• A valuable maritime policy is a type of insurance coverage in which a certain value of maritime property is determined before a claim is made.

  • In the event of a loss, the assessed marine policy will pay a certain, predetermined amount.
  • This means that if the value of the insured item depreciates, this will not affect the amount that can be claimed in the event of total loss, and vice versa.
  • Valuable maritime policies are different from unvalued maritime policies, which assess the value of property and damage only after the insured files a claim.
