Each section needs to be reviewed for attendant risks. Cyclones or Earthquakes pose natural hazards while dredging, fishing nets and Anchors pose man-made hazards. Normal wear &amp; tear, of course, does pose a major hazard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/proclaimenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pipe-section-1024x563.jpg\" alt=\"\npipe-section\" class=\"wp-image-188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/proclaimenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pipe-section-1024x563.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/proclaimenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pipe-section-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/proclaimenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pipe-section-768x422.jpg 768w, https:\/\/proclaimenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pipe-section-1536x845.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/proclaimenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pipe-section.jpg 1867w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\" style=\"color: #528AAE; text-align: center;\">SUB-SEA PIPELINE MECHANISM<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not if Coromandel international was doing proper risk reviews to protect its pipelines. Liability and Pipeline Property Insurers would be asking Coromandel International, if they make a claim, whether the cause of leakage is sudden and proof of the same. Otherwise, the claims will not be payable as they will be deemed to be due to &#8220;gradual&#8221; cause.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is another interesting,\u00a0but not a good development for the economy \u2013TN Government has stopped the plant due to public unrest, resulting in loss to the economy. Can the company claim this business interruption loss from its insurers?\u00a0Most probably no, as the trigger is not falling in their fire policy for the manufacturing plant.
