Comprehensive Insurance Solutions for Ports and Terminals

Our experienced and highly knowledgeable team understand the complex insurance needs of the ports and terminals industry, and proactively create new solutions and services. Every policy is tailored to match the unique characteristics of each operation.

We also recognise that exposures evolve throughout a port and terminal’s life cycle and therefore take a long-term view to risk, working with clients throughout their policy period to ensure that the optimum coverage is in place at all times.

  • Physical loss or damage to property and handling equipment (including machinery breakdown)
  • Business interruption / trade disruption
  • Hull and P&I for port vessels
  • Broad liability including care, custody and control
