Boat Misfuel & Marine Insurance in NZ
Many comprehensive New Zealand marine policies cover sudden and accidental fuel or water contamination — but the detail matters. The single biggest factor is whether the engine was run after the contamination: insurers may decline or reduce a claim where the damage was made worse by running the engine. EEK documents the contamination honestly and provides a clear marine recovery report to support your claim.

Frequently Asked
Should I run the engine to "test" it?
No. Running the engine after contamination can void or reduce your claim, and it makes the damage worse. Keep it off and call us.
Do you provide a report for my insurer?
Yes. EEK generates a marine recovery report on request, documenting the contamination, the work done, and the engine’s condition.
