Dutch term or phrase: BA NA LEVERING (2e rang)

"Deze polis dekt de burgerlijke aansprakelijkheid uitbating en na levering in tweede rang. De polis komt pas tussen na uitputting van de bestaande eerste rang."

This is from a Belgian text regarding a third party liability insurance policy. Could someone who has some expertise in the field of insurance, please explain what is meant by this phrase? What are "eerste rang" and "tweede rang" policies?

after delivery (on a subsidiary basis)

Explanation:
This is a contingent liability cover that only comes into operation after the cover of the primary policy has been exhausted. In other words, the other policy meets all claims up to its limit and only then does this one begin to pay.

"Civil liability" is rarely used. "Third party liability" is OK, but "public liability" is the normal term.

"Subsidiary" is better, although this would often be referred to as a "contingent" liability cover.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks for the explanation Neil, its been very helpful! Just one small question about the 'BA' bit...would it be more correct to translate it as 'civil liability' or as 'third party liability' or are they both equally correct? Thanks again!

Asker: I'll go for 'public liability' then. Last question on this...would it be also ok to use 'secondary' = 'tweede rang' or is 'subsidiary' the more generally accepted term?
