These Regulations make insurance, or another form of financial security, compulsory for any ship in respect of which a trans-shipment licence issued under section 4A of the Sea Fish (Conservation) Act 1967 is in force. These trans-shipment licences are issued to all ships involved in trans-shipment operations in respect of pelagic fish in United Kingdom waters, whether the ship is used to process fish or to store and refrigerate it. The insurance or security must cover the following liabilities: (a) any liability under section 154 of the Act; (b) any liability for the costs of any operation to remove or render harmless the ship, or any article which had been on the ship, taken under the powers conferred by sections 252 or 253 of the Act or under corresponding powers under any statutory provision of local application; (c) any liability for payment of salvage awards under Article 12 or 13, and special compensation under Article 14, of the International Convention on Salvage 1989[3]; and (d) any liability for the cost of providing relief to, and of repatriating, seamen left behind or shipwrecked.
