Dolphin Insurance has been specializing in offering marine insurance coverage to a range of owners for vessels of all types for 20 years and from time to time we see something that really captures the industries attention and the SmartPlug is certainly one of these.

We utilize only the finest marine Underwriters (AVIVA, Pacific Marine Underwriters, Cowan Insurance Group and certain syndicates at Lloyd’s of London for example) for our clients and they have all agreed to offer savings of up to 10% of the annual premium because of the perceived benefit to their risk mitigation strategy. It’s commonly known that the current “twist lock” method of shore power cords can result in a fire hazard if not properly maintained which impacts Underwriters profit / loss margin more than any other type of claim.

The design and benefits of the SmartPlug show that the risk of fire is substantially reduced which is a huge win for Underwriters so offering a discount for its installation and use certainly benefits everyone.“
