Owner of missing boat urged to seek insurance
Staff writer, with CNA
The Fisheries Agency yesterday said it has asked the owner of a Taiwanese fishing boat to file an insurance claim for the families of nine Indonesian crew members who, along with their Taiwanese captain, went missing in the Pacific Ocean late last year.
Each of the missing fishermen should receive a payout of NT$1 million (US$35,303) on the life insurance policies their employer took out on their behalf, the agency said.
Fishing boat owners are required to insure their crew members before they can start work.
The agency has offered the missing captain’s family NT$50,000 and NT$1.5 million in relief assistance.
