In response to recent shifts in global trade dynamics, GT Insurance is reaffirming its commitment to supporting Australian marine clients navigating these challenges.
The imposition of US tariffs-25% on Australian steel and aluminium, and 10% on other exported goods-has introduced new uncertainties for local exporters, particularly in sectors like beef and bulk freight.
These tariffs, effective from April 5, 2025, have prompted concerns about declining export volumes and reduced freight margins.

GT Insurance, a specialist underwriting agency with over 25 years of experience in heavy motor, marine, and machinery insurance, is proactively working with brokers to reassess policy terms, limits, and structures to better match clients' real-time operating conditions. The agency's approach is to provide flexible insurance solutions that adapt to the evolving needs of marine clients, ensuring they remain protected amid market volatility.

For Australian businesses involved in marine activities, GT Insurance's commitment to flexibility and partnership offers a reliable avenue for securing insurance coverage that aligns with their specific needs. The agency's focus on understanding the challenges faced by marine clients and providing tailored solutions underscores its dedication to supporting the sustainability and growth of Australia's marine industry.
