Protection and Indemnity cover is third party legal liability insurance for vessel owners, operators and charterers. Targeting larger yachts, special pleasure crafts, tugs, barges, passenger carrying and fishing vessels.
These legal and contractual liabilities are various in nature and could involve cargo, pollution, people as well as other types of liabilities. We currently write the following classes with limits up to 500 million and 1 billion USD.
Protection & Indemnity Liability
Designed to insure both the contractual and legal liabilities that your client may face as the owner of a vessel. Examples include collision, fines, pollution, general average, wreck removal, death or personal injury.
Charterers’ Liability Insurance
Designed to insure both the contractual and legal liabilities that your client may face as the charterer of a vessel. Examples include loss or damage to cargo, damage to hull, quarantine costs, collision, fines, pollution, general average, wreck removal, death or personal injury.
Additional coverages we also offer are:
Shipowner’s Liability to Cargo
Covers shortage of, non-delivery of or damage to cargo.
Cargo Owners Legal Liability
While Charterers’ Liability provides cover for liabilities in your client’s capacity as a Charterer, this insurance covers legal liabilities to third parties in your capacity as “owner of the cargo” carried.

Hull and Machinery
Coverage for physical loss or damage to vessels of all sizes and types including small harbor-craft, charter vessels, fishing vessels, tug & barges, and ferries. May include increased value, loss of hire, third party collision liability, builder’s risk and war.
