Identify the work
Describe the task, vessel, territory, dates, access arrangements and any shipyard, marina or customer requirements.
INSURANCE & LIABILITY
Clear responsibilities.
Before work begins.
Your service agreement should make the scope, responsibilities and applicable insurance requirements clear. PELASTRION remains accountable for the work it agrees to deliver.
AGREE THE REQUIREMENTS
The right evidence
for the right scope.
Insurance requirements depend on the work, vessel, location and contract. Ask for the relevant documentation before attendance.
Confirm the evidence
Review the named insured, insurer, policy period, applicable coverage, limits and any required endorsements for the work.
Read the agreement
Confirm responsibilities, scope changes, acceptance, reporting, payment and any limitations in the written service terms.
UNDERSTAND THE DOCUMENTS
Evidence matters.
Details matter more.
Specific policy limits, insurers and coverage are confirmed in the applicable documents. They are not represented by this website.
Certificate of insurance
A certificate provides evidence of insurance. It does not amend a policy or create coverage beyond that policy’s terms.
Additional insured requirements
Being named as a certificate holder is different from additional insured status. Where required, the policy and applicable endorsement must support that status.
Marine work and territory
Confirm that the proposed activity and location fit the policy. Marine liability, completed operations and other relevant coverage are reviewed for the particular assignment.
IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG
Protect people.
Preserve the record.
Follow the vessel’s emergency procedures first. When safe, record the time, location, job reference, factual observations and parties involved. Preserve relevant photographs and documents.
Notify the appropriate people promptly.
Use the agreed PELASTRION contact and the notification procedure in the relevant policy or contract. A website conversation does not notify an insurer or lodge a claim. Avoid entering sensitive claim or medical documents into a general inquiry.
