As the world has grown wealthier and trade barriers have fallen, the volume of trade has increased significantly. More than ever, the goods we consume have been produced abroad and have travelled through several countries for processing and storage on their route to us. Moving goods around the world is still a complicated process, frequently involving factors beyond the control of the transport companies. Yet without the efficient movement of goods our global industries are unable to function. In insurance terms, the cargo market has experienced a quiet revolution in recent years as insurers have taken a more analytical and rigorous approach to underwriting. Our in-depth knowledge and concentration on specific sectors have helped us to present risks to underwriters in the best possible light. This, combined with our ability to recommend risk improvements to our clients, has contributed to our ongoing success. Our cargo team place one of the largest and most extensive global cotton facilities in the market. This facility benefits from our practical expertise and detailed knowledge of all aspects of the production, processing, storage and transit of baled cotton. We also handle a book of UK and Irish meat manufacturers and exporters, for whom we arrange comprehensive processing, storage and transit insurance. We can provide simple and cost effective solutions to the complex exposures surrounding Gatt licences, EU subsidies, refunds, bonds, securities and guarantees as well as third country rejection risks. We are specialists in:
“Our modern lifestyles depend upon the fast and safedelivery of products from any number of emerging markets.”
