Marine Liability Insurance
Unfortunately shipping accidents, cargo loss, vessel damage and injuries happen more often than we think. So it’s important to take the appropriate precautions and get the right cover for your marine business.
Marine Liability Insurance is designed specifically for Marine Operators, Ship Repairer’s, Yachting and Boating Clubs and Freight Forwarders to protect your marine business against legal liability and property damage claims.
Do I need Marine Liability Insurance?
You and your marine business would benefit from a Marine Liability Insurance policy if:
- You’re a Ship Repairer
- You’re an import/export marine business
- You own a private Yacht
- You’re a Port Operator (Slipways and Marina’s)
- You operate a Charter service
What does this Insurance cover?
Public and Products Liability insurance typically excludes liability arising out of the use or navigation of Watercraft. Therefore, Protection and Indemnity cover fills this gap to ensure you are adequately covered.
Your Coverforce placed Protection and Indemnity Insurance policy can include:
- Coverage for Injury to Crew where not covered by Workers Compensation or Seafarers Liability
- Coverage for deviation expenses,
- Coverage in respect of Legal Assistance and Defence Costs as standard a form of cover commonly not included, but considered to be a necessity for Commercial operators.
Where necessary, Coverforce can also negotiate ‘Specialist Operations Coverage’, for those vessel operators involved in works such as navigational marker maintenance, seabed/seafloor works and subsea pipe laying.
