Ports and Terminals Insurance
Specialised policies for global port and terminal operators
Port and terminal operators oversee the platforms that provide the connection between land and sea for the marine industry. Travelers understands that having such a pivotal role in movement and logistics requires a unique and specialised product. We work to develop a product with covers traditionally found separately under both marine and non-marine policies.
Our underwriting team has many years of experience and a high degree of industry knowledge that has enabled our reputation for creative and bespoke insurance solutions and claims expertise. Our proactive approach to underwriting and understanding of our clients’ requirements has enabled us to build an extensive portfolio of businesses consisting of all types and sizes around the globe. From the largest port to the smallest cargo handling facility, operators can count on a leading policy provider in the Lloyd’s market.
