MARINE INSURANCE


        ΤHE MOST


        IMPACTFUL DRIVER



        OF CHANGE


        IS THE RISE OF



        GEOPOLITICAL


        TENSIONS ACROSS



        THE WORLD







          Some believe the roots of marine insurance can be traced
          back as far as the Mediterranean trading colonies of
          around 1200 BC, while others place its origin slightly
          later. Whatever the story, the truth is that marine
          insurance has been supporting and facilitating maritime
          trade for many centuries. Throughout that time,
          shipping has grown, evolved, and developed into the
          sophisticated, multi-faceted, global activity we all
          rely on to meet our everyday needs.
          Today, shipping is facing probably the greatest set
          of challenges in its long history, which, as marine
          underwriters, we believe we must share.
