We hereby enclose a form for the 1st quarter declarations to be completed and returned to us not later than 20 July 2012.

As from 20 February 1998, all tanker Owners, including Owners of OBO and OO vessels, have to make quarterly declarations in respect of cargoes carried and voyages performed during the specified quarter in order not to jeopardise their P&I cover.

The reason for this increased reporting procedure is to ensure that all Members of the Association are charged an accurate premium for the quarter. Tankers carrying Non-persistent oil and OBOs and OOs carrying dry cargoes during the entire quarter, will enjoy a lower reinsurance cost which will be credi-ted to the Members. Owners of tankers (including OBOs and OOs) trading to the USA and US EEZ have to declare voyages in order to pay the correct surcharge.

Completion and return of the enclosed declaration form is only required for owners of tankers, OBOs and OOs.

US Voyage Declarations, has now been introduced in SCOL – Swedish Club OnLine. This is a new way to send the US Declaration Voyage form to us, instead of sending a manually entered form.

The upload of the US Declaration Form is made in the Form page. Select the appropriate period and the appropriate vessel. This will open up a registration form where the US Voyage Declaration can be filled in. When the form has been filled in, it can be sent (“Send Form”) to The Swedish Club. It is also possible to save the form as a draft (“Save as draft”). This will enable you to continue the filling of the form at a later stage.

In the Form page the process of the uploaded forms can also be followed:

• Created – Send form or Save as draft
• Finished – Send form
• Confirmed – The Swedish Club has received the form and taken appropriate action
