(From the International Group of P&I Clubs)

Thank you for your email below reporting on the GAS FALCON, IMO No 9040883 which has been identified as having been entered with West of England. I have contacted the Club and they inform me that GAS FALCON is not entered with West of England P&I and was not entered with West of England P&I during the period of the abandonment. I would be grateful if you could update the records and remove West of England as the P&I insurer.
