Cover for sudden and unexpected mechanical or electrical failure of critical machinery and plant equipment.
Specialist Risk Group (SRG) offers bespoke Machinery Breakdown solutions that protect the equipment your operations rely on. Working with specialist engineering insurers in Singapore and across the region, we structure programmes that reflect your machinery profile, production processes, maintenance practices, and exposure to operational downtime. Our consultative approach ensures your coverage matches realistic repair or replacement timelines, incorporates essential extensions, and aligns with your broader asset-protection strategy.
Machinery Breakdown insurance protects businesses from the financial impact of sudden and unforeseen equipment failure. As organisations rely on increasingly complex and automated systems, even a single breakdown can halt production, delay delivery schedules, and create significant repair or replacement costs. This coverage helps ensure operational continuity by supporting the rapid restoration of machinery and minimising disruption to core business activities.
Protection for mechanical or electrical failure resulting from defects, vibration, misalignment, or operator error.
Indemnity for parts, labour, and associated expenses necessary to reinstate damaged machinery.
Cover for spoilage of perishable goods following refrigeration or plant equipment breakdown.
Support for additional expenses incurred to maintain operations during repair or replacement.
Protection for rupture, explosion, or collapse of pressure systems and boiler equipment.
Options for equipment under testing, commissioning, or maintenance cycles.

This covers spoilage or loss of perishable goods caused by breakdown of refrigeration or temperature-controlled equipment.
Yes. Policies can include specialist cover for boilers and pressure vessels, including rupture, explosion or collapse, subject to inspection requirements.
Testing and commissioning extensions can be added to cover machinery during maintenance, testing or reinstatement phases.
