Why It Matters

​

Commercial marine operations carry heightened liability exposures, stringent compliance demands, and often tight operational margins — making tailored risk transfer essential to maintain project viability and secure stakeholder trust.

1 

Marine Contractor Liability

Policies addressing dredging, towage, underwater works, subsea installations, and pier construction — structured under USL&H, Jones Act, and local port indemnities to avoid contract breaches or surprise exclusions.

2

Port & Terminal Operations

​Covering pilotage, stevedoring, warehousing, and cargo throughput risks — with seamless integration into broader marine property and liability programs.

3

Fleet Programs

​Consolidating hull, machinery, P&I, and business interruption across diverse vessel classes, reducing administrative burden and improving insurer negotiations.

4

Contractual & Regulatory Compliance

Ensuring insurance certificates and indemnities meet international conventions, charter party clauses, and local port authority stipulations — critical for securing new contracts or maintaining operating licenses.

5

Distinctive Strength

Direct access to Lloyd’s and specialty marine markets, allowing bespoke policy wording tailored to your operational contracts.
