Port Authority Cover
The TT Club's cover is designed to create a comprehensive package of insurance products to cope with the combination of commercial and environmental business risks faced by port operators. No two operators face an identical range of risks and so it is essential to tailor cover to individual situations. Insurance is designed to operate alongside other covers, minimising the chance of gaps or overlapping covers.
Many port operators engage in other activities such as freight forwarding or logistics operations and these can be covered in conjunction with port liability risks.
TT Club also offers insurance for property and handling equipment thus protecting a port's investment against accidental damage, weather damage, machinery breakdown or increased cost of working following an accident.
