Marine Insurance specialists IRCM have announced the launch of new liability covers for marine-based clubs. Not only do the extensions provide vital cover that clubs, particularly those dealing with young persons and vulnerable adults, require but they also provide a seamless solution for rowing clubs, sailing clubs and watersports centres.
Mark Elcocks, IRCM’s Specialist Risks Executive said “Clubs have informed us that they are finding it difficult to obtain protection against liabilities arising from allegations of Abuse. As a broker whose key staff includes experienced rowers, sailors and water-skiers and marine club members, we understand the issues facing club officers and directors”.
Mark went on to say “Of equal importance for clubs is the addition of low-cost cover for Club Trustees and Officers as well as a Fidelity Guarantee option. The bonus for Club officials is that all Club cover – racing craft, support vessels and equipment as well as property and liabilities can now be insured under the umbrella of a single, leading Marine insurer”

They offer a traditional face-to-face service and dedicated support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
