Active Classes of Business

Shipping

Hull and MachineryPhysical loss or damage cover for all types of vessels. The scope, basis and extensions of cover provided are adapted to suit individual clients’ requirements.

Disbursements (Increased Value) or Freight Interest InsuranceAn amount insured in excess of the vessel’s sum insured, which is calculated to cover additional costs and expenses (including lost freight earnings) associated with the total loss of a ship.

Protection and Indemnity (P&I)Third party liability cover for all types of vessels. Arranged with International Group clubs, independent clubs or commercial underwriters. Designed to “dovetail” with a vessel’s hull and machinery insurance.

Freight, Demmurage and Defence (FD&D)Also referred to simply as “defence”. In most instances an optional adjunct to P&I coverage. This insures the shipowner from legal costs associated with either the defence or pursuit of a claim relating to the insured vessel. For example, the legal fees resulting from a charterparty dispute.

Builders RisksPhysical loss or damage cover for a shipbuilder during a vessel’s construction period. Customarily tailored and extended to include faulty design risks during a warranty period and in accordance with specific shipbuilding contracts.

Builders Risks – Consequential LossCover to protect a ship owner from a delay in a vessel’s delivery as a result of a casualty during construction. Typically arranged in the event of a vessel being built to meet contractual delivery deadlines or to comply with a contract of affreightment.

Charterers LiabilityInsurance to protect charterers of vessels from a range of liabilities, either though contract or in tort. This can include liabilities resulting from damage to the vessel itself, or from third parties directly or by way of indemnity.

Charterers Cover for General Average (GA)/ Salvage CostsDesigned to give charterers greater control during a salvage or GA event and suitable for any charterer who wishes to protect a contract to provide services for mainline operators, shippers or forwarders. This cover allows a charterer to step in for cargo interests and provide security on their behalf, as well as settling the claimed GA and salvage costs.

Charterers Piracy Trade DisruptionCovers payments that charterers are liable for in the event of a vessel being captured. Available on a single breach and annual basis, this insurance allows charterers to declare vessels for the specific period, whilst transiting or calling at ports in high risk areas.

Crew Personal Accident (PA) CoverPersonnel accident cover designed specifically for a ship’s officers and crew. Often arranged in circumstances where the vessel is not entered with a P&I Club, or arranged under contract by owners or managers for the benefit of crew and their dependents.

Hull and Machinery – War and Strikes RiskCover against war, strikes, riots, civil commotions etc. Generally, but not always, arranged separately to a vessel’s hull and machinery insurance and extended to include war protection and indemnity risks. Trading to “excluded areas” (as defined within the London market’s list of excluded areas) is customarily subject to specific agreement.


9

Loss of HireInsurance designed to protect a shipowner for potential loss of earnings of a vessel (either freight or charter hire) resulting from a casualty. Cover is usually stipulated to respond in the event of a peril insured under the vessel’s hull and machinery policy.

Marine Kidnap and RansomEnsures that if a vessel is captured and a ransom demanded, the shipowner is able to respond quickly and with the support of experienced crisis-handling professionals to ensure the safety of the crew and expedient release of the vessel. It covers the ransom paid, the loss in transit of the ransom, the fees and expenses of security experts, plus certain additional expenses and legal liability.

Mortgagees InterestCover to protect the financial interest of mortgagees in the event of a loss which is unrecoverable from the vessel’s hull and machinery insurance. For example, a claim for total loss repudiated by hull underwriters due to it occurring outside the policy’s trading area (warranty).

Vessel Trade DisruptionAn extended form of loss of hire cover which protects a shipowner from loss of revenue caused by a broad range of geo-political exposures. Particularly suited, though not exclusively, to ferries and cruise vessel owners.

Yachts and Pleasure CraftHull and machinery, and third party liability cover for yachts and pleasure craft valued over uSD1 million, including chartered.

Designated Persons Ashore Personal Professional IndemnityIn an accident where pollution, damages or injury occur, the Designated Person can be held personally responsible. This insurance covers a Designated Person’s liability from professional negligence, the “contingent liability” of a claim that would normally be covered by their employer’s P&I policy and legal expenses to defend a claim.
