Special equipment, electronics, gear, nets, and more

Covers nets, electronics, gear, and other listed equipment, insured for the sums specified in your policy schedule.

Increased value

Salvage, sue, and labour

Covers the costs of salvage operations, legal action, and labour as specified in your policy schedule.

Machinery breakdown

Provides selective cover for mechanical or electrical failure of machinery, subject to the age and condition of the equipment.
