¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµoffers marine hull, war and construction coverage for special exposures as well as standard risks.
Learn MoreWith stringent regulations coming into force, the need to combat climate change is at the forefront of the maritime industry. At ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ we understand that to reduce carbon emissions and contribute to global carbon neutrality, you need a viable approach to measure emissions, define reduction plans in line with science-based targets (SBTi), and contribute to carbon removal and avoidance projects. That’s why we’ve launched our Excess Emissions ÓÈÎïÊÓÆµpolicy.
What is Excess Emissions ÓÈÎïÊÓÆµand how does it work?
Excess Emissions ÓÈÎïÊÓÆµcovers your vessel’s carbon emissions in the event of a fortuity (covered by our ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµUK & Lloyd’s Marine Hull policy). It functions by contributing to premium carbon removal and avoidance projects for the additional emissions impact caused by course deviations such as port of refuge, port of repairs, picking up spares or other reasonable reasons (subject to a valid hull policy claim).
Unlike traditional insurance, where you’d be offered a cash pay-out, the indemnity is provided as voluntary carbon credits equivalent to the excess emissions emitted.
Benefits
- Accountability for additional emissions
- Reassurance of meeting net-zero commitments from unforeseen circumstances
- Support certified projects with high environmental and social impacts
To be eligible for our Excess Emissions ÓÈÎïÊÓÆµpolicy, you must:
- Hold an existing ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµUK & Lloyd’s Marine Hull policy
- Be in the process of decarbonizing
- Have a proven SBTi-aligned reduction strategy
Product is best suited for clients with vessels over 5,000 GT.
