Marine Insurance

As goods move across sea, land or international borders, keeping track of them becomes both increasingly important and increasingly difficult. With globalisation meaning even more trade with lesser developed countries, for example, the risk to goods in transit of theft or damage continues to rise.

Meanwhile, advances in technology are sharpening customers’ expectations in relation to manufacturing and distribution lead times. Companies today are fully aware of the damage to their business relationships that failure to deliver can bring, so confidence in prompt reliable delivery is a simple commercial necessity.

Marine insurance encompasses the safe transport of material in all its forms, whether that’s port to port, warehouse to warehouse or from raw material to delivered product, through to the programme management of massive infrastructure projects projected thousands of miles from home shores.

By necessity therefore, marine is a global business. At Chartis, we combine local expertise and knowledge with the quality and responsiveness of our international network, to ensure the best possible protection for our clients’ assets and their business reputation.
