Marine insurance industry: never a dull moment
Shipping never stands still. And because of the cycle in the global economy combined with political turmoil, the maritime market is volatile and many times very unpredictable. The risks are often unexpected and sometimes unavoidable. And this naturally has an impact on the marine insurance sector.
Shipping and commodity trading are capital intensive
Goods are shipped all across the globe in expensive and maintenance intensive vessels. The marine insurance industry plays an important role in them. Not only because of issuing a policy to cover risks, but a valid insurance policy is also necessary in bank financing.
