USL&H for Small to Mid-Sized Waterfront Employers

Half the size doesn't mean half the services.

Small to mid-sized waterfront employers have unique needs when it comes to workers’ compensation. Without dedicated safety personnel, incidents happen, resulting in rising claims cost.

Through Advantage by AEU, shipyards, stevedores, and other waterfront businesses can control their USL&H costs through personalized loss control and claims services that most insurance providers only provide to larger policyholders.
