In 2020, only a specialist will do

2017 and 2018 saw a tectonic shift in Marine Insurance.

Re-insurance is the practice of risk-sharing with the industry. When you transfer a high-value risk to an insurance company, they always look to offset the risk by finding partners to share the risk. Re-insurance is, in effect, insurance for insurers.

In 2017, about 30 re-insurers drastically cut their appetite for marine risk, many of them walking away from the marine industry entirely.

This reduced appetite and capacity means marine insurance in the UAE is currently a seller's market – engaging a highly competent, specialist broker has never been more important.
