3.12.1.1 INSURANCE COVER

The cover provided by P&I insurers is involved when pollution occurs. The Company, P&I insurer or their correspondents must therefore be contacted immediately.

If the pollution is caused by the escape of oil from the other vessel following a collision, the cover provided by the Hull and Machinery insurers – other than on UK standard insurance conditions – may be involved – please see also section 1.8 Difference between P&I insurance and Hull and Machinery insurance. If this is the case, the Hull and Machinery insurers or their correspondents must also be contacted.
