility associated with infectious disease related delays or expenses.
