RE: "BARGE" INSURANCE
PROPERTY & LIABILITY
The Barge Policy has been delivered to the Clerk Treasurer's Office.
On re-cap of this coverage; the carrier of the "barge" before City of Jeffersonville ownership ~vas notified
to insure it for The City.
This is specialty insurance not offered by many carriers. Other carriers contacted quoted up to
$20,000.00 per year for similar coverage.
The Producer, Curt Royce, of Aeordia in Louisville, secured this coverage. Premium payment has been
made directly to A¢ordia. Curt Royce collected all commission. The policy was delivered to Clark
general Insurance as a courtesy, since I ddt with Mr. Royce on be-half of The City of Jeffersonvilte.
The $1,000,000.00 liability insurance is of concern. Due to the nature of this vessel (Barge) and the
uncertainty of use and knowledge of bargefooating operations, it is the highest limit available at this time.
If the barge is ever permanently established as a community center (or whatever) we may then proceed
with Umbrella coverage. Arch Insurance, the carrier for City of Jeffersonville property & liability will
not insure this watercraft. Watercraft liability is excuded under all General Liability policies and must be
specially endorsed and in most cases, a separate watercraft liability policy issued. As long as it is able to
float away, it is watercraft and Marine Insurance is necessary.
Enclosed is a copy of the Marine Schedule with premiums.
Please call if you have any questions.

NOTICE OF TERRORISM
INSURANCE COVERAGE
You should be aware that under the Terrorism Risk insurance Act of 2002 ("The Act") effective November 26,
2002, any losses caused by certified acts of terrorism under your existing coverage may be partially reimbursed
by the United States under a formula established by federal law (applicability is subject to the terms and
conditions of each individual policy). The Act was specifically designed to address the ability of businesses and
individuals to obtain property and casualty insurance for terrorism and to protect consumers by addressing market
disruptions and ensure the continued availability of terrorism coverage.
Under the terms of The Act, you may now have the right to purchase insurance coverage for losses arising out of
acts of terrorism, as defined in Section 102(1) of the Act: The term "act of terrorism" means any act that is certified
by the Secretary of the Treasury, in concurrence with the Secretary of State, and the Attorney General of the
United States--to be an act of terrorism; to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to human life, property; or
infrastructure; to have resulted in damage within the United States, or outside the United States in the case of an
air carrier or vessel or the premises of a United States mission; and to have been committed by an individual or
individuals acting on behalf of any foreign person or foreign interest, as part of an effort to coerce the civilian
population of the United States or to influence the policy or affect the conduct of the United States Government by
coercion.
Responsibility for Compensation under The Act is shared between insurance companies covered by The Act and
the United States. Under the formula set forth in The Act, the United States pays 90% of covered terrorism losses
exceeding the statutorily established deductible, which is paid by the insurance company providing the coverage.
We are providing you with the terrorism coverage required by The Act. We have not established a separate price
for this coverage; however the portion of your annual premium that is reasonably attributable to such coverage is:

January 18, 1970
A. This insurance is also to cover the liability of the assured for Protection and Indemnity Risks excluded from Marine
Protection and Indemnity Policies commonly issued by stock insurance companies in the United States by the

"Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this policy, no liability attaches to the company,
directly or indirectly, for or in respect of any loss, damage or expense sustained by reason of any taking
of the vessel by requisition or otherwise, civil war, revolution, rebellion, or insurrection, or civil strife arising
therefrom, capture, seizure, arrest, restraint or detainment, or the consequences thereof or of any attempt
thereat; or sustained in consequence of military, naval or air action by force of arms, including mines and
torpedoes or other missiles or engines of war, whether of enemy or friendly origin; or sustained in
consequence of placing the vessel in jeopardy as an act or measure of war taken in the actual process of
a military engagement, including embarking or disembarking troops or material of war in the immediate
zone of such engagement; and any such loss, damage and expense shall be excluded from this policy
without regard to whether the Assured's liability therefor is based o negligence or otherwise, and whether

of the same casualty shall be limited to the Amount Insured Hereunder.
Claims for which the Underwriters shall be liable under these clauses shall not be subject to any deduction.

the Hull War Risks and Strikes Clauses and upon the terms and conditions contained in the Automatic Termination
and Cancellation provisions of said Clauses.

natural expiry time or automatic termination of this policy, this insurance shall continue to cover the liability of the

When the contributory value of the Vessel is greater than the Agreed Value herein, the
liability of the Underwriters for General Average contribution (except in respect to
amounts made good to the Vessel), or Salvage, shall not exceed that proportion of the
total contribution due from the Vessel which the amount insured hereunder bears to the
contributory value, and if, because of damage for which the Underwriters are liable as
Particular Average, the value of the Vessel has been reduced for the purpose of
contribution, the amount of such Particular Average damage recoverable under this Policy
shall first be deducted from the amount insured hereunder, and the Underwriters shall
then be liable only for the proportion which such net amount bears to the contributory
value. ~
TOTAL LOSS
In ascertaining whether the Vessel is a constrictive Total Loss the Agreed Value shall be
taken as the repaired value and nothing in respect of the damaged or break-up value of
the Vessel or wreck shall be taken into account.
There shall be no recovery for a constrictive Total Loss hereunder unless the expense of
recovering and repairing the Vessel would exceed the Agreed Value. In making this
determination, only expenses incurred or to be incurred by reason of a single accident or
a sequence of damages arising from the same accident shall be taken into account, but
expenses incurred prior to tender of abandonment shall not be considered if such are to
be claimed separately under the Sue and Labor clause
In the event of Total Loss (actual or constructive), no claim to be made by the
Underwriters for freight, whether notice of abandonment has been given or not.
In no case shall the Underwriters be liable for unrepaired damage in addition to a
subsequent Total Loss sustained during the period covered by this Policy.
SUEANDLABOR
And in case of any Loss or Misfortune, it shall be lawful and necessary for the Assured,
their Factors, Servants and Assigns, to sue, labor and travel for, in, and about the
defense, safeguard and recovery of the Vessel, or any part thereof, without prejudice to
this insurance, to the charges whereof the Underwriters will contribute their proportion as
provided below. And it is expressly declared and agreed that no acts of the Underwriters
or Assured in recovering, saving or preserving the Vessel shall be considered as a waiver
or acceptance of abandonment.
In the event of expenditure under the Sue and Labor clause, the Underwriters shall pay
the proportion of such expenses that the amount insured hereunder bears to the Agreed
Value, or that the amount insured hereunder (less loss and/or damage payable under this
Policy) bears to the actual value of the salved property, whichever proportion shall be
12 Aon Risk Services
PASSENGER VESSEL ASSOCIATION
Insurance Program as of 4/1/200'1 (Revised '10/01/2003)
less; provided always that their liability for such expenses shall not exceed their
proportionate part of the Agreed Value.
If claim for Total Loss is admitted under this Policy and sue and labor expenses have
been reasonably incurred in excess of any proceeds realized or value recovered, the
amount payable under this Policy will be the proportion of such excess that the amount
insured hereunder (without deduction for loss or damage) bears to the Agreed Value or to
the sound value of the Vessel at the time of the accident, whichever value was greater;
provided always that Underwriters' liability for such expenses shall not exceed their
proportionate part of the Agreed Value. The foregoing shall also apply to expenses
reasonably incurred in salving or attempting t salve the Vessel and other property to the
extent that such expenses shall be regarded as having been incurred in respect of the
Vessel.
PILOTAGE AND TOWAGE
This insurance shafl not be prejudiced by reason of any contract limiting in whole or in
part the liability of pilots, tugs, towboats or their owners when the Assured or the agent of
the Assured accepts such contract in accordance with established local practice.
Where in accordance with such practice, pilotage or towage services are provided under
contracts requiring the Assured or the agent of the Assured:
(a)
(b)
to assume liability for damage resulting from collision of the Vessel insured with
any other ship or vessel, including the towing vessel, or
to indemnity those providing the pilotage or towage services against loss or
liability for any such damages,
it is agreed that amounts paid by the Assured or Surety pursuant to such assumed
obligations shall be deemed payments "by way of damages to any other person or
persons" and to have been paid "in consequence of the Vessel being at fault"within the
meaning of the Collision Liability clause in this Policy to the extent that such payments
would have been covered if the Vessel had been legally responsible in the absence of
any agreement. Provided always that in no event shall the aggregate amount of liability
of the Underwriters under the Collision Liability clause, including this clause, be greater
than the amount of any statutory limitation of liability to which owners are entitled or would
be entitled if liability under any contractual obligation referred to in this clause were
included among the liabilities subject to such statutory limitations.
CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP
In the event of any change, voluntary or otherwise, in the ownership or flag of the Vessel,
or if the Vessel be placed under new management, or be chartered on a bareboat basis
or requisitioned on that basis, or if the Classification Society of the Vessel or her class

ownership, flag, management, charter, requisition o? classification; provided, however.
that:
(a) if the Vessel has cargo on board and has already sailed from her loading port, or is
at sea in ballast, such automatic termination shall, if requiredl be deferred until
arrival at final port of discharge if with cargo, or at port of destination if in ballast;
(b) in the event of an involuntary temporary transfer by requisition or otherwise,
without the prior execution of a written agreement by the Assured, such automatic
termination shall occur fifteen days after such transfer.
This insurance shall not inure to the benefit of any transferee or charterer of the Vessel,
and, if a loss payable hereunder should occur between the time of change or transfer and
any deferred automatic termination, the Underwriters shall be subrogated to all of the
rights of the Assured against the transferee or charterer in respect of all or part of such
loss as is recoverable from the transferee or charterer, and in the proportion which the
amount insured hereunder bears to the Agreed Value.
The term "new management" as used above refers only to the transfer of the
management of the Vessel from one firm or corporation to another, and it shall not apply
to any internal changes within the offices of the Assured.
ADDITIONAL INSURANCES
It is a condition of this Policy that no additional insurance against the risk of Total Loss of
the Vessel shall be effected to operate during the currency of this Policy by or for account
of the Assured, Owners, Managers, Operators or Mortgagees except on the interest and

insurance shall be subject to P.P.I., F.I.A. or other like term on any interests whatever

and (as per schedule) hereinafter called the Mortgagee, is hereby admitted, and the
interest of the Mortgagee shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of the
mortgagor, owner, master, agent, or crew of the vessel(s) insured by this coverage, or by
any failure to comply with any warranty or conditions over which the Mortgagee has no
control or over the which the Mortgagee has control but has not exercised such control, or
by any change in title, ownership or management of such vessel; the interest of the
Mortgagee, being that interest more particularly set forth in the mortgage on such vessel
in favor of the Mortgagee and the note attached thereto or referred to therein, said
mortgage and note being assignable to the Assureds upon demand provided full payment
of the interest, as herein set forth, of the Mortgagee has first been paid.

protection.

causes (a) total or constructive total loss; (b) other loss or damage to the vessel, and the
Underwriters of the Hull Policy have denied the claim for any liability, loss, damage, or
expense which is subject to a claim hereunder, and the Assured has instituted suit
against such Underwriters to collect such claim, and the cause of the nonpayment is not
the bankruptcy or ceasing of payment of the hull underwriters.
It is hereby noted and agreed Underwriters agreed to waive rights of subrogation against
owners and/or innocent mortgagees and/or guarantor.
