The idea of marine hull and machinery insurance is one of the oldest issues in the industry that constitutes much technical and legal complexity. This insurance line in Iran like some other lines of insurance business is an adaptation of the European experience in this field and has been adopted for many years. Given the development of insurance in Iran and the promotion of private insurance companies and due to the lack of a comprehensive and up-to-date book on marine hull and machinery insurance, a book in this field has been compiled, written, and published by IRC Publications. The book is to explicitly present the insurance issues related to ships with reference to standard clauses. However, since talking about the marine insurance without the technical knowledge about ships is quite daunting, the book attempts to generally touch the technical issues related to ship at first.

The book comprises of 8 chapters including “Maritime Transportation History in the World and Iran”, “Safety”, “Rules and Regulations”, “Main Dimensions of Ships”, “Ship Hull Materials”, “Classification of Ships”, “Comprehensive Coverage Terms”, and “Complementary Clauses of Marine Hull and Machinery Insurance”.
