Abstract

These Regulations, made by the Minister responsible for Maritime Administration, in exercise of the power conferred by section 122 of the Merchant Shipping Act 2002, provide for the requirement of compulsory insurance for seagoing ships of 300 gross tonnes or more. A Bermuda ship shall not enter or leave a port in Bermuda or elsewhere, unless the ship owner has insurance in respect of that ship. A ship which is not a Bermuda ship shall not enter or leave a port in Bermuda unless the ship owner has insurance in respect of that ship. A ship may be detained if anyone attempts to navigate it out of a port in contravention with the insurance requirement.
