Indeed they are. The RBAW information is very vague vs the information about the actual increase of liability coverage (and the reasoning behind the change)...

Interesting how this is popping up again…the last time it did, the underwriter at Red Shield Insurance took it upon himself to call all the marinas in Southern BC and their take was: BC insurance carriers do not have the required standalone Oil Pollution Act coverage as US policies do...

Not quite muerto yet, y'all! As Dave mentioned, I've been extremely over the last 2 years, and I want to apologize for not being of better service to the forum. The madness of COVID and the resultant fluctutions in my area of the marine industry have largely subsided, and life is (somewhat)...

Nice work!

Thanks for the ideas- I’ll get on it and report back.

The patient- a KiloPak 12kW genset powered by an Isuzu 3LD1 3 cylinder diesel engine. 450 hours run time. All was working well on our last summer outing, with zero indications of trouble. In December, I strung up the Christmas lights and then went to start the genset to test everything- but it...

In what discipline were you a claims professional? In the marine world I play in, the All Risk/Agreed Value policy has few exclusions and plenty of wording on inclusionary coverage.

Ron Thompson at Currents Marine surveys, Cale Mathers ar Mathers Marine surveys come to mind. Lynne Reister at Lodestar Marine is another excellent recommendation- just make sure you impress upon her that you need your survey report is a very timely manner.

I went with a Headhunter Mach 5 pump about 5 years ago- excellent pressure and silent.

Questions: Who is your carrier? Why were parts ordered prior to any contact with your insurer? If your policy is Agreed Value coverage, your settlement will be the value shown on your declarations page. If Actual Cash Value, you’ll negotiate the value at time of loss. The best option is to...

I’ll assume you have a US flagged/registered vessel. The challenge I’m having in boating coverage for the OP is the vessel will remain BC registered (per the buyer). I recommended he contact a marine escrow company in Anacortes to discuss the ramifications.

Thank you for the kind words! I spoke to David today- there are some challenges to overcome (the primary one being the requirement for the vessel to US flagged and registered). We're working thru it...
