Members will be aware that the Government of Turkey issued a notice dated 16.11.2022 which requires oil tankers transiting or entering Turkish waters from 01 December 2022 (extended to 02 December 2022), to provide letters of confirmation from the owner’s P&I Club attesting that cover will remain in place under any circumstances throughout the duration of the transit or the time the ship is in Turkish waters or the time it is in a Turkish port or terminal.
The International Group has assessed this issue in detail, and, at the time of writing, the Clubs have agreed that they cannot and should not issue such a letter.

土耳其当局要求出具P&I保险有效确认函
土耳其当局于2022年11月16日发布了一份通知，要求从2022年12月1日起（已延长至2022年12月2日）过境或进入土耳其水域的油轮，需提供船东保赔协会的确认函，证明船舶在整个过境期间，或者在土耳其水域、港口以及码头期间的任何情况下，P&I保险都有效。
国际保陪集团详细评估了这一问题，在撰写本报告时，IG协会认为不能也不应该签发此类确认函。
