Business insurance

Insurance for Commercial Fishing Operators

Commercial fishing is a high-risk operation, and the cover reflects it. Hull and marine cover protects the vessel itself, while marine liability and protection and indemnity cover handle injury, pollution and third-party claims at sea. Add cover for gear and catch, and workers' compensation or equivalent injury cover for crew, which is critical given how dangerous the work is. Because marine risk is specialised, cover is best arranged with brokers who understand fishing. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review your program before the new financial year.

Common questions

Commercial Fishing Operators — insurance questions

Why does fishing need specialist marine insurance?

Because the risks — to the vessel, crew, catch and the marine environment — are specialised and serious, well beyond what general business cover handles. Marine brokers structure hull, liability and crew cover around the realities of working at sea, which generic policies cannot.

Is crew injury cover essential?

Yes. Fishing is one of the most dangerous occupations, so cover for crew injury is critical, whether through workers' compensation or equivalent marine arrangements. Reviewing it around a 30 June renewal keeps it matched to your current crew and operation.
