Increased Inventory Availability LEGAL As a longtime PVA member and current license insurer of hundreds of deck and engineering officers serving aboard vessels operated by PVA member companies, at MOPS we have witnessed firsthand the perils and penalties associated with late or non- reporting of marine casualties to the U.S. Coast Guard. From regular route ferry operators to dinner/entertainment and sightseeing vessel owners and officers, the consequences for late or non-reporting accidents and incidents can and will become a costly and frequently image-tarnishing event. Whether they have individual policies or policies subsidized by their employer, MOPS license insurance policyholders have the advantage of immediate, 24/7 access to legal representation and consultation by an experienced local maritime attorney who will help him or her navigate the sometimes confusing reporting responsibilities in the wake of an incident. You can count on the Coast Guard doing its job (especially if it gets a late start!), so it’s more important than ever to consider the license insurance option when reviewing your license holder’s employee benefits package.
