If I have to drop my nets (fish catch) to proceed to a search and rescue (SAR) case, will I be reimbursed for my loss under the CCGA insurance coverage?
This type of insurance is not generally available. Normally, there is no coverage for loss of fishnets, gear or fish catch under Hull & Machinery insurance. Loss of fish catch is not insured under the CCGA insurance program. Coverage for fishnets and gear is excluded under the CCGA insurance policy unless an insured value was declared for them at the beginning of the policy period and then only in the event of a total loss of the nets and gear following a declared total loss of the vessel.
