Marine Liability

Marine Liability

We are a leading Lloyd's syndicate offering Marine Liability protection for vessels and shore-side related exposures. Business may be written on both a primary and excess basis.

We offer a broad range of products including vessel protection and indemnity (protecting shipowners for liabilities arising out of the operations of their vessels), pollution (including US "Brown Water" tug, barge and fishing vessels), charterers' liability, shipyard, terminal and port authority liabilities. Other classes of business within the portfolio include maritime employers' liability and marine professional indemnity (including shipping agents, ship managers, shipbrokers, marine surveyors and marine consultants). Our underwriters have the expertise to offer and lead specialist and specifically designed coverages to meet clients' requirements.

We also lead the Proteus consortium, providing brokers with a "one-stop shop" for marine professional indemnity business. This consortium is underwritten 100% by Canopius on behalf of Syndicate 4444 and supporting Lloyd's syndicates. It offers generous liability coverage, together with a flexible and innovative approach enabling us to tailor policies to meet clients' requirements. More details are provided in the Proteus Consortium profile available for download on this page.
