Marine Cargo
Cargo, transit and stock throughput.
Direct access to the London and US marine markets lets us support facultative reinsurance placements for goods in transit, stock throughput and standalone stock, on both primary and excess bases. We also place freight forwarders’ liability and warehouse keepers’ legal liability.
Marine cargo placement
We approach marine cargo with a focus on structure, clarity and commercially relevant trade. Our natural territory is the mid-market and specialist space, where exposures are well defined and the accumulation picture can actually be described.
We place both primary and excess layers, and we respond quickly when submissions are well presented and terms are clearly set out.
Technical knowledge, direct market access
The combination of technical knowledge and direct market access lets us engage quickly and decisively, particularly where a risk needs input on structure, layering or terms.
Whether it is a high-value single shipment or a complex accumulation risk, each case gets the same attention. We work closely with brokers and cedants, with a focus on long-term trading relationships built on trust, speed and clarity.
