Marine Hull & Inland Vessel Insurance — Hull, Machinery & Liability Cover

Car • Lorry • Fleet • Factory • Health

If you own or operate a vessel — a fishing boat, barge, or inland waterway craft — the risks are physical damage to the hull, machinery breakdown, and liability if something goes wrong on the water. I'll help you match cover to what you actually operate, not a generic marine policy.

Importing a crane — needed CPM + transit insurance before unloading

The situation

A contractor importing a crane from another state needed Contractors Plant & Machinery (CPM) insurance plus transit coverage. The crane was arriving by trailer and he needed proof of insurance before the transport company would release it.

How we helped

We arranged CPM insurance with the correct sum insured based on invoice value, added transit cover for the movement, and got the certificate issued before the delivery date. Documents were shared on WhatsApp for quick verification at the unloading point.

Fleet of 12 lorries — one had an accident on NH, needed claim filed fast

The situation

A fleet owner with 12 lorries had one vehicle involved in a road accident on the NH belt near Red Hills. The driver was injured, third-party damage was significant, and the police complaint had to be registered. He didn't know what to do first.

How we helped

We guided the immediate steps: FIR copy, hospital records, spot photos, and insurer intimation within 24 hours. We prepared the claim documents in the right order so the surveyor could process without back-and-forth. The claim was settled without unnecessary delays.

Still wondering?

Common questions people have before reaching out about this type of insurance.

?What if I've never bought this type of insurance before?

That's exactly when guidance matters most. We explain what the policy covers, what documents you need, and what common mistakes to avoid — before you commit to anything. You don't need to be an expert. That's our job.

?What happens when I send a WhatsApp message?

You'll get a reply (usually within a few hours during business hours). We'll ask a few questions about your situation — vehicle details, property type, etc. Then we'll explain your options honestly, including what's covered and what's not. No pressure to buy immediately.

?Will you try to sell me the most expensive policy?

No. We work with multiple insurers and recommend based on your actual need and risk. A lorry owner on NH needs different coverage than a car owner in the city. We explain the trade-offs and you decide.

Have a different question? Just ask — no commitment needed.
