Port Authorities even if of a "passive" nature, are still responsible for the general efficiency and safety of the port and its approaches, and may therefore, incur liability from any number of sources. In addition to general public or third party liability exposure, most ports have entered into contracts, for such things as buildings leased, hired-in plant and equipment etc. and in many cases this aspect of contractual liability may be overlooked in a port's insurance programme.

Basic Cover

• Legal Liability to Third Parties in respect of death, bodily injury and property damage arising within the port and occasioned through the Assured's activities.
• Contractual Liability.
• In addition, various extensions of cover may be purchased dependant upon the ports requirements, including:
• Liability for hired in plant and equipment.
• Tenants and occupiers.
• Overseas travel.
• Excess Protection and Indemnity for owned vessels.
• Removal of wreck.
• Unregistered vehicles.
