OIL POLLUTION IN THE UNITED STATES

TANKER VOYAGE ADDITIONAL PREMIUM SYSTEM - 2006 POLICY YEAR

The additional premium system for tankers carrying persistent oil to or from the United States will continue for the 2006 policy year. The new rates (set out below) represent a decrease of just over five per cent on the 2005 rates.

In 2004, the Pool retention was increased from US$30 million to US$50 million. As before, a proportion of the US tanker voyage additional premiums will be allocated to this additional layer.

The full text of the US Oil Pollution Clause 20/2/2006 will be set out in an Appendix to the Rules and will be incorporated, by reference, in the Certificates of Entry. As before, a lower rate per ton will apply to tankers equipped with segregated ballast tanks (SBT) in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 13 of Annex 1 to MARPOL 73/78.
