The loss can be the result of damage to the vessel, recoverable from the underlying hull and machinery cover.
Loss of hire insurance is broader than its name suggests, it encompasses hire in the traditional sense, loss of freight and any other form of income that is lost as a direct consequence of loss of time. Its principal role as a risk management tool is to protect cash flow, and it is often demanded by banks to ensure owners will be able to meet loan repayments in the event of an incident that deprives the vessel of income.
Loss of income caused by events
such as
• Damage to the vessel recoverable from
the underlying hull & machinery cover.
• Stranding of the vessel.
• Physical obstruction preventing the
vessel from leaving port (excluding ice).
• Salvage or removal of damaged cargo.
• Events giving rise to an allowance in
General Average.
Protects the shipowner from a daily loss of income arising from physical damage to the vessel.
Hiring the vessel out to another party to use for their own purposes (subject of course to the terms and conditions of the hire agreement). This contract will be for a period of time is known as chartering. The ship owner can earn charter hire which will normally be paid on a monthly basis for however long the arrangement is, which might be a year or might be far longer such as 5 years.
Carrying cargo - this is where a ship may be hired for a single voyage by one party who has a large amount of cargo to transport, or the shipowner just hires out space within the ship to a large number of different parties. He will charge each party freight - which is the price for getting the goods to destination. Unless the agreement says anything different the freight, or price being paid for the goods to be transported is only due and payable when the goods arrive at their destination. Even if the goods are damaged, as long as they are recognisable, the freight is due and payable although the shipowner often finds himself in a situation where the cargo owner wants to make a claim for damage to the goods and at the same time refuses the pay the freight even though the two issues are separate and distinct.
Carrying passengers each of whom will have purchased a ticket for their journey
There are no particular extensions that are regularly provided for these types of insurance, although the shipowner will want to try and get the waiting period for loss of hire insurance as low as he can and the payout period as high as he can.
- War
- Strikes
- Malicious acts
- Actual and constructive total loss.
-Non-physical blocking of a vessel (e.g.
by order from authorities).
The coverage is usually provided for a period of one year.
Sum insured is agreed daily compensation that equals to the actual average income of the Shipowner. However Loss of Hire does not work in case of a total loss of the vessel, when loss of freight income may be recovered by Increased Value Insurance. Limits of cover are offered based on the number of indemnity days multiplied by the daily earnings total at the inception of the policy. This is typically 90, 120, or 180 days. • Standard minimum deductible of 14 days.
The loss of hire cover responds to a shipowner's loss of income following physical damage to a vessel. It includes protection against stranding, physical obstruction of the vessel and the removal of damaged cargo, offering comprehensive support for shipowners
The extent of the insurance and the premium are
the result of the daily indemnity during a certain period per casualty and per policy year.
Rating factors
Loss of income
Earnings history of the vessel - the insurance should ideally cover the likely loss of earnings going to be made, hence a review of what she has earned in the past is helpful, although care should be taken to ensure that the cover is only for actual provable loss, rather than a fixed amount per day.
General state of the market in which it operates - which relates to the point above about the volatility of rates of both freight and hire.
Whether for freight insurance, the shipowner asks for payment up front and even whether he makes the agreement subject to no return of freight even if the cargo does not arrive.
Loss of Hire Insurance provides coverage for shipowners in case their vessel is damaged by a peril covered by the hull policy and, as a result, the shipowner loses income because the vessel cannot be used to generate freight income. The coverage compensates the shipowner for the loss of income while the ship is being repaired.
