Our approach to insurance buying allows us to offer considered and competitive insurance solutions, along with dedicated support for any claims that occur. We have a global network which enables us to deliver local expertise at country level and market knowledge in the local language.
While we understand price is important, our main priority is providing you with the assurance that your insurance cover will protect you in the event of a claim. We will work with you to provide a policy that is tailored to your needs and be there every step of the way to guide you through the process.
Products we offer include Hull & Machinery, Increased Value and Loss of Hire. These products can be tailored to your needs, no matter the size of the fleet. These insurances protect the owners’ commercial interest on the vessel. It includes cover for Total loss, Partial losses, and collision liabilities. Further to this, extensions to cover can include Loss of Hire which covers the loss of income following physical damage to the vessel. This allows for owners to protect cash flow in the event of a casualty.
We work with Owners, Managers and Charterers to assist them in placing and managing their Protection and Indemnity, Charterers Liability and Legal Costs insurances, along with other covers associated with liabilities related to the operation of vessels.

Piracy, including armed robberies, kidnap for ransom and hijackings, poses a pervasive challenge for the maritime industry. It can cause immediate impacts and long-term trauma for crew members and their families, as well as major disruption to your business operations.
The Gulf of Guinea continues to account for a significant percentage of all marine kidnappings reported globally, with risk areas spanning East and West Africa. The Indian Ocean also represents considerable risk to crews and transits, within exposed shipping channels.
