What is Mariners Professional Insurance?

Back in 1935 a fellow named Kurt Daniels became concerned about the plight of the marine officer. He realized the officer was in a unique and precipitous position. The Coast Guard could turn his world upside down by taking action against the license they had issued him for his years of hard work.

He was then faced with a dilemma, should he try to find a qualified attorney and a way to pay him, OR take his chances defending himself and almost certainly face a suspension or penalty of some sort and a damaged reputation? So Daniels gave us license insurance, a good way to transfer the risks of legal bills and lost income to someone else.

Old Kurt would be stunned with the frequency of license actions as well as the civil lawsuits and penalties that make the mariners virtual moving targets. Kildall Agency is taking Kurt Daniels’ license insurance into the 21st century. It is now more than license insurance it is MARINERS PROFESSIONAL INSURANCE, it protects mariners against the harsh realities of today’s harsh maritime climate.
