Insurance for Port & Dock Workers

The Port of Corpus Christi moves the world's energy. You move the port.

For longshoremen, terminal operators, line handlers, pilots' crews and contractors who work on the ship channel.

What's different

What Port & Dock Workers Should Know

The ships do not wait, and neither do you. We wrote this page for the people who keep the channel working.

Waterfront work sits under federal rules that ordinary insurance does not follow. Workers and the small contractors who serve the port both need to know where they stand.

Federal injury coverage

Many dock and terminal workers are covered for job injuries by the federal Longshore Act instead of state workers' compensation. A contractor working over water needs coverage that includes it.

Shift work and the commute

Odd hours and heavy truck traffic around the port make the drive risky. Check the limits on your own car.

Coverages to ask about

Auto InsuranceLiability, collision and comprehensive on the cars your household drives. Texas requires at least 30/60/25 liability.
Home InsuranceYour house, your belongings and your liability if someone is hurt on your property.
Windstorm & HailOn the Coastal Bend, many home policies leave out wind and hail. A separate windstorm policy fills that gap.
Life InsuranceMoney for your family if you die: income replacement, the mortgage, college.
Workers' CompensationCovers employees hurt on the job. Texas does not force private employers to carry it, but many contracts do.
General LiabilityInjury or property damage your work causes to a customer or the public.
