Charterers' Liability Cover

Charterers' Liability Cover is a specialist type of marine insurance that protects the customer’s interests until goods arrive at the vessel’s destination.

When chartering a vessel, depending on the terms of the contract, traders may be liable for problems with the cargo, such as loss, damage or late delivery. Traders need to be certain that they are comprehensively protected against any unexpected liabilities that may arise.

While Charterers’ Liability Cover isn’t mandatory, it can safeguard you against serious risks to which you would otherwise be exposed when chartering a vessel. As a global provider of risk management services Intertek is in a position to secure highly competitive rates, allowing companies of all sizes to benefit from a high level of cover.
