Hi Colquon G not knowing what dept you served in it is difficult to assist; however here is a starting point.

The Merchant Navy Officers Pension Fund Leatherhead House
Station Road
Leatherhead Surrey KT22 7ET.

or try The Pension Fund Newcastle upon Tyne 0844 600 2537

Regards and good luck Neil "Mort" Morton.

If you were due a pension from NZSC then the insurance company that administers the fund wwould get in touch with you. If they did not have your address they would do it through Newcastle as all pension payments are made from there. They have your current address (newcastle that is) and would write to you telling you that ABCDE Insurance Company is trying to contact you and give you the contact details of that company. As a matter of interest insuraance companys do not like to have unpaid policys or pensions on their books as it is unproductive in their day to day running. They prefer to pay out and get rid of the policy/pension. Hope all this helps.
