High-quality marine and shipping insurance.
JWS Marine.

For anyone working, managing, or owning a company in the marine and shipping industry, you’ll be well-aware of the unique challenges facing you on a daily basis. The old adage ‘worse things happen at sea’ says it all, and this is exactly the reason why we developed JWS Marine – our comprehensive, affordable insurance plan exclusively for the shipping industry.
Marine and shipping insurance (also known as cargo transit insurance) is a specialist product. Put simply in the context of insurance, this means that a generic policy wouldn’t serve the purpose. A bespoke insurance plan is required which has the right policy wording, features, and benefits. This will therefore ensure that when you need to claim, there are no minor or major omissions on your plan – and most importantly, no nasty surprises.
