Special Risks Insurance Consortium (SRIC)

(SRIC)

The Consortium was set up to provide insurance cover, collectively and not individually, for special risks as determined by it, which shall include all types of insurance cover, as determined and agreed upon by the Committee on behalf of Council members

The Consortium has its own constitution (under the umbrella of ICZ) and is managed by a committee elected by the participating members. The pool provides insurance cover for risks that ICZ members are unable (or do not want to) underwrite individually. It has a capacity of US$2,500,000 for any one risk. The capacity is subject to change by agreement by members. Risks requiring higher capacity are underwritten under arranged Excess of Loss reinsurance facilities. Subscribing members of the Consortium participate at a pre agreed percentage of the capacity in each underwriting year
