Prepare Marine Equipment Risks for Insurer Review
How Marine Equipment Owners Can Prepare for Insurer Review
Marine equipment - whether subsea, dockside, onboard or in transit - carries unique risks. Insurers assess a wide range of factors such as storage, handling, operational use, maintenance records, security measures and historical claims.
Clear risk information can help a broker present the risk for insurer review. Premium, cover and terms depend on the individual risk, disclosure, underwriting and policy wording.
