Certificate of entry relating to vessels specified unlimited in the first schedule. Entered for insurance in the association in accordance with the particulars set out in the first schedule and upon the terms and conditions of the rules of the protection and indemnity class of the association for the time being in force, except to the extent that those terms set out in the second schedule.

Simply can't make out what these two sentenses means.

Since they are not complete sentences, the context would be helpful to know if these are either definitions of a procedure or a log of events

It means that if you signed it they can do whatever they want to you... But seriously... I've never seen worse english. One thing is clear; this was not written as an attempt at honest communication....

They represent a futile attempt at "legalese," that redundant sort of English in use by attorneys and insurance companies.

An entry is an inclusion of any formal writing- here certified- on a topic; and, in this quote, the (certified) entry concerns any vessels in reference to the two schedules, first and second. For obvious reasons, it is entered "...for insurance."

It may be an addendum.
