32.This new section requires the Secretary of State to issue a wreck removal insurance certificate for a United Kingdom ship on application by the registered owner if he or she is satisfied that the insurance in place will cover the liability under the Wrecks Convention. However, if the Secretary of State is not satisfied that this is the case then he or she can refuse to issue a certificate. The Registrar General of Shipping and Seamen will be sent a copy of the certificate.
