Logistics Insurance

Kiln has developed insurance products to respond to the complex legal risks faced by organisations involved in the transport and shipping industry. Our focus is on national and international forwarders and logistics and multi-modal transport operators. Businesses in this sector also face a wide range of legal-liability exposures, often across several different jurisdictions, making this an area where Kiln’s international expertise in both underwriting and claims can benefit our clients.

Our underwriters are market leaders in offering liability insurance to the marine, transport and logistics sectors through our specialist marine liability team. Several of our underwriters have the benefit of marine industry experience before joining the insurance business. This detailed knowledge of the shipping and transport industry means our underwriters have a thorough understanding, and first-hand experience, of the sector’s risks.

We can offer liability coverage on many types of operations including:

Freight forwarders and logistics operators
Ports and terminals insurance
Transport operators
Warehousing and distribution companies
Ships agents and vessel charterers

We also cover physical loss or damage for:

Containers and transport equipment
Terminal handling equipment

We can offer the following maximum line sizes:

Liability: USD 25m
Containers: USD 10m
Equipment: USD 5m

Our logistics underwriters write business in London at Lloyd’s and directly with UK and international producers through our dedicated service company in Ipswich and Continental European. Asian producers can also access our logistics underwriting capability via our service companies located in those regions.
