Primary war risks cover is available from our sister Thomas Miller-managed clubs, UK War Risks Club and, for Greek owners, Hellenic War Risks. It covers damage and loss caused by deliberate acts of third parties against a ship. This includes cover for losses caused by war, civil war, revolution and rebellion, or capture, seizure, arrest, restraint or detention. Also covered are claims arising from terrorists, people acting maliciously or from a political motive, piracy or violent theft by people from outside the ship. Cover also extends to mines, torpedoes, bombs or other weapons of war (even when derelict) and strikes and labour disturbances.
Shipowners’ concerns at increasing piracy in West Africa and the kidnap for ransom threat were addressed by the Association at their seminar co-hosted with UK P&I in Athens on 7 March. Key themes of loss prevention and response were discussed with invited industry experts.
On 7 October 2015, Alexandra Couvadelli (Thomas Miller Hellas) and Rod Lingard (Hellenic War Risks) spoke at the 2015 SAFETY4SEA Forum at the Eugenides Foundation in Athens. The event, which intended to promote safety excellence and sustainable shipping, attracted 1,100 delegates from over 30 countries.
On Wednesday, 21st March representatives from across Thomas Miller namely, UKP&I, UKDC, TT Club, ITIC, Thomas Miller Specialty and Hellenic War Risks, hosted a workshop in Athens on Understanding the Maritime Cyber Threat, as it potentially cuts across all covers. It was also the platform to launch the new Risk Focus: Cyber - Considering threats in the maritime supply chain.
