VESSEL CHARTERS
If you anticipate chartering
a vessel for University related work you need to be aware of:
1) You should contact
UCSC Purchasing and Risk Services as soon as possible to begin the due dilegence
process for UCSC insurance requirements. Typically, a charter consisting of
1-10 passengers requires $5 million in liability coverage, more passengers will
require greater coverage amounts.
2) You should contact
the Diving and Boating Safety Office for help in vetting vessels as to their
meeting Federal and State vessel regulations.
3) Principal Investigators
need to read the UCSC Scientific Boating Manual and understand their specific responsibilities
as to chartering a vessel under their auspices.
4) Please use Charter
Vessel Check List to assist you with the inspection of the vessel prior
to leaving the dock.
If you have questions
regarding this please contact Steve Clabuesch at 831-459-4286 or <srclabue@ucsc.edu>.
