The Lloyd’s Register Technical Association (LRTA) was established in 1920 with the primary objective of sharing technical expertise and knowledge within Lloyd’s Register. Publications have consistently been released on a yearly basis, with a brief interruption between 1938 and 1946. These publications serve as a key reference point for best practices and were initially reserved for internal use to maximise LR’s competitive advantage. Today, the LRTA takes a fresh approach, focusing on collaboration by combining professional expertise from across LRF & Group to ensure a frequent output of fresh perspectives and relevant content. The LRTA has evolved into a Group-wide initiative that identifies, captures, and shares knowledge spanning various business streams and functions. To support this modern approach, the LRTA has adopted a new structure featuring representatives and senior governance across the business streams and the LR Foundation. The Lloyd's Register Technical Association Papers should be seen as historical documents representing earlier viewpoints and are not reflective of current thinking and perspectives by the current LR Technical Association.

This fourth edition of Marine Insurance Legislation is a comprehensive and fully updated annotation of the UK's Marine Insurance Act 1906, setting out the authorities on which the legislation was based and the manner in which the legislation has been construed, with cross-references to the Institute Clauses. The book sets out the text of English Marine insurance legislation and the most important of the market clauses (the Institute Clauses) used in respect of Marine policies written in the London Market. The legislation is heavily annotated, with the operation of each section of the Marine Insurance Act 1906 explained, and references are given to the most important of the early cases upon which the sections are based. There is also comprehensive annotation and explanation of cases decided under the sections of the 1906 Act, with cross-references to the Institute Clauses. Key developments in this fourth edition include the introduction of the new Cargo Clauses in January 2009.
