MARINE SURVEYS & CONSULTANCY

Hull and machinery insurance

Hull and machinery insurance covers the vessel’s hull, machinery and equipment against damage from the risks listed below.

We arrange this cover with insurers as an intermediary (broker). The insurance company issues the policy.

Risks covered

  • Collisions
  • Grounding
  • Fire
  • Explosions
  • Piracy
  • Earthquakes
  • Moving cargoes
  • Total loss
  • Average
  • Sue and labour
  • Salvage
  • Loss of hire
  • War risks

Total loss can be added at the owner’s request; in most cases it is issued as an extension of the hull and machinery policy.

The policy can also include sue fees to resolve specific legal issues related to the damage.

What it does not cover

Hull and machinery insurance does not cover damage to other parties’ property from a collision or pollution. That is covered by protection and indemnity (P&I) insurance.
