Hull Insurance

Hull insurance is an insurance policy especially designed for covering ship damage expenses. Where the ‘Hull’ refers to the main body of the ship. Hull insurance can be understood like a car insurance, with a difference of being for a water faring vehicle instead of land.

Hull insurance also includes any fixtures attached to the hull of the ship as a functional part, into the definition of hull. Since the policy mostly applies to water going vessels, it is more popularly called Marine Hull Insurance, and is a part of marine insurance.

It covers all types of vessels operating into the oceans, lakes, or rivers like bulk carriers, fishing boats, ships, tankers, cruises, yachts, jetties, and wharfs.

The policy plays an important role by helping boat owners to secure their vehicles against machinery damage and destruction of hull, fittings, liabilities, etc.

Mainly the policy insures against the following perils:

Destruction of hull
Damage to machinery
Disbursement losses
Ship-breaking losses
Fittings and freight

The insurance policies can also include third party liability such as cover for losses or damages caused by your vessels to other ships or boats, or injury to the ship workers.
