MARINE INSURANCE PROGRAM

Before 9/11, ARA Risk had offices in downtown Manhattan’s heart just two blocks away from the South Street Seaport, reflecting our corporate beginnings. And while we have expanded over the years to provide a full line of commercial insurance products, we still have strong ties with the Ocean Marine underwriting community. We speak the language of the Ocean Marine insurance industry. We know that coverage needs careful tailoring to meet the needs of different risks. So if you need this kind of insurance, please contact one of our specialists for a quick, courteous assessment of your specific needs.

The following ocean marine forms are those that are available. Manuscript policies to cover unusual situations or unique risks are also possible.

Ocean Marine Insurance is divided into three parts:

  • Ocean Marine Hull Coverage: This provides coverage of physical damage to the vessel and to the property that is part of the ship. Besides ocean-going vessels, Hull coverage is written on many commercial vessels operating in rivers, ports, and other inland waterways. These vessels include tugs, lighters, various types of work vessels used to load or unload ships, river towboats, barges, and different floating equipment classes used in and around coastal or inland ports. Offshore oil rigs and similar types of fixed marine assets are also eligible for hull insurance.

  • Ocean Marine Cargo Coverage: This provides coverage of the physical damage to the cargo on the vessel. All goods transported by water during any part of their shipment may be insured under an ocean freight policy-even if the load is on dry land. The most common cargo policy is the Open Cargo policy, which covers all shipments made by the insured continuously until canceled by the insurance company or the insured.

Ocean Marine Liability Coverage: This is called P&I or Protection and Indemnity coverage. It covers bodily injury and property damage to the public and the master and crew. This coverage also applies to the legal liability for the cargo being carried by others. Pollution exclusion clauses may be attached to the basic policy, depending on the P&I Society writing the coverage and their analysis of the loss potential.
