Learn More

With stringent regulations coming into force, the need to combat climate change is at the forefront of the maritime industry. At AXA XL, we understand that to reduce carbon emissions and contribute to global carbon neutrality, you need a viable approach to measure emissions, define reduction plans in line with science-based targets (SBTi), and contribute to carbon removal and avoidance projects. That’s why we’ve launched our Excess Emissions Insurance policy.

What is Excess Emissions Insurance and how does it work?

Excess Emissions Insurance covers your vessel’s carbon emissions in the event of a fortuity (covered by our AXA XL UK & Lloyd’s Marine Hull policy). It functions by contributing to premium carbon removal and avoidance projects for the additional emissions impact caused by course deviations such as port of refuge, port of repairs, picking up spares or other reasonable reasons (subject to a valid hull policy claim).

Unlike traditional insurance, where you’d be offered a cash pay-out, the indemnity is provided as voluntary carbon credits equivalent to the excess emissions emitted.

Benefits

  • Accountability for additional emissions
  • Reassurance of meeting net-zero commitments from unforeseen circumstances
  • Support certified projects with high environmental and social impacts

To be eligible for our Excess Emissions Insurance policy, you must:

  • Hold an existing AXA XL UK & Lloyd’s Marine Hull policy
  • Be in the process of decarbonizing
  • Have a proven SBTi-aligned reduction strategy

Product is best suited for clients with vessels over 5,000 GT.
