Energy - Marine Liability

Underwriting Appetite

Catlin is a market leader in Marine Liability. Marine Liability was one of the first lines of business written by Catlin, and today the account encompasses a variety of Marine Liability risks.

Areas of expertise include:

Protection and Indemnity – P&I is a key component of the account. Catlin leads the International Group of P&I Clubs reinsurance programme which covers 90% of the world’s ocean-going tonnage. Catlin also insures P&I risks which fall outside of the International Group reinsurance programme. Such risks may include vessels which are not entered with a P&I club or specialised ‘non-poolable’ P&I risks which are not covered under P&I insurance.
Ports and Terminals – Catlin insure ports and terminals throughout the world and offer coverage for liabilities and property damage.
Charterers – this specialised area of marine insurance is often written as an excess of loss reinsurance for P&I clubs, but can also be offered directly to charterers.
Ship repairers – Catlin insures several ship repair facilities.
Niche lines of marine liability business are also written and include pollution, marine PI, cargo liabilities and maritime employers liability.

Coverage

Given the international nature of the shipping industry Catlin insures vessels, ports and ship repair yards throughout the world. Risks are written on both a primary and an excess of loss basis. Catlin uses its knowledge and experience within this class of business to provide tailored coverage for a range of international clients.
