FAQs
What species do you insure?
We are happy to insure finfish, however for inquiries for prawns and other shellfish, please contact Robert Ferguson via email on robert.ferguson@sunderlandmarine.com.
Do you only insure aquaculture facilities which produce fish for the table?
No, we also provide cover for sport fisheries, research establishments, plus sites which use aquaculture techniques to farm species leading to pharmaceutical and bio-fuel products.
Can i insure my equipment as well?
Yes, all production equipment can be insured as well as vessels and support craft.
What does the Angling Lakes policy cover against?
This policy covers stock mortality caused by one of the perils in the policy document. Please note that this is a named perils policy therefore, in the case of a loss, it will be up to the policyholder to prove that the loss was caused by an insured peril.
Losses are considered on the production of mortalities.
What is covered by the Angling Lakes policy?
Stock is insured as per the indemnity scale in the policy document. This is produced using various pricing models around the UK. Only the species of fish listed are covered under this policy however this, and the indemnity value, can be reviewed on request.
Can I insure one lake/pond?
Unfortunately not, the policy will be effective across the site as a whole. This is because it would be difficult to ascertain if a loss had occurred in an insured or uninsured pond.
Can I only insure my carp?
Although the indemnity scale lists a number of species that can be insured under the policy, a single species can be insured if desired.
In these instances we will still require an inventory of the lakes for risk management purposes, however only the value of the carp will be used in the calculation of the sum insured.
