Hull and Machinery Insurance

Legal support on hull and machinery insurance matters, including cover, claims and disputes

Hull and machinery insurance issues often arise in connection with vessel damage, casualties, repairs and operational incidents. These matters may involve not only questions of policy response, but also broader issues relating to causation, evidence, recoverability and the interaction between insurance and the underlying casualty.

We advise clients on hull and machinery insurance matters across the shipping sector, including cover issues, claims handling and disputes. Our work is focused on helping clients assess exposure, protect their position and address insurance issues in a practical and commercially effective manner.

Why it matters

Hull and machinery claims can become complex both legally and technically. Questions may arise as to the scope of cover, the nature and cause of damage, repair-related issues, compliance with policy requirements and the allocation of responsibility between insurers, owners and other parties.
Early legal input helps clients deal with these issues in a structured way, preserve relevant evidence and support an efficient handling of the matter from both a legal and commercial perspective.

We assist with

  • Advice on hull and machinery cover and policy interpretation
  • Support in the handling and management of H&M claims
  • Legal issues arising from vessel damage, casualties, repairs and related losses
  • Assessment of coverage, recoverability and liability-related issues
  • Advice on disputes involving insurers, owners, operators and other market participants
  • Coordination of insurance aspects with casualty response and related contractual claims

We act for

  • Shipowners and operators
  • Managers and maritime businesses
  • Insurers and underwriters
  • Parties involved in vessel casualties and repair matters
  • Clients engaged in commercial shipping operations

Our Approach

Deep knowledge of law and the industry

Rabomizo works with the norms of international maritime law and national maritime codes of various jurisdictions, grounded in a deep understanding of shipping operations and the commercial realities of the industry.

Experience in dispute resolution in international jurisdictions

We have represented clients in London, Greece, Turkey, Ukraine, Switzerland, Oman and other jurisdictions.

Rapid response in crisis situations

We promptly engage in communication with the parties involved, prepare well-grounded responses and develop a defence and negotiation strategy at any stage of the process.

Understanding of shipping operations

Our solutions take into account not only legal aspects but also the practical side of a shipowner’s or operator’s business. Clients do not need to spend time explaining – we understand the complexity of maritime processes and provide full support.

About us

If the claims, delays, sanctions, restrictions, or disputes arise, we develop and implement a legal strategy, representing clients across the jurisdictions and legal systems. Our work combines sector knowledge with a clear understanding of the international regulatory environment.
