What types of coverage may be filed to establish proof of financial responsibility for casualty?
Cruise lines file acceptable guaranties or insurance. The guarantor must be acceptable to the Commission, i.e., a protection and indemnity association with sufficient assets in the U.S. The insurance company must have an acceptable financial rating. The guaranty form is available by clicking on the Forms link at the Bureau of Certification and Licensing home page. Please contact the Office of Passenger Vessels and Information Processing to ensure the coverage to be provided is acceptable.
