3rd Party Insurers

[MASH]

I'm having insurance troubles. I need 3rd party cover on the dockside for a couple of months in Turkey as the boat is being worked on and no survey can be done on it in that state and a survey is a precondition of cover. This would not seem an unusual situation but it has taken the new insurers by surprise - they "dont do" 3rd party, and I'm struggling to find a broler that does.

Any leads?

3rd party insurance.

Try Pantaenius Insurance in Plymouth UK. They also work from Germany and the EU and cover liability insurance in USA too. Good luck.

Would be useful to know which broker it is that's got the 3rd party cover problem.

Should be no problem changing your cover from in commission to laid up ashore. However, the saving is minimal and many companies will not reduce the price for a short period. I have just done it for one of my boats - came down from £170 to £150 a year. Best just to notify your insurer of your changed circumstances.

I'll second Chatelaine on Pantaenius, I've very recently insured "third party" my boat that is based in Leros/SE Aegean...no problems encountered.

Thanks! Pantenaeus came up trumps.
