Owners P&I Cover

Aurora provides Owners P&I cover, which is a comprehensive insurance policy covering certain third-party liabilities of owners and operators in the small ships’ market. P&I insurance covers owners against third-party claims in relation to people on board the ship, loss or damage to the environment, third-party property and for the care and carriage of cargo including General Average. In an increasingly hostile and costly claims environment, secure coverage with professionals is essential for the modern shipowner.
