Marine Professional Indemnity Insurance

Providing tailored policies to marine professionals

Businesses in the maritime industry face a highly specific set of risks that are unique to their areas of work. Supporting maritime professionals since 1998, Travelers is now a recognised leader in the sector and has the knowledge to help manage and cover these risks confidently.

Our Underwriting and Claims teams take pride in providing a tailored approach that’s able to meet individual business needs. We have a flexible approach to underwriting, with the ability to receive enquiries via our presence at Lloyd’s of London as well as collaborate with regional and international brokers outside of the Lloyd’s market. With specialist knowledge that enables us to provide a proficient service on both claims and policy enhancements, maritime professionals can stay protected in the face of evolving business and industry requirements.
