International Group announce 2025/26 GXL rises – Container ship operators hit hardest

Sharing

The International Group have announced the finalised Group Excess of Loss (GXL) reinsurance structure and pricing for the 2025/26 policy year.

As expected the rates have been heavily impacted by a high level of pool claim activity, most obviously with the Dali allision claim with the Baltimore Bridge.

The structure of the programme remains unchanged from the 2024/25 policy year but the ratings have increased across the board, most notably for container ships and clean tankers. The new rates, applied as a rate per GT, can be seen below:

Tonnage category                                            2025 rate in USD per GT% change in rate per GT
Persistent Oil Tankers0.6258+1.5%
Clean Tankers0.4337+8.9%
Dry0.6054+3.3%
FCC0.8903+23.6%
Passenger3.4390+1.6%
Chartered tankers0.3246+3.8%
Chartered dries0.1577+3.3%
