INSURANCE GUARANTY FURNISHED AS EVIDENCE OF FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY UNDER THE OIL
POLLUTION ACT OF 1990 AND THE COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE, COMPENSATION, AND
LIABILITY ACT, AS AMENDED
The undersigned insurer or insurers (“Insurer”) hereby certifies that for purposes of complying with the financial
responsibility provisions of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (“OPA 90”) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended (“CERCLA”), (referred tocollectively as the “Acts”), the vessel owners and
operators (“Assured” or “Assureds”) of each respective vessel named in the schedules below (“covered vessel”) are
insured by it against liability for costs and damages to which the Assureds may be subject under either section 1002 of
OPA 90, as limited by section 1004(a), or section 107(a)(1) of CERCLA, as limited by sections 107(c)(1)(A) and (B), or
both, in an amount equal to the total applicable amount determined in accordance with the Applicable Amount Tables
referenced at 33 CFR 138.80(f), respecting each covered vessel.
The amount and scope of insurance coverage hereby provided by the Insurer is not conditioned or dependent in any way
upon any contract, agreement, or understanding between an Assured and the Insurer. Coverage hereunder is for
purposes of evidencing financial responsibility under each of the Acts, separately, at the levels in effect at the time of the
incident(s), release(s), or threatened release(s) giving rise to claims.
,

(Address)
is designated as the Insurer’s agent in the United States for service of process for purposes of this guaranty and for
receipt of notices of designation and presentations of claims under the Acts. If the designated agent cannot be served
due to death, disability, or unavailability, the Director, Coast Guard National Pollution Funds Center (“Center”), is the
agent for these purposes.
The Insurer consents to be sued directly with respect to any claim, including any claim by right of subrogation, for costs
and damages arising under section 1002 of OPA 90, as limited by section 1004(a), or section 107(a)(1) of CERCLA, as
limited by sections 107(c)(1)(A) and (B), or both, against any Assured. However, in any direct action under OPA 90, the
Insurer’s liability per vessel per incident shall not exceed the amount determined under part I of the Applicable Amount
Table referenced at 33 CFR 138.80(f)(1) and, in any direct action under CERCLA, the Insurer’s liability per vessel per
release or threatened release shall not exceed the amount determined under part II of the Applicable Amount Table
referenced at 33 CFR 138.80(f)(2). The Insurer’s obligation hereunder with respect to any one incident or release or
threatened release shall be reduced by all payments or succession of payments for costs and damages, to one or more
claimants, made by or on behalf of the Assured under OPA 90 or CERCLA or both, as applicable, for which the Assured
is liable. The Insurer hereby agrees that the Insurer shall be entitled to invoke, in any direct action, only the rights and
defenses set forth in 33 CFR 138.80(d).
No more than four Insurers (including lead underwriters) may execute this guaranty. If more than one Insurer executes this
guaranty, each Insurer binds itself jointly and severally for the purpose of allowing joint action or actions against any or all
of the Insurers, and for all other purposes each Insurer is bound for the payment of sums only in accordance with the
percentage of participation set forth opposite the name of the Insurer below. If no percentage of participation is indicated
for an Insurer or Insurers, the liability of such Insurer or Insurers shall be joint and several for the total of the unspecified
portions.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it
displays a valid OMB control number.
The Coast Guard estimates that the average burden for completing this form is 30 minutes. You may submit any
comments concerning the accuracy of this burden estimate or any suggestion for reducing the burden to the:
Commandant (NPFC), U.S. Coast Guard, 2100 2nd Street, SW, Washington, DC 20593-0001 or Office of Management

Purpose: The Coast Guard will use this information as evidence that the owners and operators, including demise charterers, of certain
vessels have established and are maintaining evidence of financial responsibility (i.e., ability to pay) sufficient to meet the maximum
amount of liability to which they could be subjected under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (33 U.S.C. 2702(a); 33 U.S.C. 2704) (OPA'90),
and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (42 U.S.C. 9607) (CERCLA), in
the event of a discharge, or substantial threat of discharge, of oil or a release, or threatened release, of hazardous substances, into the
navigable waters, adjoining shorelines or the exclusive economic zone of the United States.
Routine Uses: This information will be used by and disclosed to Coast Guard personnel and contractors or other agents who need the
information to assist in activities related to the OPA'90 and CERCLA evidence of financial responsibility requirements, including
personnel responsible for the storage and ultimate disposal of the information. Additionally, the Coast Guard may share the information
with facility operators, law enforcement or other government agencies as necessary to respond to actual or threatened discharges of oil or
releases of hazardous substances, or pursuant to its published Privacy Act system of records notice.
Disclosure: Furnishing this information (including your SSN) is voluntary; however, if the requested information is not furnished, the
Coast Guard will be unable to certify compliance by vessel owners and operators, including demise charterers, with the applicable

clearance and other sanctions as specified OPA'90, 33 U.S.C. 2716(b) and 42 U.S.C. 9608(a).
