Towage information

Barge shipments, off-shore or project shipments, or other extra-ordinary shipments such as towing large pre-fabricated building parts (e.g. parts to a ship or an oil-rig) are exposed to higher risks than common shipments. Therefore these shipments are also subject to a more thorough examination prior to be insured.

Towage information should be sent to marine cargo underwriters to provide them with necessary information for risk assessment - ahead of a barge shipment or a towing operation.

Written confirmation from underwriters is necessary to obtain valid insurance coverage. In case you need more information about insurance coverage and wording, please contact our marine cargo underwriters.
