1 Information Notice Regarding the insurance certificates Required under the IMO Conventions The purpose of this information notice is to detail the process of delivery of the insurance certificates required under the 1992 International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage and the 2001 International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage. I- Perspectives regarding vessels insurance certificates France will become a party to the IMO Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage (referred to hereafter as Bunker Convention ) on January 19 th, As of that date, the insurance certificates required under this convention will have to be issued by the French Maritime Authorities for all vessels flying French flag. In mainland France, the delivery of these insurance certificates under the Bunker Convention has been delegated to the Direction Interrégionale des Affaires Maritimes (DIRM Inter-regional Division of Maritime Affaires), or, for vessels registered under the French International Registry to the R.I.F. s Guichet Unique (single window). The delivery of insurance certificates under the CLC convention has also been delegated to the DIRM or to the Guichet Unique for RIF vessels, to start as of As for French Overseas Territories, the delivery of the CLC and Bunker certificates will be made by the local Maritime Divisions and Maritime Affairs Bureaus. As of 2012, the delivery of the Bunker insurance certificates will be delegated to Classification Societies. The delivery of certificates covering passenger carriage (Athens Convention) and wreck removal (Nairobi Convention) will also be delegated once these conventions will have been enforced. The French Maritime Authorities will keep charge of the delivery of Certificates covering the CLC and HNS conventions only. The delivery of certificates to a vessel registered in a country which is not a party to the Conventions will be made possible. The delivery of such certificates is a faculty, and will take place depending on the availability of the concerned Department/Division. This faculty will however be refused to vessels flying flags from countries appearing on the Paris MoU s black list. II Obligation to have an insurance certificate The subscribing of an insurance cover under the CLC and Bunker conventions is rendered compulsory based on the following field of application: 1/6
2 Types of vessels concerned Application threshold of the insurance / financial security obligation 1992 International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage Art 1 : «any sea-going vessel and seaborne craft of any type whatsoever constructed or adapted for the carriage of oil in bulk as cargo». Art 7 : The owner of a ship registered in a Contracting State and carrying more than 2,000 tons of oil in bulk as cargo shall be required to have insurance or other financial security, such as the guarantee of a bank or a certificate delivered by an international compensation fund, to cover his liability for pollution damage 2001 International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage Art 1 : «any seagoing vessel and seaborne craft of any type whatsoever». Art 7 : The registered owner of a ship having a gross tonnage greater than 1000 registered in a State Party shall be required to have insurance or other financial security, such as the guarantee of a bank or similar financial institution, to cover the liability of the registered owner for pollution damage Remarks: The IMO Guidelines have specified the following points Oil carriers bearing a CLC certificate will also have to bear a Certificate for the Bunker convention Certificates intended under the Bunker convention must also be delivered for barges, floating pontoons and other non-motorized floating devices/objects, as long as they are registered as commercial vessels since they then fall within the scope of the definition of vessels concerned under the said Bunker Convention and can potentially carry oil products for operations other than propulsion.
