Professional Saver Public Liability Insurance for Fisheries Consultants


Our standard cover is:

  • £1 million cover for public and products liability (with an option to increase to £2 million, £5 million or £10 million)
  • £10,000 cover for any financial loss (£50K cover optional)
  • Worldwide liability cover for temporary work abroad for up to 14 days (excluding the USA and Canada)

As a fisheries consultant, having insurance is crucial to protect you when advising commercial fishing operators, fish farms, wholesalers and other marine businesses. Our public liability insurance covers you against claims if a client is injured or their property damaged while you work on their vessel or conduct surveys. For example, you could be liable if a boat crew member trips over your equipment.

Professional Saver creates tailored insurance packages for fisheries consultants, protecting you, your clients and the general public.

Why Do Fisheries Consultants Need Insurance?

As a fisheries consultant, your advice must be accurate as it can directly impact incomes and business viability across the fishing sector. However, mistakes happen, and just one error leading to significant stock loss or compromised catch quality could leave you facing substantial pay-outs without adequate insurance.

Our public liability policies give you complete peace of mind that your insurer will deal with any injury, damage or financial loss claims caused by your advice. Professional Saver offers specialist fisheries consultant insurance starting from under £54* per year.

What is Fisheries Consultancy Insurance?

We offer policies for fisheries professionals who guide commercial fishing operators, processors, wholesalers and fish farmers across areas like:

  • Fish stock management, catch limits and sustainability planning
  • Aquaculture system design, health and nutrition management
  • Product handling, storage and processing best practices
  • Compliance with regulations and certification standards
  • Marine conservation and environmental impact auditing

Our insurance is designed for advisors, not the end producers, so we focus cover on liability risks from consultancy activities, like:

  • Professional liability for lost stocks or yields due to poor advice
  • Public liability if a fisherman gets injured during an on-site survey

What Does Fisheries Consultancy Insurance Cover?

Our fisheries consultant policies can protect against:

  • Public Liability – Covers any injury or property damage caused while visiting vessels, processing plants or fish farms to advise clients. For example, accidentally damaging equipment when inspecting a catch sorting machine.
  • Professional Indemnity (optional) – Provides protection if your specialist aquaculture or fisheries advice leads to financial loss for a business. For example, flawed guidance on storage procedures causes a large batch of stock to spoil. Our cover protects against loss of income claims.
  • Legal Expenses – Pays your legal costs and provides specialist legal advice and representation if you face civil claims alleging negligence. It helps defend against demands for compensation pay-outs.
  • Business Contents and Equipment (optional) – Replaces lost, stolen or damaged items when visiting sites, including water testing kits, cameras, waders, laptops and so on.

Fisheries Consultancy Cover For Temporary Staff

Our policies extend to protect any freelance contractors, self-employed consultants or other temporary staff you use to help with surveys, reporting or advisory work. This provides coverage for all personnel conducting work under your consultancy’s brand.

We offer varying cover levels to choose from to fit your specific business needs. Simply fill out our quick online form for your quote.

FAQs

Fisheries Consultancy Insurance FAQs

Fisheries consultants are vulnerable to negligence claims because operators depend on their advice to maximise yields, product quality and revenues. Flawed advice leading to lost stock or income means substantial pay-outs without adequate insurance. Policies with optional professional indemnity insurance serve to cover resulting financial loss claims.

Some examples of fishing losses we cover include:

  • Poor processing guidance causing stock spoilage and revenue loss
  • Incorrect aquaculture system advice leading to mass stock fatalities
  • Overstocking recommendations resulting in disease outbreaks
  • Unsafe proposed catch quotas compromising long-term sustainability

Our optional professional indemnity insurance aims to cover loss of income claims in scenarios like these across common fisheries consulting areas.

We cover liability risks from all core consultancy activities like:

  • Fish stock, catch and quota analysis
  • Aquaculture system design and technology advice
  • Product handling and storage best practices
  • Compliance with legal standards and frameworks
  • Marine conservation and sustainability auditing

Yes – our fisheries consultancy insurance extends to any third-party contractors conducting surveys, analysis or advisory work that feeds into your consultancy operations and brand identity. This ensures comprehensive protection for you, your clients, your contractors and the general public.
