Unknown insurers: approval of insurers providing cover for the civil liability, bunkers or wreck removal conventions

Question

Accepted Answer

Unknown insurers

If your insurer is not listed in the drop down field in section 10 of the application form, it may be because the Department for Transport has not yet checked that this insurer meets the UK’s criteria to provide cover for the following conventions;

BCLC - Bunker Convention 2001
CLC - Civil Liability Convention 1992 (Tankers)
PAL - Athens Protocol 2002 and Regulation (EC) 392/2009
NWRC - Nairobi Wreck Removal Convention 2007

You may still apply for certificates from the MCA, however before we can issue these certificates your insurer will need to provide us with evidence that they fulfil our criteria.
