Marine Trade

A marine trade policy allows selected insurance covers, including those which are unique to the marine trade, to be consolidated under a single cost-effective umbrella policy.

This type of package policy is typically suited to the requirements of boat builders and shipwrights, boat traders, chandlers, marinas, boatyards, harbour authorities, yacht clubs, sail makers and the like.

Not all marine related risks require a marine trade combined policy and standalone policies are available for tailored needs of associated marine professions and trades such as surveyors, engineers, electricians, welders and fabricators.

  • Business premises and property both ashore and afloat
  • Vessels including builders’ risks
  • Business interruption
  • Public and products liability including yacht yard indemnity, waterborne, height and heat work
