Port Directory
Marine contractors, staffing agencies, and waterfront employers working at these ports across the country trust LongshoremanInsurance.com for their United States Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (USL&H) coverage, workers' compensation, and maritime liability insurance.
We've written coverage for contractors and staffing companies at ports up and down both coasts since 2007 — starting with a San Diego shipbuilding subcontractor working through NASSCO. Below are the ports where we see the most contractor activity. Don't see your port listed? We're licensed in 37 states and can typically add coverage in a new state within about a week — contact us to check.
California
Port of Long Beach
One of the busiest container ports in the country, with steady demand for ship repair, dock and pier maintenance, and terminal construction work. If your crew is doing repair, maintenance, or construction work at or around this port, you may need USL&H coverage in addition to (or instead of) state workers' compensation, depending on the nature of the work.
Port of Los Angeles
Alongside Long Beach, one of the two anchor ports on the West Coast. We work with marine construction contractors, dock and pier crews, and staffing agencies supplying labor to shipyards and terminals in this area.
Florida
Port Everglades
A major hub for both cargo and cruise operations, with regular demand for ship repair contractors, marine construction crews, and staffing agencies placing workers on terminal and vessel-adjacent projects.
PortMiami
One of the largest cruise ports in the world, with significant construction, repair, and terminal maintenance activity. Contractors working on docks, piers, or vessel repair here often need to confirm whether their state workers' comp policy is enough or whether USL&H coverage applies.
Port of Jacksonville
A growing port with shipbuilding, ship repair, and marine construction activity. We work with contractors and staffing agencies supplying labor to jobsites in this region.
Not sure which coverage applies to your work at your port?
Whether you need USL&H coverage, state workers' compensation, or both depends on the specific work you do, where you do it, and the terms of your contract — there's no blanket answer based on location alone. The fastest way to find out is to tell us about your work.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Not automatically. Whether the Longshore Act applies depends on the type of work you do, where you do it, and your contract terms — not simply on proximity to a port. Learn more about USL&H coverage.
