The Wet Risks Elements in the underwriting of Construction, Erection and Infrastructural Projects

The water forces through the enlarged cracks.

Share Is the project site on or near any water filled environment? What is the percentage of the contract value that is of wet elements? Does the project has any incidental wet elements or is the whole project being a wet risk? Looks like this underwriter is making himself an impediment in the negotiation process. But we just can’t blame him for hassling the broker, agent or client for more information as “Wet risks and Incidental...

firstTimeOnPlane

Share I felt sort of  priviledged having experienced underwriting some aviation risks over the last couple of years. So it is a feel good thing for me to pen something about aviation risks…..(by the way, that’s not me!) hopefully getting them in the correct order here! It is good to mention here – Air France disaster compounded by Air Yemeni crash tipped the aviation markets over the edge. “Ambulance-chasers” are pushing up liability claims awards to figures nearing...

Share In Malaysia, foreign registered aircraft can be used only for private purposes, ie. company staff and families.

Your Personal Accident policy covers against Passive War?

Share All basic Personal Accident policies exclude wars (whether declared or otherwise), which means all forms of wars or war-liked operations are not covered.
