Wharves, Piles & Jetties Insurance

Protecting Your Marine Infrastructure

Wharves, Piles and Jetties Insurance provide specialised protection for fixed marine structures that are critical to safe, efficient waterfront operations.

Purpose built for marinas, boat storage facilities, commercial wharf operators, shipyards, and waterfront businesses, this policy safeguards essential marine infrastructure against the unique hazards of the marine environment.

What is a Wharves, Piles & Jetties Insurance?

Wharves, Piles and Jetties Insurance is designed to protect fixed marine structures from accidental loss or damage caused by events such as fire, storm, impact, sinking, and malicious damage. These structures are often exposed to harsh environmental conditions, vessel movements, and tidal variations, making dedicated cover essential.

Unlike general property policies, this insurance responds specifically to risks associated with marine infrastructure, providing certainty where standard cover may not apply.

A typical Business Insurance Package will provide cover for:

  • Property Protection:
    Protects your wharf, jetty, marina arm or pile structure against accidental loss or damage, including risks such as fire, storm, impact, sinking, theft, or malicious damage.
  • Expenses to Avoid or Minimise Loss:
    Covers reasonable expenses incurred to prevent or reduce further damage following an insured event.
  • Recovery or Removal of Wreck:
    Covers necessary costs to recover or remove debris or wreckage following loss or damage to the insured structure.
  • Loss of Usage Income:
    Provides cover for loss of usage income if the insured marina structure becomes unusable due to an insured event.

Marina Operators | Commercial Wharf Owners | Boat Storage Facilities | Government & Port Authorities | Shipyards & Slipways | Waterfront Tourism Operators
