Author: Mike Wall
Published May 2025
It was clear that there is a need for a book which links the theory of marine insurance with what is practiced out there at the 'coal face'. The book is based on the author's experiences in marine insurance. It is primarily aimed at those who are involved in incidents and claims on a day to day basis, eg, marine surveyors, senior officers, insurance claims handlers and shipping company insurance executives.
It takes the theoretical aspects, ie, clauses of insurance, and interprets them with respect to their application in various types of incident experienced out in the field in the form of case histories. It attempts to show how the theory is applied in practice.

Lifting appliances on board ship, particularly ship’s cranes, are critical to a vessel earning freight. A ship is only earning money, ie, freight, when carrying cargo at sea. If the deck cranes are out of action in port the vessel will have downtime which in turn reduces the vessel’s earning capacity. For this reason, and the safety of the crew, ship’s cranes should be well maintained, usually whilst at sea, to reduce the possibility of port downtime.
