Port package insurance

As ports and terminals diversify into other activities like freight forwarding and logistics, they need insurance that is flexible enough to cover new risks and eventualities. Port authorities and terminal operators face a combo of operational, commercial, and environmental risks. These risks range from damage to vessels to losses caused by port blockage and environmental pollution and resultant liability caused by oil spills. A Port package policy is a comprehensive package with standard policy wording and some covers are optional. The major sections of coverages are:

  • Property damage

  • Business Interruption.

  • Port and Terminal operators’ Legal liability/ TP liability.

  • Cargo Handling Equipment

  • Port Vessels.
