Ship agent
Ship Agents and brokers do not only represent the interests of their principals (the shipping companies), but also cargo interest, forwarding agents, charterers and their activities are usually not restricted to the ports.
A Ship agent or broker assists its principal by all kinds of services and is a knowledgeable resource in local matters, such as shipping regulations, safety practices and authorities. The professional liabilities of their various activities, serving as the vessel's liaison, need to be adequately covered by a professional liability insurance and should include liabilities arising from their insured activities for:
- negligent performance
- fraud by an employee of the insured
- libel, slander or infringement of personal rights
- unintentional breach of authority
as well as third party legal liabilities such as:
- bodily injury
- physical damage
- pollution liability
For these liabilities Post & Co has several covers available. Assistance in contract negotiations, claims handling and loss prevention programs are a few of the services we provide to our insureds and their insurance brokers.
