Tailored Coverage for Maritime Risks

Our brokers routinely work with both marine and non-marine oriented risks and insurance companies, which can be helpful in formulating an insurance program for marine related risks.

Marine Insurance programs are typically very specialized. Some examples of maritime exposures and policies include:

Vessels

Hull & Machinery, Protection & Indemnity and Vessel Pollution insurance typically comprise the basis of a vessel owner’s insurance program

Marine Facilities

Shipyards, Marinas, Boat Builders, Marine Terminals and other types of marine service firms often require specialized marine policy placements such as Ship Repairer’s Liability, or Terminal Operators Liability that should be integrated with a variety of non-marine oriented commercial insurance placements.

Marine Contractors and Boat Builders

Construction in maritime environments can often involve vessels, equipment and 3rd party liabilities both at owned facilities and non-owned job sites. Insurance programs for these types of operations may be flexible and designed to address the unique exposures of different job sites , vessel builds and/or contractual requirements.

Workers Compensation

Maritime business owners often have exposure to various state and federal statutes including Workers Compensation for state act employees, Longshoreman & Harbor Workers Act coverage for maritime employees, and Federal Maritime / Jones Act for vessel crew.
