Coverage description
A National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) standard form. It rewrites Part Two employers liability for injuries to masters and crew members of vessels: it sets territorial limits, excludes injuries covered by a protection and indemnity policy, and reaches maintenance and cure only when a premium is shown.
