THE INSURANCE COMPANY
The insurance company creates insurance products and drafts the general conditions of contracts
In the marine environment, claims can range from a few thousand to several million (€, $ ,£)
It is therefore very important in view of the sums involved to thoroughly check out the financial reliability of the company, because it will be paying the founds in the event of a claim.
FORMS OF INSURANCE
Conditions of insurance may be of international standards (R12, IYC, Etc.) defining the basic standard of guarantees with the addition of special conditions specific to the insurance company.
It is also possible that the insurer has its own clauses negotiated directly with the insurance company.
Therefore, within the same insurance company, there are several yacht insurance contracts which may be proposed by marine insurance brokers.
BROKERS
Broker, Agent have agreements to sell the products of one or several insurance companies.
They are paid differently depending on the insurance company, the type of insurance and the business volume generated among the companies.
The broker drafts his offer according to the characteristics of the vessel defined by:
– The brand
– The Market Value
– Its use (private / charter)
– The Flag
– The size
– The areas of navigation
– The history
– Etc.
The modification of one of its vectors modifies risk assessment by the insurer and the insurance company. It is therefore important to compare all types of insurance offered by different brokers and underwriters to optimise the guarantees and premiums.

P&I
Protection and indemnity insurance, more commonly known as “P&I” insurance, is a form of mutual maritime insurance provided by a P&I Club. Whereas a marine insurance company provides “hull and machinery” cover for shipowners a P&I Club provides cover for open-ended risks that traditional insurers are reluctant to insure.
P&I Insurance is mandatory on “Commercial Yacht” to comply with International and Flags regulations.
Typical P&I cover includes: a carrier’s third-party risks for damage caused to cargo during carriage; war risks; risks of environmental damage such as oil spills and pollution; crew welfare; water sport coverage…
