Berth, season and winter storage
The boat comes ashore for the winter. Frost is the most expensive damage of the year here: a cooling circuit left full cracks the engine block. Insurers treat that as a breach of a duty of care rather than as an accident, whoever the insurer is. Read what your own conditions require of you before the boat is lifted out. At anchor the responsibility lies with the skipper, not the harbour master. A boat left unattended at anchor in a freshening wind that then drags is the case where the duty of care is disputed most often. Stay on board, keep an anchor watch and know the holding ground, and you are on firm footing. The nearest berth, Tanker Reede, is 2.0 kilometres away.
How exposed the berth lies
Each spoke shows how far the water is open in that direction, up to sixty kilometres. The highlighted spoke is the direction the sea runs in furthest from. Calculated from the coastline, not measured.
The nearest slipway is 5.0 kilometres to the south-east. Whether a fee applies is not recorded in the map data. 31 slipways are recorded within thirty kilometres.
The nearest berths: Tanker Reede, 2.0 kilometres to the north-west, Expl Reede / P Reede, 3.1 kilometres to the north-west and Alte Ems Reede, 4.8 kilometres to the north-west. 13 other berths are recorded within 25 kilometres.
What this berth means for your policy
The Netherlands have no general insurance requirement, but marinas require liability cover through the berth contract. Anyone going beyond the IJsselmeer onto the North Sea needs a cruising range that includes the coast. Storm is the smaller risk here. What causes damage is the manoeuvre in a tight basin and the neighbour who is not paying attention: hull scrapes while berthing, marks along the quay wall, a damaged rudder blade. By the coastline the berth has no cover to the north-west: in that direction there is no land within sixty kilometres. It is also open to the south-east and the west. In a gale from the north-west the sea runs in over the full distance, and the berth is then the most dangerous place for the boat.
Questions and answers
What owners ask about this berth
Which cruising range do I need for Anchorage Dukegat-Reede, Warffum?
In the calculator this berth belongs to the cruising range Niederlande. The cruising range is the boundary within which a policy applies. Check the wording before you go beyond it: many policies name a narrower area than owners assume, and an extension has to be agreed before the passage, not after the claim.
Is my boat insured in winter storage?
Hull cover normally applies ashore as well, including storm damage on the cradle and theft from the yard, but two things decide the case. A policy written for a season usually pauses over the winter months and then carries nothing at all, and frost damage to a cooling circuit that was not drained counts as a breach of a duty of care rather than as an accident.
Does the harbour ask for proof of insurance?
There is no legal requirement, but the berth contract almost always demands liability cover in so many words. The paper that belongs on board is the International Certificate of Insurance for pleasure craft: it states the cover in a form that is understood across the bordering states.
