Cargo Handling Facility

The TT Club provides liability, property and equipment insurance to marine terminals, stevedores, inland clearance depots, river terminals, container freight stations, container storage depots and airfreight handling terminals.

As well as liability for damage to customer's cargo, ships and containers, your business may be exposed to domestic and international third party risks. The levels of compensation paid in bodily injury cases highlight this exposure.

TT Club cover is designed to operate alongside other insurances, minimising the chance of gaps or overlapping covers. In addition to liability insurance, the TT Club offers insurance for property and handling equipment thus protecting investment against accidental damage, weather damage, machinery breakdown or increased costs of working following an accident.
