Statute overview

About this statute

The text makes certain maritime rules apply to the Faroe Islands and requires insurance for covered small speedboats/watercraft, while imposing fault-free liability for injuries and loss of support caused in a maritime accident. The user or controller of a vessel must insure it; the master must carry proof during navigation, and the vessel may not be used without a valid certificate or proof. A ship insurance policy for ships of 300 gross tonnage or more must meet approval conditions, including limits on when it can end and direct claim rights against the insurer. The Danish Maritime Authority must issue certificates on request in certain cases, may set detailed rules for the certificates, may delegate issuance, and Danish ships of 300 gross tonnage or more may not sail without the relevant certificate. A Danish ship with a gross tonnage of at least 20 but less than 300 must not sail unless insurance has been arranged in accordance with the provision.
