        Wreck Removal

        On 14th of April 2014 the Nairobi Convention on the Removal of Wreck of 2007 achieved the requisite number of ratifications (10) triggering the entry into force on
        14th April 2015. The Convention provides a strict liability, compensation and compulsory insurance regime for States affected by a maritime casuality. It makes the registered owner of a ship liable for locating, marking and removing a wreck deemed to be a hazard in State's Convention area. Registered owners of ships of 300
        gross tonnage and over registered in a State party or entering or leaving a port in the territory of a state party, will need insurance cover arrangements which meet
        the requirements of the Convention and a certificate from a State party attesting that such insurance is in force. Such certificate must be carried on board at all times. The Wreck removal Convention closely follows the strict liability and insurance provisions which currently apply to oil tankers under Civil Liability Convention
        ( CLC) and ships of 1,000 gross tonnage and over under the Bunker Convention. Our Clubs and Insurers issue the necessary Blue Cards.

        Kidnap & Ransom (K&R)
        We can arrange cover to shipowners against the financial loss that can arise when their crew and/or vessel is seized or detained for ransom. This insurance covers various costs that may not be covered under other type of insurances when a vessel is hijacked and/or the crew is kidnapped. It also provides access to Kidnap & Ransom experts who will assist to manage and resolve the incidents.




        Loss of Hire (LOH)


        Loss of Hire insurance protects the shipowner from a daily loss of income arising from damage to the vessel which can be recoverable from the hull and machinery cover. Every shipowner is exposed to a complex trading environment. Sometimes, one or several parameters that affect an owner's trade contribute to a disruption in the vessel's trade. One consequence of the vessel not being able to trade is that there is no hire coming in. In times of tight margins and when cash flow is vital to owners, an unexpected shortfall of hire could prove devastating.


        P and I War


        This insurance essentially provides cover for physical loss and damage caused by war risks, but also includes detention or diversion expenses, as well as cover for third party liabilities usually excluded by P&I.


        Deviation
        .

        This type of Deviation Liability Cover is intended to provide the Assured with protection from the cargo interests in respect of cargo accepted for carriage by the Assured as a result of a deviation or departure from the contractually agreed voyage as specified in the Insurance Policy.

        Onshore Incidents

        Covers the daily costs of a vessel during delays caused by onshore incidents for the duration of such incidents and also during delays sustained after the main incidents referred to have ended.Most commonly, claims under this Cover arise when there is congestion in the port immediately after the termination of the direct effects of an onshore incident.

        Onboard Incidents

        Covers the daily costs of a vessel during delays resulting from on board incidents such as officer or crew strikes, and a wide variety of other incidents including collision/grounding, drugs on board, piracy, kidnap, ransom, stowaways, machinery damage etc. usually leading to a vessel going off-hire.


        Ship owners’ General Liability

        Ship Builders’ Risk
