Circular issued by International Group clubs Alaska Maritime Prevention and Response Network Members are referred to circular published on 2 January 2014 and in particular the vessel response planning requirements for Western Alaska, which at present require shipowners to enrol with the Alaska Maritime Prevention and Response Network (AMPRN). In that circular the attention of members was drawn to the fact that the terms of the enrolment agreement do not conform with International Group Guidelines on Vessel Response Plans. We have been informed that a further change will be made to the enrolment agreement to make specific reference to Alaska Chadux in tick box 3. The enrolment agreement can be viewed by following the link  http://www.ak-mprn.org/  and clicking on enrolment. However, concerns remain about tick box 3 which, even if amended to refer to Alaska Chadux, still continues to refer to unidentified resources. The box currently reads as follows: " I/we affirm that our Qualified Individual is duly authorized to execute and enter into a response action contract for oil spill response resources, as set forth in the APC NTV, on behalf of Planholder in the event requested to do so by Planholder or designated Federal On Scene Coordinator. " The Alternative Planning Criteria for non-tank vessels (APC NTV), currently only refers to one resource - "Alaska Chadux". However, AMPRN has stated its intention to add other resources which are as yet unidentified and for which the owner's QI is required to enter into a contract as described in the tick box above  without any prior opportunity for the owner to review the contracts of those other resources . It is therefore impossible to ascertain the risk of the contractual terms falling outside the scope of club cover. There seems little likelihood that the AMPRN will clarify the position prior to 30 January 2014, the deadline for submission of non tank vessel response plans. Members therefore have no option
