UK Marine Insurance
Providing safe passage for UK maritime industries
Travelers has provided industry-leading marine insurance to some of the largest port and harbour operators in the UK for more than a century – and we’ve done the same for boat yards and marinas. We’ve also built a proud history of insuring maritime transit.
Whether a business manufactures marine equipment, owns commercial hulls or simply possesses a yacht, Travelers can offer package and bespoke policies to fit highly specific needs.
Our varied UK marine insurance offerings anticipate and cover the risks unique to maritime operations and moving goods in the high seas, from liabilities arising from defects in transported goods to physical damage to vessel hulls and the costs of business interruption.
Travelers’ UK-based team of marine specialists can provide a broad range of existing insurance products – or craft bespoke cover to meet highly specific requirements.
At Travelers, we recognise that expertly navigating maritime risks is what keeps marine companies in business. That’s why we’re here to provide them safe passage, today and into the future.
