Overview
A more connected, digital maritime industry brings with it countless opportunities, but it also opens doors for those whose intentions are less legitimate. It’s no longer just a case of navigating the seas - but the cyber threat landscape too.
We’re here to help marine customers do just that, with the AXIS Cyber Marine Insurance policy. A policy with specific coverage, risk management and cyber incident response services for marine risks.

AXIS Cyber Marine Faqs
You can request a range of limits to suit the budget.
This will depend on a huge range of factors, so it is usual to get a range of options and see which suits best. Your broker should also be able to help.
Yes, we can offer buybacks to CL380 or LMA 5403.
Hull & Machinery, Increased Value and Loss of Hire.
We will mirror the underlying terms and conditions within the policy, so the deductibles will be the same as well as the coverage. If the underlying policy declines cover citing the cyber exclusion, we will take over as we are providing cover for this exclusion.
Yes, that is one part of the policy coverage available.
If you have purchased the buyback to your Loss of Hire policy, it will work in the same way using the same daily deductibles. If you have purchased the general business interruption cover, we will cover costs whilst the systems are restored (including systems onboard), usually after a 12-hour waiting period.
We can provide cover for management companies too.
This can be found in the policy documentation.
