Insuring peace of mind.
Ports America has administered its own self-insured longshore workers comp and liability
exposures for many years, developing a staff of highly experienced claims managers
and adjusters throughout the U.S. The claims staff directly administers to all claims
for the business.
Exposures to the operating companies are underwritten by Ports America’s captive
insurance facility, Ports Insurance Company, Inc., which is licensed by the New
York State Insurance Department. Ports Insurance Company, Inc., is authorized by
the U.S. Department of Labor to underwrite longshore workers compensation coverage
for Ports America and affiliated companies. USL&H is the largest risk transferred
into the captive.
The captive also provides “deductible indemnity coverage” for most every
other liability exposure, including General Liability, Stevedores/Terminal Operators
Liability, and Auto Liability.
Claims inquiries can be directed to the staff members in your region.
