Requirement to carry 4 (1) The person referred to in subsection 3(1) must ensure that proof of insurance, signed by the insurer or its authorized representative, is carried on board the ship as proof that the insurer has issued a liability insurance policy to the person for the liability insurance coverage required by section 3. Form of proof of insurance (2) The proof of insurance referred to in subsection (1) may be in paper or electronic form and must be (a) if the ship is covered by a protection and indemnity club that is a member of the International Group of Protection and Indemnity Associations, the certificate of entry issued by the club in respect of the ship; or (b) in any other case, a certificate of insurance in the form set out in the schedule. Fleets (3) If the liability insurance policy provides coverage in respect of a fleet of ships to which paragraph (2)(b) applies, the person referred to in subsection 3(1) must ensure that a certificate of insurance in the form set out in the schedule is carried on board one ship and a copy of it is carried on board every other ship in the fleet. Exceptions (4) Despite subsection (1), a person is not required to carry proof of insurance on board a ship if (a) it is not feasible to do so because the ship does not have any space where the proof of insurance can be protected from the elements; or (b) in the case of proof of insurance kept on an electronic device, it is not possible to display the certificate due to technical reasons. Production within 24 hours (5) If a designated officer boards the ship under subsection 128(1) of the Act and the proof of insurance is not carried on board the ship due to a reason set out in subsection (4), the person referred to in subsection 3(1) must produce the proof of insurance to the designated officer within 24 hours after the designated officer boarded the ship. Fleets — amount of insurance (6) In the case of a liability insurance policy that provides coverage in respect of a fleet of ships to which paragraph (2)(b) applies, the certificate of insurance must (a) state (i) the amount of insurance applicable to each ship in the fleet, or (ii) the amount of insurance applicable to the ship in the fleet with the highest passenger capacity and the number of ships in the fleet to which that amount applies; and (b) state that the policy provides the same coverage as the coverage that would be provided if a separate policy had been issued in respect of each ship listed on the certificate. Exceptions to form of certificate (7) In the case of a liability insurance policy that provides coverage in respect of a fleet of ships to which paragraph (2)(b) applies, (a) if a ship is exempted under the regulations made under the Canada Shipping Act, 2001 from the registration requirement set out in subsection 46(1) of that Act, the name of the ship and its official number are not required to be set out on the certificate of insurance; and (b) if proof of insurance is in paper form and the fleet has more ships than can be listed on the front of the certificate of insurance, the information regarding the ships that cannot be listed on the front of the certificate must be set out on the back.
