[PSUBS-MAILIST] Submersible Insurance



Hi Jon,

Your correct, but I would like to add that some commercial jobs require the company and sub to be insured with at least liability insurance, if I remember correctly.  To get the liability insurance I heard the insurance companies in the US and perhaps other place require them to have ABS or the like certification on the subs to be used.

Looks like Vance answered it.  However, PVHO first arrived on the scene in 1977 and Delta was built in 1984. 
 
Frank, a non-certified sub can work for profit, it just can't take passengers.  I've not seen any law or regulation stopping you from doing work commercially in your own sub.  It won't hurt to confirm with them the certification status, and maybe a short history of how/when they got a waiver if you don't mind asking.

Hi Jon. I didn't see it either, but isn't it against the law to operate a sub for profit without it? ( at least in the US ) We can build what ever we want, but taking paying customers down requires insurance. I don't think Karl Stanley's sub is ABS but maybe that's why he operates where he does. The Delta group has a pretty impressive list of customers, and I don't think they'd be willing to risk it.   I'll ask them how they do it. Frank D.
