Comprehensive services of brown water hull insurance for ship owners and shipping companies
The better a ship owner or private owner-participant can insure himself against all risks involved in inland navigation with a comprehensive hull and machinery insurance, the more relaxed he can pursue his core business. The sums of damage caused by an accident or engine damage are often high. The ship itself and its accessories may require repair or even wreck removal. The water levels of the Danube, Rhine and other inland waterways can often abet an accident, which generates high costs for the repair of a cargo motor vessel, single hull tanker or double hull tanker. The right insurance ensures that the water levels for shipping companies and private owners will settle down again at a satisfactory level, also in terms of costs.
