Marine Insurance (P&I)
When a ship changes flag or class, its insurance has to follow, and evidence of P&I cover is among the first documents registries and ports ask for. Liva Marine handles insurance matters through its partner companies: we clarify the cover you need, obtain quotes and follow the placement through.
What we handle
- Protection & Indemnity (shipowner's third-party liability)
- FD&D (freight, demurrage and defence)
- Hull and machinery (H&M) and hull interests
- War and piracy risks, loss of hire
- Time charterer's P&I and FD&D liability
- Certificates of Financial Responsibility (COFR) for water pollution liability

Frequently asked questions
What is P&I insurance?
P&I (Protection & Indemnity) covers shipowners, operators and charterers against third-party liabilities arising from the commercial operation of a ship. Main risks include crew injury and illness, cargo loss or damage, collision, pollution and wreck removal.
What is the difference between P&I and hull and machinery insurance?
Hull and machinery covers physical damage to the ship itself. P&I covers liabilities to third parties and complements H&M. P&I is usually provided by mutual clubs, in which members are both the insurers and the insured.
Is Liva Marine an insurer?
No. Liva Marine handles insurance matters through its partner companies, which provide the cover. We manage the quote process and follow up the documents.
What do you need to quote marine insurance?
The ship's name, IMO number, flag, class, particulars and the type of cover required are enough to start. An existing policy and claims record, if available, help produce an accurate quote.
