Learn MoreThe risks of climate change are imminent and pose a significant threat. As such, stringent regulations are already in force and more are expected. This underscores the maritime industry's need to help combat climate change. 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 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 payout, the indemnity is provided as voluntary carbon credits, purchased by ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµfrom ClimateSeed, equivalent to the excess emissions emitted.
ClimateSeed follows a strict three-level project selection process that is unique in the market. Every project is sourced and qualified by their team of carbon project specialists and goes through a rigorous process, based on their climate impact as well as potential social and environmental benefits.
