Intro
Protection and indemnity insurance (also known as P&I insurance) is used worldwide, specifically in the marine industry. It is a policy that ship owners purchase to protect themselves against liability claims from crew, passengers and third parties. Having P&I insurance is necessary to ensure that your company remains stable, in the event of unexpected incidents that disrupt the operations of your business.
What does P&I protect you against?
P&I insurance protects you from claims you commonly see if you work in the world of marine, such as:
- Collisions
- Property damage
- Pollution
- Environmental damage
- Removal of wrecks
- Injury or illness
- Loss of life
How to avoid risks
Working aboard a ship often exposes seafarers to a variety of accidents and incidents as mentioned above. There are a range of different risk assessments that you should keep on top of to ensure that everything is in order. These include:
- Passenger vessels risk assessment
- Mooring operations risk assessment
- Fishing operations risk assessment
- Containers operations risk assessment
- Bunker operation assessment
- Oil tanker operations risk assessment
