US$500 million each accident or occurrence in respect of each ship entered by or on behalf of an Owner not being a charterer other than a charterer by demise or bareboat charterer

or

USS 100 million each accident or occurrence in respect of each ship entered by or on behalf of a charterer (other than a charterer by demise or bareboat charterer) or by more than one such charterer as Joint Owners, subject to an aggregate limit in accordance with proviso (c) to Rule 5(B) (iii) of US$300 million.

The terms of Rule (5)(B) (iii) govern the application of these limits.

Excess oil pollution cover

The $200 million oil pollution cover excess of the Association's cover limit of $500 million is available for 1995. This cover is not provided by the Association itself but is placed directly with market underwriters on behalf of those Members who require it.

Members wishing to avail themselves of the cover should contact either their brokers or the Managers' London agents for details.
