Can my company provide license insurance coverage as a group benefit for all of our licensed deck/engine officers?

Yes – a license insurance program can be tailored for your group to address your unique coverage needs at a reduced group rate. In our conversations with vessel owners, pilot associations and other groups, we have heard time and time again that this product is viewed by mariners as a key employee benefit and crew retention tool. It is increasingly difficult to attract and retain top talent, so this can be a great benefit to offer beyond the traditional benefits package.

We maintain an extensive panel of admiralty attorneys around the country that our policyholders have access to. However, if your organization has a preferred attorney, we will vet them and, in most cases, approve them for use on claims involving your officers. The key is to get an attorney with specific knowledge of local laws that can best protect your mariners’ interests.
