Space Insurance
Liam was responsible for all OneWeb’s insurance activities. As the first large LEO constellation to be developed, it presented many unique insurance challenges. The scale of the system meant that standard approaches would not work, and new strategies had to be developed.
This included:
- The largest launch insurance policy to date.
- Satellite pre-launch and transit policy.
- Launch and In orbit third party liability (TPL) policy compliant with UKSA licence requirements.
- Global property insurance for all OneWeb property
- Transport policy covering all equipment shipments
- All statutory company insurance policies
- Working with Lenders' Insurance Adviser to complete due diligence
One of the critical activities was liaising with the United Kingdom Space Agency (UKSA) to demonstrate that in orbit liability could be managed effectively, in compliance with OneWeb’s launch licence. This required extensive work with the UKSA and the insurance community.
