Insurance and Claims Service Overview
At Maryam Shipmanagement DMCC, our Insurance and Claims service is designed to provide comprehensive risk management solutions tailored to the maritime industry. We understand that shipping operations involve significant risks, including damage to vessels, cargo losses, and liabilities that can arise from accidents at sea. Our services ensure that our clients are protected against these risks, and that any claims are handled efficiently and effectively.
1. Comprehensive Insurance Coverage
– Hull and Machinery Insurance (H&M): We arrange Hull and Machinery insurance to protect your vessels against physical damage. This coverage includes damage from collisions, grounding, fires, and other perils. Our team ensures that your vessels are insured for their full market value, minimizing financial exposure.
– Protection and Indemnity (P&I) Insurance: P&I insurance covers third-party liabilities, including crew injuries, pollution, and cargo damage. We work with top-tier P&I clubs to provide you with the best coverage, ensuring that all liabilities are adequately addressed.
– Cargo Insurance: For shipowners and operators involved in cargo transportation, we offer cargo insurance that covers the loss or damage of goods during transit. This coverage ensures that you and your clients are protected against financial losses due to damaged or lost cargo.
– War Risk Insurance: Given the volatile nature of certain shipping routes, we also provide war risk insurance, which covers risks associated with war, piracy, and other hostile acts. This coverage is crucial for vessels operating in high-risk areas.
– Loss of Hire Insurance: This policy compensates for the loss of income if a vessel is unable to operate due to an insured event, such as damage requiring repairs. It provides financial stability during periods of downtime.
2. Risk Assessment and Mitigation

– Loss Prevention Strategies: Our team collaborates with you to implement proactive measures that reduce the likelihood of incidents, such as crew training programs, enhanced safety protocols, and regular maintenance schedules. These strategies help in minimizing claims and reducing insurance premiums over time.
