The consequential loss following a breakdown of a machinery, plant or equipment due to a sudden and unforeseen event would sometimes be worse than the extent of physical damage. Production and business comes to a stand still sometimes, but fixed expenses such as salary, wages, interest on capital, rent etc., will continue to be incurred resulting in loss of gross profits and increased cost of working during the interruption period.

AWNIC’s Machinery Loss of Profits Policy protects insured by indemnifying the loss in gross profits and the increased cost of working of interruption period in such contingencies as stated above. The main condition for issuing a Machinery Loss of Profits Policy is that the insured must have a Machinery Breakdown Policy.

In order to have a full understanding of the terms listed below as well as the nature and scope of coverage under the policy, we recommend customers and prospects to study the conditions, exclusions and definitions stated in the policy or contact our technical staff in Engineering Insurance Department.
