2.16.5.1 INSURANCE COVER

Damage to FFO involves contact between the vessel or the vessel’s gear and the damaged object – which excludes another vessel. Liability may be covered either by the Hull and Machinery insurer or the P&I insurer. The standard insurance terms may be amended and the vessel’s insurance certificates will state who covers the vessel for damage to FFO.
