The situation is further complicated in that the level of crew protection varies according to the nationality of the crew member. For example, for US crew members the compensation awarded in the United States (Jones Act) can be considerably higher than that normally awarded in Europe.

It is therefore important not only to consider your legal liability to paid crew but also ensure you have the correct level of insurance in place.

We strongly recommend that you insure your legal liabilities to paid crew. If you are in any doubt as to whether or not your individual crewing arrangements necessitate Employers’ Liability insurance being in place, you should seek advice from a qualified employment lawyer.

Pantaenius Yacht Owners Liability to Crew

Pantaenius is able to arrange Yacht Owners Liability to Crew through Steamship Mutual Underwriting Association Limited, a major international P&I Club. The policy wording includes cover for liabilities arising under the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 (as amended) to the extent that the Maritime Labour Convention (as amended) is statutorily applicable.

If a crew member is killed or permanently disabled and the yacht owner is deemed legally liable as the employer (occupational injury or illness) then this is insured under the Yacht Owners Liability to Crew policy.  It would provide insurance cover for any necessary medical costs, repatriation, burial, compensation or wages following such a liability but not for screening or preventative treatment which would normally be included in a good quality medical insurance. 

It also includes your liabilities to day workers and death and disability compensation in respect of crew whilst they are travelling as passengers to and from the vessel and their home.
