Insurance(Statements for discussion)
Owners have no contract with the STS Service Provider
STS Service Providers indemnify themselves against claims
Owners undertake no due diligence of STS Service Provider
The role of POAC is unclear but some duties are equivalent to or above that of the master in respect to
the operation.
Owners take on the liability for STS and rarely claim against charterer for damage
The POAC should be insured under the vessel P&I (charterers would have to pay)
P&I clubs should maintain list of audited STS companies (owners would have access)
STS contractor to be oil major audited (similar to vessels)
Service Provider Self Assessment managed by OCIMF (Similar to TMSA)
