Before You Attend: What You Need to Know
Many professionals in marine insurance excel in their specific roles but often lack a holistic understanding of how the entire ecosystem operates. This knowledge gap can lead to suboptimal decisions, missed opportunities, and challenges in addressing emerging risks.
Bridging the Knowledge Gap
Many professionals in the marine insurance sector excel in their specific roles—whether underwriting, broking, or claims handling—but often lack a comprehensive understanding of how decisions across the insurance lifecycle impact outcomes.
This workshop has been designed to help you:
- Gain a complete understanding of the marine insurance lifecycle, from risk assessment and underwriting to claims management and settlement.
- Bridge the gap between technical expertise and commercial practice, connecting market structure, legal principles, and coverage analysis into a cohesive framework.
- Prepare for emerging risks such as cyber threats, sanctions compliance, ESG exposures, and autonomous shipping, which are reshaping the industry.
- Learn through practical, real-world scenarios, including insurance placement exercises, claims simulations, and liability allocation workshops.
- Develop a broader perspective on collaboration, understanding how brokers, underwriters, P&I Clubs, and insured parties work together to manage risks effectively.
