SHIPBUILDING &
MANUFACTURER
PROPERTY INSURANCE PROGRAM
Our roots at
Insurexchange lay in the design of
specialty marine property insurance programs for shipbuilders of yachts
and commercial vessels, boat manufacturers and manufacturers of
structural components. While our expertise allows us to design a
sophisticated insurance program for the most complex of risks; our niche
programs are designed to provide substantial underwriting credits for
generally accepted risk management practices and procedures.
Super - Mega - Giga Yachts &
Commercial Vessels up to 100 metres:
Shipwrights and the vessels
they build are protected within the standard program parameters up to
$150 Million per occurrence for builders risk perils and $100 Million
per occurrence for plant and equipment. Coverage is written
on a replacement and agreed amount basis. This program is
eligible for dividends based on favorable experience and a
multi-year policy. Excess limits are available for insurable
exposures greater than $150 Million.
Vessel builders of
high-speed water taxis, patrol boats, ferries, pilot boats, cutters,
tugs and other commercial craft are covered.
Builders risk insurance
provides coverage against loss of or damage to the vessel during the
course of construction from the laying of the keel and sea trials to
delivery of the finished vessel. Coverage can be extended to include the
entire building process as the vessel comes together including cover for
engines, equipment and other components which are awaiting installation.
We recognize that many vessels are built in stages on and off yard
premises and that contingency coverage may be necessary to ensure
protection of the owner from an outside loss due to a value added
vendors' failure to deliver components critical to the final completion.
