BBFA is pleased to partner with Howden to provide members with access to a specialized commercial fishing fleet insurance program designed specifically for the commercial fishing industry.
With decades of marine insurance experience, Howden understands the unique challenges and risks facing vessel owners, operators, and fishing businesses throughout the Pacific Northwest and Alaska.
Through this program, BBFA members may benefit from:
- Competitive premium rates designed specifically for commercial fishing vessels and related marine operations.
- A No Claims Bonus that rewards safe operations. Members who remain claim-free for three consecutive policy years may be eligible for a bonus equal to 5% of premiums paid during the prior three years, upon renewing into the fourth year.
- The program also offers a standalone Pollution Policy designed to provide broader protection than is typically available under standard hull and liability coverages.
Howden specializes in serving commercial fishing fleets, vessel owners, seafood processors, tug and barge owners and other marine businesses throughout the West Coast and Alaska. Our expertise spans a broad range of marine insurance products, including:
- Hull & Machinery
- Protection & Indemnity (P&I)
- Marine General Liability
- Pollution Liability
- Excess Liability / Bumbershoot
- Maritime Employers Liability
- Shipyard and Marine Contractor Coverages
With a deep understanding of the maritime industry and a commitment to exceptional client service, Howden works closely with BBFA members to deliver insurance solutions that help protect their businesses both on and f the water.
