    Curious as to what carriers paid out on that loss.

    Sure wasn’t Lloyds, they would drag it out for years before paying.

    my thought exactly. somebody wrote a $400 million dollar check that fast. I’d like to talk with them. It seems like it takes months to get a $10,000 loss paid.

    401 Mill? Seems like they were underinsured as the replacement value would be a lot higher. Perhaps this was a partial up front payment and the remainder will be paid out after they hire 3 dozen lawyers, several loss adjusters, 2 new brokers and 47 airline tickets to London!

    I wonder how much insurance they actually have.. The Rig is just the tip of the Iceberg I’m sure.

    It wasn’t an Iceberg that caused the damage, it was a methane explosion.

    remember, that is the owner of the rig who got the $$$ and not the lessee… i hope they have insurance that will cover part of the rig loss as well… but they definately should have some insurance for loss of income…
