Risk and Insurance. Risk: it is not only the contingency or proximity of a damage (hazard), but also each and every contingency that can be subject of an insurance contract (Risk ). the mathematical product of the probability of a damage taking place, multiplied by the consequences of such da

2. Risk and Insurance the mathematical product of the probability of a damage taking place, multiplied by the consequences of such damage:
R = P x C
where: P = Probability of an event
C = Consequences of that event
3. The Insurance is nothing else than a financial transaction by which a party, the policyholder (Insured), through a remuneration (the premium), promises to himself or to a third party a payment or a reparation in case of risk producing damages. The other party (the Insurer) who makes this payment, takes a set of risks, and is able to compensate them according to the statistical laws. Risk and Insurance

6. Risks hierarchy
7. Retention: establishing enough reserves to overcome the possible losses ¿how do we face the Risk?
8. Retention or Risk Transfer Risks with high probability and low consequences. (Risks have to be taken or "self-insured" if they don't affect the financial stability of the company).
9. The Cost of the Risk
11. Risks clasification Identified and Known ? assessable.
Identified and Unknown ? because it's difficult to evaluate its consequences.
Unidentified and Unknown ? surely we will be surprised (development risks).
12. Particularities of Civil Engineering Each project is different from the previous, always showing different elements (ground conditions, climate, workmanship…)
Technological development and innovation are steady, both in machinery and in materials
Frequently there is non-skilled labour in the lowest levels of the chain
Use and maintenance are sometimes not as careful as they should.

16. Example: Risks distribution
17. 'insurable' Risks 'not insurable' Risks
18. Deterministic analysis
Based on scientific theories or empiric formulations: identical result if you take the same assumptions for the process (ex.: rust)
Probabilistic analysis
Based on occurrence probability of different risk's scenarios, estimating their consequences (ex.: flood)
Statistical analysis
Based on previous experience on existing statistics of losses (ex.: personal accidents at work) Risk's analysis

47. Privately Financed Infrastructure Projectsand Their Insurance PFI Privately financed investments
Most important models:
BOT Build - operate - transfer
BOO Build - own – operate
Examples of other models:
BLT Build - lease - transfer
ROT Rehabilitate - operate - transfer
ROO Rehabilitate- own - operate
DBFO Design - build - finance - operate
48. BOT and BOO
In both models, a project company builds, owns and operates a plant.
BOT: the plant is transferred to a public operator after a period of e.g. 15 years at a low price.
BOO: a transfer is not intended. Privately Financed Infrastructure Projectsand Their Insurance
49. Typical for private financing of infrastructure projects:
Sponsors invest only small fraction of the required capital
Major funds borrowed from banks
Liability of the sponsors in case of increased cost or delay in completion is limited
Construction phase particularly critical: Major funds are spent without the project generating cash. Privately Financed Infrastructure Projectsand Their Insurance
50. PFI: Finance and Contract Structure
51. A Project Company is formed to erect and operate the plant or the infrastruture by means of a network of contract agreements. It often is a stock company.
Banks will provide the funds necessary beyond the Sponsors' investments.
The Principal, i.e. the initiator of the project, may be the host government, a licencing governmental agency or a public utility. The Principal agrees the project terms with the Project Company.
The Contractor and Operator are normally shareholders in the Project Company.
The Insurers are vital in view of the limited-recourse financing scheme. PFI: Finance and Contract Structure
52. PFI: Flow of Payments (Operating Phase):
53. Typical examples of PFI Projects ? large and communal:
54. PFI Insurance Requirements:
55. Insurance covers of industrial projects
56. Staged Erection and InsuranceConventional Approach:
57. Staged Erection and InsuranceTypical PFI Approach:
58. LoP insurance for a PFI LoP is an essential cover due to the scarce financial resources
of the Project Company
ALoP difficult to monitor:
Delays in early project stages may have - full impact - partial impact - no impact on the commencement of operation
Requires detailed and updated project schedules
Constant follow-up with insured and non-insured delays
Suppliers Extension intensifies the problem: The EAR/CAR insurer is normally not the manufacturer's local property insurer
59. Time excess:
ALoP: 60 days not uncommon, related to the total erection phase
Operational LoP cover: 7 - 30 days, related to each loss event individually.

60. What do the Banks ask for in a PFI ?
61. In PFI, beware of terms which aim at:
62. PFI: Breach of Contract / Vitating Act in case of a Multiple Insureds Policy No indemnification of the violating party
Other insureds to be indemnified for their direct loss
Recourse against violating party not to be waived
However,
? No indemnification of the banks
63. PFI: Multiple Insureds Clause (London Engineering Group) "In the event of any vitiating act committed by any one or more insured parties, the lenders shall not be entitled to any indemnity under this policy for or arising from loss or damage in respect of which insurers are otherwise no longer liable to indemnify..."
64. PFI: Who has an Interest in Insurance?
65. Insurance from a single source Desirable for the Project Company
No interfacing problems from one risk phase to the next
Comprehensive insurance scheme requested by the banks from the beginning
However,
Covers traditionally underwritten by different markets and branches
Manufacturers, suppliers, hauliers, operators may engage their own insurers or brokers
Local insurers normally more engaged in operational than erection covers
66. Insurance / Reinsurance Arrangement:
