Are you covered against all potential risks?

Shipping is a capital-intensive, technical complex and high-risk sector. A sector in which you want to avoid disruption, especially when the risk is preventable. Any risk that could jeopardise a business must be appropriately placed with an insurer so that the financial risk resulting from an incident is adequately transmitted from the client to the insurer. Equally, FDR can inventory your risks and coverage if you would like to obtain a third-party review to ensure that your ‘risk transfers’ are managed appropriately.

Protection & Indemnity

Protection & Indemnity (P&I) insurance provides coverage concerning maritime liabilities.

Therefore, an intensive risk analysis is necessary to assess collision and manning risks while providing appropriate cover for all contractual liabilities.

War Risk Protection

Political volatility can pose a significant threat to your business. The war risk protection cover helps safeguard your business against unforeseen political events and the consequential economic implications they could pose for your business.

War risk protection is typically excluded in standard coverages and is usually supplemented with a War Risks policy. However, turmoil worldwide can lead to certain areas being excluded, so on top of the standard War Risks policy, an additional cover must be sought to cover the period when a ship is in an excluded area.

Each policy may have different conditions so an expert analysis can be very beneficial. Contact us today.

Charterers liability

Charterers are exposed to significant risks caused by third parties due to contractual obligations in Charter Parties or Bills of Lading. Sometimes these risks are significant enough to threaten the financial position of even the best-established companies. Therefore, careful risk analysis is necessary for reliable and correct coverage.
