Marine engineering can include work involving vessels, ports, harbours, jetties and other marine infrastructure.
Professional Indemnity insurers may consider:
- vessel design or modification
- ports and harbour infrastructure
- jetties and wharves
- offshore structures
- mechanical and electrical marine systems
- inspections and condition assessments
- project values
- overseas work
The insurer may also look at whether the engineer is responsible for design, inspection, certification or specialist advice.
Marine projects can involve difficult operating environments, high rectification costs and significant contractual requirements.
For this reason, insurers will usually want a clear description of the work, project types and the engineer’s exact scope of responsibility.
