Maritime

15th April 2024

While almost any type of fire, wind, or weather-related event can certainly be devastating, accidents that take place in the ocean or other waterways can often be much worse. Trying to flee from the wreckage in the water can put people in even more danger.

Even if you can't stop a collision, an accident, or even a close call, though, you can protect yourself, as well as your career, from these unexpected incidents—and it can be easily done with marine license insurance coverage.



Maritime disasters are events that involve one or more seafaring vessels and, because of the nature of marine travel, often lead to loss of life, damage to property, impact on the environment…or all of the above. And, while some of these incidents may happen during wartime, this isn't necessarily always the case.

The sinking of the British RMS Titanic – which was billed as an "unsinkable ship" - in the early 1900s was likely the most famous of all maritime disasters. On its maiden voyage, the brand-new Titanic hit an iceberg while it was en route to New York City from Southampton. But even though more than 1,500 passengers and crew members lost their lives in this incident, the Titanic is not the biggest water-related disaster in history.
