Shoreham Port Tour and Cargo Insurance Seminar

Shoreham Port is a certified Eco Port that handled over 1.5m tonnes of cargo in 2022.

We are giving members the opportunity to discover more about how the port operates and handles cargo. It will be followed by a short introduction to Cargo Insurance and how this works with other commercial covers.

Starting promptly at 5.30 pm, the evening will commence with a tour of the Port, after which attendees will return to Port Kitchen for refreshments. This will be followed by a presentation on Cargo Insurance given by Ben Woodman.
