The Helix Consortium will provide dedicated cover for data server shipments, combining Lloyd’s cargo capacity with real-time risk monitoring technology
Navium Marine, The Fidelis Partnership (TFP), and Overhaul have launched a dedicated insurance consortium for artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure cargo, targeting a growing protection gap in the transport of data servers.
The Helix Consortium will connect Overhaul’s cargo risk management technology with Lloyd’s capacity led by Navium, the marine-focused specialty MGA operating through TFP’s Pine Walk platform.
Navium will be supported by capacity from TFP’s Syndicates 3123 and 2126, followed by ten other Lloyd’s syndicates.
The consortium will offer cover for shippers transporting data servers, with some individual shipments carrying values in excess of tens of millions of dollars.
Navium said AI infrastructure cargo is exposed to environmental risks and cargo theft, creating a protection gap that has expanded quickly with the growth of AI data centres.
The Helix Consortium launched on 1 June and will offer a transit limit of up to $75m, with a single agreement party, and a storage limit of up to $25m.
Coverage will be available globally for transport by ocean, air, rail and road.
For each covered shipment, Overhaul will provide real-time, asset-level visibility and alerts for route deviations, unauthorised stops or suspicious activity.
Its AI-backed system is designed to support rapid intervention, while partnerships with law enforcement are intended to help recover stolen cargo.
Navium said the combination of live data and 24/7 incident response should support reduced premiums, better pricing, potentially faster claims and proactive risk prevention for cargo clients across the data server supply chain.
The launch follows the TFP-led AI data centre construction consortium, launched in November 2025, and Navium’s Constellation Consortium for pre-launch satellite risks, launched in December 2025.
Danielle Basstoe, cargo and specie underwriter at Navium, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Overhaul and our fellow Lloyd’s underwriters to deliver this world-first solution for the transportation of data servers.
“By combining advanced cargo monitoring with specialist underwriting expertise, we are helping create a smarter, more resilient framework for protecting the global AI supply chain.
“The Helix Consortium represents the very best of the Lloyd’s market.
“It also demonstrates the power of AI to support the next generation of bespoke solutions to address critical protection gaps.
“As the lead market on the Consortium, we are pleased to be upholding Navium’s and TFP’s commitment to delivering innovative, industry-leading solutions where clients need them the most,” Basstoe added.
Michael Davern, UK CUO and group head of D&F property and energy at The Fidelis Partnership, said: “The Helix Consortium is highly complementary to TFP’s existing data centre Construction Consortium and to our diverse product offering across the entire data centre ecosystem.
“Our dedicated cross-class capacity spanning 12 lines of business creates a unique opportunity for TFP and Navium to cross-sell these products to deliver bespoke solutions for data centre clients.
“Together, we will continue to act with speed and leadership to develop innovative products that benefit all areas of this rapidly growing industry,” she said.
Ronald Greene, executive vice president, risk and intelligence, at Overhaul, said: “Overhaul’s platform was built to protect the world’s most complex and highest-value supply chains, combining real-time visibility, 24/7 risk monitoring, and predictive intelligence across every transport mode.
“The Helix Consortium puts that capability at the centre of a purpose-built insurance product.
“For the first time, shippers, brokers, and underwriters have a solution that truly reflects the risk profile of AI infrastructure cargo.
“This is built for what is happening right now,” he added.
