Ocean Marine Insurance
Ocean marine insurance offers coverage for businesses involved in maritime operations, such as manufacturers, distributors and vessel owners. Coverage may include the following:
- Ocean marine hull coverage—This may cover ocean-going vessels, tugboats, barges and other commercial watercraft if a covered peril physically damages them or their machinery or equipment. Coverage for other floating equipment and some fixed property (e.g., offshore installations) may also be available.
- Ocean marine cargo coverage—This may cover waterborne cargo during any part of the shipping process if it is damaged or destroyed by a covered cause or if it is stolen.
- Ocean marine liability coverage—This may cover a ship owner’s liabilities to third parties that arise during the watercraft’s operations. It may also be known as protection and indemnity (P&I) insurance.
Coverages, exclusions and limits vary depending on the policy. Working with an agent can help ensure you find a policy that best fits your needs.
