Protection for the Port: From Dock to Deck.
Terminal and Stevedoring operations are one of the most complex, high-risk industries. We provide the specialized risk management expertise to protect your equipment, your cargo, and your crew.
Specialized Coverage for Marine Operations
A standard business policy won't cover your high-risk exposures. We build a comprehensive program that includes:
USL&H (Longshore & Harbor Workers' Comp): Essential. Covers compensation for longshoremen and harbor workers as required by federal law.
Terminal Operators / Stevedore's Legal Liability: Critical. Covers damage to cargo, containers, and vessels that are in your "care, custody, or control."
Inland Marine / Equipment: Protects your high-value equipment (cranes, reach stackers, lifts).
Pollution Liability: Protects against spills or releases at the terminal or from vessels.
Workers' Compensation (State Act): For any employees who do not fall under USL&H (e.g., office staff).
General Liability: Covers third-party injuries (e.g., truck drivers) at your facility.
