Marine Cargo Insurance
This is the oldest form of insurance as we know it today. Coverage is against physical loss or damage to international air and sea cargo; ranging from basic damages to all-risk insurance. Coverage is written on a warehouse-to-warehouse basis, tailoring every part of your coverage to your needs. The basic policy is generally extended to cover temporary storage, inland transit, war risk, strikes, riots and civil commotions.
Bluewater/Brownwater hull & machinery (fleets only)
Providing coverage against physical damage, sue and labour and collision liability on commercial ocean going and domestic vessels operating in the coastal and inland waters of Canada.
Luxury yacht
Providing all-risk coverage against physical damage, as well as liability coverage under the protection and indemnity section.
Shipwright
Shipwright coverage is designed for specialty ship repairers and marine contractors with gross receipts up to $500,000. It provides marine general liability, including coverage for products, completed operations, contractual liability, ship repairer’s legal liability and miscellaneous property coverage for tools/supplies, plus workboat coverage.
Protection & Indemnity (P&I)
Coverage is offered for both property damage and bodily injury in conjunction with hull and machinery risks.
