Insurance for Shipbuilding Risks
This insurance protects against losses or damages that the ship may incur during the construction phase, up to final delivery. It covers common risks such as fire, explosion, sinking, or collision during construction, as well as technical defects affecting the hull or equipment.
Insurance value is based on the contract price or estimated construction cost and continues to cover the vessel until the official delivery to the owner. This coverage is especially important for shipbuilders and marine sector investors to ensure project continuity and reduce potential losses. -
Insurance of Marine Cargo
This type of insurance protects the transported goods from various risks that may occur during shipment, whether at the local or international level.
It covers fundamental elements such as the stability of supply chains and the protection of commercial interests.
