International Navigating Limits (INL) refer to limits that restrict where normal ships may sail without informing whom?

• A. The insurer
• B. The crew
• C. The flag state
• D. The customs office

Answer: (A)

INL are navigational boundaries that, when crossed, change the risk profile of the voyage. Because insurance coverage rests on the risks disclosed to the underwriter, any voyage into or beyond these limits must be reported to the insurer so they can adjust terms, endorsements, or premiums if needed. This keeps the policy valid and ensures the insurer knows the exact risk being assumed. The crew, flag state, or customs office handle operational or regulatory duties, not the shifting risk basis of the insurance contract. So the insurer is the one that must be informed.
