Marine Insurance MWS beginnings

A marine insurance warranty is a

promissory warranty by which the assured
undertakes that some particular thing shall
or shall not be done, or that some condition
shall be fulfilled, or whereby he affirms or
negatives the existence of a particular state
of facts.
If the assured fails to comply with the
terms of the warranty, the insurer is
discharged from all liability under the policy
as from the date of breach of warranty, but
without prejudice to insured losses
occurring prior to such date

MWS Scope of Work

The requirement for a warranty surveyor comes about when:

An assured has high value equipment
which is subject to marine risks
He seeks insurance for that equipment,
taking into account those risks
The underwriter seeks comfort that the
equipment and the risks to which it is
exposed are in accordance with
acceptable standards
He writes a warranty into the policy
wording, requiring the approval of
some or all of the activities by a
surveyor.

personnel (from O&G)
sea fastening, installation are based on
offshore O&G procedures
