The IG Reinsurance rates for 2015/16 policy year The IG Reinsurance rates per GT for 2015/16 policy year including the excess war risks cover are as follows;   Category 2015 PY % change from 2014 PY Dry Cargo ￠48.88 ▲6.05% Dirty Tanker ￠73.17 ▲8.11% Other Tanker ￠31.38 ▲8.11% Passenger ￠377.91 ±0.00 %     4. Background on the changes in rates Further deterioration during 2014 policy year of the loss amounts for two large claims (“Costa Concordia” and “Rena”) which occurred in the 2011/12 policy year has continued to impact on the IG Reinsurance programme.  Fortunately, however, the 2014/15 policy year has so far not produced any claims which might impact on the programme.  This, combined with increased market capacity and changes to the programme structure (increasing the Hydra co-insurance share in the 1st layer and further expansion of multi-year fixed placements), has resulted in a rate reduction for tankers and dry cargo vessels, and no increase for passenger vessels. 5509.pdf (43KB) Underwriting Circular ロスプリベンション
