War Risks

Our war risks insurance products are designed to protect ships against loss or malicious damage caused by a third party, where such loss and damage are not normally covered by Hull and Machinery policies.

They cover damage or loss caused by:

• war, civil war, revolution, rebellion, insurrection, or any hostile act
• capture, seizure, arrest, restraint or detainment
• derelict weapons of war (mines, torpedoes, bombs)
• strikers, locked-out workmen, riots or civil commotions
• any terrorist or any person acting maliciously or from a political motive
• confiscation or expropriation
• violent theft by persons from outside the vessel
• piracy
• misconduct of masters, officers or crew
• EU Passenger Liability Regulation (PLR War)
• discretionary claims
