TT Club has made an unpredented move to extend war insurance cover to include containers on land in the Gulf, supporting port insurance, helping manage continued risk in conflict zones.
The London-based transport and logistics insurer has confirmed that members with existing marine war risks buyback can now extend cover beyond the vessel to port and inland operations.
“Our members are operating in one of the most challenging and unpredictable environments the industry has seen in decades. Our priority has been to stand by them through that uncertainty,” said Andrew Peers, underwriting director at TT Club.
Ongoing instability
TT Club’s enhanced offer reflects growing demand for comprehensive port insurance solutions that address evolving exposure across the supply chain.
The extension is particularly relevant for port and terminal operators, whose risk profiles increasingly span quayside, storage and hinterland interfaces.
By enabling war insurance cover on land, TT Club is helping Members manage risk more effectively across container handling, storage and transfer activities in high-risk regions.
Supplementing the cover, TT Club has issued guidance for port and terminal operators focused on managing risk in conflict-affected areas.
Key recommendations include reviewing contractual liabilities, ensuring clarity on insurance scope, strengthening incident response planning and maintaining close coordination with insurers and brokers.
As conditions in the Gulf remain fluid, TT Club is urging Members to constantly review their port insurance arrangements and confirm that war insurance provisions align with current operational realities.
