Every
single fish farm location has its own particular risk profile and
there are no standard rates for this class of insurance. The premium
and terms set for each risk will reflect the exposures at each individual
location to be insured.
There is a multitude of biological, mechanical, oceanographic and
meteorological parameters, which affect the risk exposure at each
site. Therefore the insurers require substantial information to
assess this exposure. In order to achieve this a completed application
form is required.
The staff of the Aquaculture division of SBJ Ltd. has between them
over 50 years experience of fish farming and it's insurance. A combination
of hands-on practical experience is combined with an in-depth knowledge
of the global insurance market to enable the team to assist fish
farmers and risk managers in the design and implementation of insurance
protection tailored specifically to an individual's particular requirements.
Clearly there are a large number of biological, oceanographic and
engineering issues that impinge on the risk at each individual fish
farm and for this reason there are very few insurers involved in
this specialist class. All of these considerations must be taken
into account when designing bespoke cover for each risk. Covers
placed through SBJ Ltd., are predominantly, although not exclusively,
underwritten by Lloyd's of London, which is one of the few global
insurance markets that will accept this high-risk business.
