Introduction to Stevedores Liability Insurance
Stevedores are at the frontline of port operations—loading, unloading, and handling cargo. But one accident can result in major liability: damaged vessels, injured workers, or disrupted supply chains. Stevedores Liability Insurance protects cargo operators, logistics contractors, and terminal handlers from the financial consequences of such incidents.
With Honor Insurance, you gain peace of mind knowing your marine operations are safeguarded against third-party claims, legal expenses, and property damage—so you can focus on moving goods, not managing lawsuits.
