Marine & Waterfront Employers

USL&H Insurance for Marine Contractors, Ship Repair & Waterfront Operations.

ECIA helps eligible employers request workers' compensation coverage that includes the United States Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (USL&H) exposure when required for qualifying maritime work. Coverage availability depends on the operation, employee duties, work locations, payroll, state, underwriting and applicable insurance requirements.
