Commercial Hull Insurance cover

Rather than offer a standard, one-size fits all policy, we’ll create a bespoke product to suit your particular vessel and commercial operation, using various international and Vero-specific clauses:

Cover generally includes:

  • Loss or damage to the hull, machinery and equipment while afloat and ashore, as a result of specified perils
  • Collision liabilities

Additional extensions may be available for:

  • Legal liability for:
    • Loss of life or bodily injury to other people
    • Removal of wreck
    • Damage to other property such as wharves, buoys or cables
  • Diversion expenses to land sick or injured crew or passengers
  • Additional perils (machinery damage)
  • Fines or penalties for any inadvertent breaches of statute other than those specifically excluded
