Voyage

In maritime law. The passing of a vessel by sea from one place, port or country to another. The term is held to include the enterprise entered upon, and not merely the route. Friend v. Insurance Co., 113 Mass. 326.

— Foreign voyage. A voyage to some port or place within the territory of a foreign nation. The terminus of a voyage determines its character. If it be within the limits of a foreign jurisdiction, it is a foreign voyage, and not otherwise. Taber v. United States, i Story, 1, Fed. Cas. No. 13,722; The Three Brothers, 2S Fed. Cas. 1,162.

— Voyage insured. In insurance law. A transit at sea from the terminus a quo to the terminus ad quem, in a prescribed course of navigation, which is never set out in any policy, but virfually forms parts of all policies, and is as binding on the parties there, to as though it were minutely detailed. 1 Am. Ins. 333.

— Voyage policy. See Policy or Insurance.

2 A passage by water from one place to another. As applied to vessels engaged in foreign and inter- State commerce, is not used of a tug making short trips from one body of water to another.' In a policy of marine insurance, the enterprise begun; not, the route taken.* Not limited to the passage of a vessel from one port to another, but may include several ports. ^ Foreign voyage. A voyage to some port or place within the territory of a foreign nation. Not, then, a whaling voyage into the northern seas.* But may include, as within the meaning of the Coasting Act of 1793, a voyage to a place within the waters of the United States, for trade.'

marine law, is the passage of a ship upon the seas, from one port to another, or to several ports. Every voyage must have a terminus d@ quo and a terminus ad quem. When the insurance is fora limited time, the two extremes of that time are the termini of the voyage insured. When a ship is insured, both outward and homeward, for one entire premium, this with reference to the insurance, is considered but one voyage; and the terminus a quo, is also the terminus ad quem. Marsh Ins. B. 1, c. 7,8. 5. As to the commencement and ending of the voyages, see “ Risk.” The voyage, with reference to the legality of it, is sometimes confounded with the traffic in which the ship is engaged, and is frequently said to’ be illegal, only because the trade is so. But a voyage may be lawful, and yet the transport of certain goods on board the ship may be prohibited; or the voyage may be illegal, though the transport of the goods be. lawful. Marsh. Ins. B. 1, c. 6,s.1. See Lex Merc. Amer. c. 10, 8s. 143 Park, Ins. ch. 12; Wesk. Ins. tit. Voyages; and Deviation.
