Charterers’ Liability Insurance is essential for any business chartering vessels, whether for cargo transport, offshore projects, or logistics. It protects charterers from a broad spectrum of risks, including damage to the vessel, cargo claims, pollution incidents, and third-party injuries; many of which may not be immediately obvious until a dispute arises.

We specialise in structuring tailored liability policies that align with the terms of your charterparty agreement – our brokers and legal advisors understand the nuances of vessel operations and are equipped to help you mitigate exposure while navigating contractual obligations.

With our support, you can operate confidently, knowing your liabilities are covered by a responsive and experienced partner.

Navigating the seas with charterers’ liability insurance

The necessity of charterers’ liability insurance in the maritime sector is clear. It’s one of the most important marine insurances, designed to protect the charterer from significant financial losses. In addition to charterers’ liability insurance, we also offer several other professional liability insurance solutions relevant to the transport industry. For example, our haulier liability insurance solutions offer the best protection for hauliers and logistics service providers. These insurances are vital for mitigating risks and ensuring the smooth operation of transport businesses, covering a wide range of liabilities and risks.
