of the contract:
-
.1 public and employers liability insurance cover
to an appropriate level and as required by the shipowner; and
-
.2 personal accident, medical expenses, hospitalization
and repatriation insurance.

damage arising from the use of firearms and liability for any claim

of PCASP may have on the shipowner's property and liability insurance
cover.
