Marine Industry

Safeguarding Your Vessels, Workforce, and Waterfront Business


Marine insurance provides coverage for the loss or damage of ships, cargo, terminals, and any transport or cargo by which goods are transferred between points—whether by sea, air, or land. It is essential in international trade and logistics, covering both ocean and inland transport risks. 


Main Types of Marine Insurance (not limited to):


  • Ocean Marine Insurance
  • Protection and Indemnity (P&I) Insurance
  • Hull Insurance
  • Cargo Insurance
  • Freight Insurance
  • Inland Marine Insurance


Why It’s Important:


  • Protects financial investment in cargo and vessels during transit.
  • Essential for businesses involved in global trade, logistics, or shipping.
  • May be required by lenders, customs, or international trade agreements. 


Marine Industry Workers’ Compensation & Maritime Coverage


Working in the marine industry comes with unique risks, from dockside operations and vessel maintenance to offshore projects. Marine contractors require specialized insurance to protect employees, comply with federal regulations, and safeguard the business from costly claims.

    Protects employees injured while performing maritime work on navigable waters, docks, or shipyards. Essential for longshoremen, deckhands, shipyard workers, and others exposed to waterfront hazards.
