  • If you think the loss was caused by an illegal act (e.g. burglary or deliberate damage) please notify the police as soon as possible
  • If anyone travelling on your craft is injured, please notify the Maritime Safety Authority
  • Do what you can to take care of your craft and to prevent any further loss or liability
  • Please provide us with as much information as possible so we can process your claim smoothly.
