In response to shipowners’ increasing concerns about charterers’ solvency, Marsh has developed an industry-first product that protects owners from damaging financial losses.

Backed by both insurers and a leading financial institution, Marsh’s Charter Default product provides a mix of fixed recovery guarantee and credit insurance, tailored to the shipowner’s particular requirements.

Covering both outstanding debt at the time of an insolvency and the loss of future revenue for a set period, the product de-risks important revenue streams, thereby assisting owners to attract better terms fr om lenders by reducing counterparty credit risk.
