Remember To Renew Your CLC, Bunker, Athens And WRC Certificates: DMA

Time has come to apply for renewal of CLC, Bunker, Athens and Wreck Removal Convention Certificates from the Danish Maritime Authority. Shipowners must renew the certificates once a year upon expiry of the underlying insurance.

Foreign ships with a GT of 1,000 or more also need a Bunker Certificate if they intend to call at a Danish port, a Danish place of loading or unloading or the Danish continental shelf area, or if they are operating permanently in Danish territorial waters.

Athens Certificates
Athens Certificates concern insurance to cover passenger and luggage liability related to accidents occurring during commercial carriage of passengers by sea. Danish passenger ships in international trade and Danish passenger ships of classes A and B in national trade must acquire the certificate.

Foreign passenger ships also need Athens Certificates if they intend to call at a Danish port, place of loading or unloading or continental shelf area. That also goes for foreign class A and B passenger ships in national trade in Danish territorial waters.

Wreck Removal Certificates (WRC Certificates)
WRC Certificates concern insurance to cover liability for the location, marking and removal of wrecks. Danish ships with a GT of 300 or more need a certificate.

Foreign ships with a GT of 300 or more also need a certificate if they intend to call at or depart from a Danish port or an offshore installation in Danish territorial waters.
