Taiwan Marine Pollution Control Act and Compulsory Insurance (5.35)

London P&I explains Taiwan's Marine Pollution Control Act and the compulsory insurance or guarantee requirements that take effect from 1 July 2005.

The circular sets out the Act's scope, the liability position for shipowners, the vessels covered, and the insurance amounts required. It also notes discussions with the Taiwan authorities on whether Certificates of Entry issued by International Group clubs will be accepted as evidence of insurance.
