Oregon's coast is home to one of the most active marine economies on the Pacific — commercial fishing fleets, charter operations, port businesses, marine contractors, and vessel operators. Each faces a distinct set of marine risks that standard commercial policies don't address.

Maritime Bond & Marine Insurance Coverages
A complete marine insurance program for Oregon Coast vessel operators, port businesses, and marine contractors.
Hull & Machinery Insurance
Covers physical damage to your vessel — hull, machinery, and equipment. Hull & machinery is the core coverage for any vessel operator on the Oregon Coast. We work with marine carriers who understand the specific risks of operating in Pacific Northwest waters.
Protection & Indemnity (P&I)
P&I insurance covers your liability as a vessel operator — crew injuries, third-party property damage, pollution liability, and wreck removal. P&I is the marine equivalent of general liability and is essential for any commercial vessel operator.
Marine Cargo Insurance
Covers goods in transit by water — whether you are shipping cargo or receiving it. Marine cargo insurance protects against loss or damage during ocean transit, including loading and unloading operations.
Port & Terminal Operators Liability
Covers liability arising from port and terminal operations — damage to vessels in your care, cargo handling errors, and third-party property damage. Essential for Oregon Coast port operators and marine contractors.
Maritime Employer Liability
Covers claims by maritime workers under the Jones Act and general maritime law. Maritime employer liability is separate from standard workers compensation and is required for vessel operators with crew.
Surety Bonds
Maritime surety bonds — including customs bonds, freight forwarder bonds, and vessel operator bonds — are required for many Oregon Coast marine operations. We place surety bonds through multiple markets.
