DRONE INSURANCE BY DRIESSEN ASSURADEUREN

The use of drones also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) such as the DJI Phantom, TBS Discovery and other quadcopter UAV’s have increased significantly over the last couple of years. Businesses are now using UAVs for commercial purposes including Crop Science, Mapping, Filming, Photography and Surveillance to name a few and are using such technology to advance their services. Local authorities have recognised the considerable growth in this se... ctor and the risks associated with the use of UAVs. Regulation has become tighter and a number of territories are reviewing their guidelines. Certain requirements need to be satisfied including obtaining appropriate insurance before the local authorities will consider issuing a permit to fly or a permit to carry out aerial work. In co operation with the largest insurance market in the world, Lloyd’s of London, who are often the first to insure emerging, unusual and/or complex risks, Driessen Assuadeuren, coverholder at Lloyd's , have developed an insurance program to cover third party liability, physical loss and/or damage and premises, products and hanger keepers liability for commercial UAV operators.
