US Pollution California – Changes in Certificates of Financial Responsibility [COFRs] Requirements (5.444)

This circular explains recent amendments to California’s rules for certificates of financial responsibility (COFRs), including a new requirement affecting vessels entering California marine waters during the 30 day post renewal period from 20 February.

London P&I advises members with vessels calling at California ports around this date to renew P&I cover well in advance so the new Certificate of Entry can be issued in time for compliance.
