Due to a significant increase in the number of worldwide piracy incidents, more and more ship owners and operators are seeking specific insurance protection against these attacks. There is a lack of clarity in the maritime insurance market as to the extent of cover in place in the event of piracy which is of concern to those with exposure to this peril.
Special Contingency Risks Ltd (SCR) and Maritime & Underwater Security Consultants (MUSC) have teamed up to offer ship owners a groundbreaking policy which protects their assets, and, if the worst happens, helps to recover them.
Vessel Shield is a unique world leading policy which offers owners an integrated solution providing expert advice and assistance BEFORE, DURING and AFTER a piracy event. |
