Shipbuilding
Gard has gained extensive experience in helping marine shipbuilders covering their complex liabilities in this area
Marine shipbuilders are responsible for the vessel during the entire construction process and face a range of liabilities throughout a long, and often complex process as the vessel is being built. Gard offers comprehensive insurance solutions for ship/offshore-yards world-wide. The same insurance solutions are also available for owners/buyers who seek cover for their construction projects.
