When a vessel is temporarily out of service due to an insured peril, the financial implications can be significant. Loss of Hire (LoH) Insurance is designed to protect shipowners and operators against the loss of anticipated earnings during such disruptions – whether caused by collisions, machinery breakdown, or grounding.
We work with you to develop a tailored LoH policy aligned with your vessel operations, charter agreements, and risk profile. Our team understands the commercial urgency of getting back to sea – and the importance of keeping your income protected while you do.
The critical importance of loss of hire insurance in shipping operations
The shipping sector, with its reliance on the seamless operation of vessels, underscores the importance of having a robust loss of hire insurance. This insurance is integral to marine insurances, ensuring that businesses are not financially crippled when their vessels are temporarily unusable. In conjunction with other key policies such as Protection and Indemnity (P&I) insurance, loss of hire insurance provides a comprehensive safety net. It covers the income lost during repair periods, enabling businesses to continue meeting their financial obligations without interruption. For shipping companies, the right loss of hire insurance is not just about risk mitigation; it’s about business continuity and resilience.
