FAQs

The main areas of coverage that ports and terminals consider purchasing insurance for are construction, liability, property, equipment, and business interruption. They often buy coverage for other marine related risks, such as environmental. Insurance coverage is also available for the diverse activities at ports and terminals, such as ship repairs, railhead management, and warehousing.

Buyers of insurance include: port authorities, municipalities, harbour authorities, terminal operators, depot operators, stevedores, wharf owners/keepers, and warehouse keepers.
