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 the pontoon what counts is what the conditions call a duty of care: lines of adequate strength, chafe protection, a working bilge pump and a boat that is not left unchecked for months. A crane or slipway is recorded on site, so the boat does not have to be moved elsewhere to come out. That matters beyond convenience: lifting, slipping and road transport are a separate kind of loss, and not every policy includes them. Shore power is available, and with it the most common cause of fire at a pontoon: a charger and a battery left working unattended over the winter. Fire is covered in any tariff; a fire traced to a demonstrably improper installation is not. The nearest berth, Przystań kajakowa Brodowe Łąki, is 58.1 kilometres away. Tie up here and in a freshening wind there is no harbour within easy reach, and that is the situation the expensive cases come from.
The nearest slipway is 15.8 kilometres to the west. Whether a fee applies is not recorded in the map data.

What this berth means for your policy
Poland does not require liability cover for private recreational use. It does apply to charter boats and commercially used craft, and harbours increasingly ask for proof through the berth contract. 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.
Questions and answers
What owners ask about this berth
Which cruising range do I need for Port Łomża?
In the calculator this berth belongs to the cruising range Masuren & Polen. 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?
Not for private use; yes for charter and commercial use. 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.
