The Marine sector is susceptible to environmental risks and the increasing scrutiny of environmental regulations.

This coverage can encompass both sudden and gradual pollution, ensuring that your business is protected against claims for property damage, cleanup costs, and bodily injury resulting from pollution events.
Marine liability insurance is crucial for Port and Terminal operators. It covers legal liabilities arising from bodily injury, property damage, and pollution incidents caused by your operations. This policy can include coverage for terminal operators' liability, stevedore's liability, and wharfinger's liability, ensuring you are protected against a wide range of potential claims.
Port and terminal property insurance covers physical damage to your buildings, equipment, and other assets, including warehouses, cranes, and berthing infrastructure. This coverage can be extended to include business interruption insurance, which provides financial protection in the event that an insured peril disrupts your operations and causes a loss of income.
Marine cargo insurance is essential for protecting goods while they are stored, handled, or transported within your facility. This coverage offers protection against physical loss or damage to cargo due to external causes such as fire, theft, collision, and natural disasters.
Hull and machinery insurance is vital for port and terminal operators who own or operate vessels. It covers physical damage to the vessels' hull, machinery, and equipment, as well as any associated costs, such as salvage or repair expenses.

It covers a wide range of liabilities, including crew injury, illness, or death, collision with other vessels, and damage to third-party property. It's important to note that P&I insurance is typically provided by specialised P&I clubs and not standard insurance carriers.
