Hull and machinery insurance can protect the shipowner’s investment in the ship. If the ship is damaged, the owner of the ship gets indemnity from the insurance company. This type of marine insurance is usually taken out by the owner to avoid any loss due to mishaps occurring.

Collision Liability

Excess Collision

Liability for physical damage to another vessel you might hit.  Typically you replace the collision liability with this and add it to the P&I policy so it is included up to the limit of the P&I policy.
