What is Marine Insurance?

Protection for businesses, such as shipping and transport industries, from loss or damage to vessels, cover for cargo against damage, loss or misplacement, and third party liability cover for the operations of the business. Our insurance brokers can explain how Marine Insurance works and tailor an insurance program that works for you

Marine Insurance Products

Marine Cargo Insurance

Third party liability cover which is designed to cover the operations of the business.

Terminal Operator’s Legal Liability (TOLL)

Provides liability cover that a terminal operator has for damage to cargo whilst it is in their care, custody or control during transit or storage.

Seafarers Insurance

Whilst this is not technically a Marine product it is designed to provide cover for employees working in the maritime industry that meet the Seacare scheme criteria. Seafarers Insurance can also be arranged for employees who do not meet the Seacare Scheme criteria but are required to have seafarers cover by virtue of an EBA.
