Strike & Delay

Unexpected delays, both in port and at sea, can severely dent your earnings or wipe out all profits from a voyage. However, many delays caused by geopolitical events, the impact of climate change or technological failures may not be protected by P&I cover.

Our unique, complementary Strike & Delay cover enables you to protect yourself against the financial impact of 30 shipboard and onshore risks, and delays of up to 20 days. We can also tailor cover to suit the individual needs of your contract.
