Did you know? Your marine carrier, buyer or supplier is only obliged to provide minimal coverage without consideration of your needs – and your goods may still be at risk!

In most instances, the limited liability amounts they offer will not cover the value of the shipment. It is vital to take out your own insurance cover to guarantee adequate protection.

We can help you maximise your cover against potential damage, loss, or disruption – so you never become a statistic. Our cargo insurance services include carrier’s liability, freight forwarder’s liability and haulier’s GIT policy.

Note: Hijacking and theft of Personal Protective Equipment is on the rise. Since March 2020 in excess of R68 million has been stolen / hijacked. Insurers now rank the movement of Personal Protective Equipment as high risk - which could result in armed guard escort requirements for these types transits.

Congratulations to Rory Barton (17) from Kokstad, the lucky prize-winner of our Skippers Training & VHF Radio course worth R12 600… which has been running on social media since January.

Already a keen rock and surf angler, Rory has dreamed of getting his skippers license, so he can work on yachts overseas once he matriculates – and before he settles down to study agriculture.

We all wish you luck with your training from Dawson’s Skipper Training in KwaZulu-Natal and look forward to seeing you out on the water.

SAMSA-accredited Skippers examiner (Categories R - E - C and B) Lyn Adams says:

If you’re operating a boat on an interim skippers or radio license, which has expired due to Lockdown delays - you can request a renewal from your examiner.

Temporary licenses are only valid for six months from date of issue.

Umhlanga Skiboat Club has just had their first-ever virtually monitored deepsea fishing Interclub. It’s the same tournament, same rules, just without the social gathering (IGFA rules -10kg line).

30 Anglers from Durban, Ballito, St Lucia, Warnadoone and Johannesburg took part - on jetskis (only two-man teams) and boats (only three-man teams).

According to organiser Byron Kane, fish were measured with a specially printed measuring tape sent out to each angler, pictures were sent via WhatsApp and the sizes were computerised to generate weights.

Winners: Umhlanga Skiboat Club Blue took top honours with three species (771,3 points), followed by Durban Skiboat Club Blue team with two species (661,97 points) and in third place - Rod ‘n Reel Black team caught three species (540,51 points).

Club Marine sponsored new CMI neck buffs and caps for the anglers.
