HARNESSING OCEANS OF DATA FOR THE SHIPPING INDUSTRY

 

Global marine insurance is one of the most complex segments of the insurance market, with multiple stakeholders and extremely valuable assets that are always on the move. This can make determining adequate liability coverage and other business insurance solutions challenging.

Spanning the whole marine industry, Alesco’s specialist Marine Insurance team has extensive experience in placing risk management programs across all major marine insurance geographical hubs. We can offer marine and cargo insurance for brokers working with manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, importers and exporters.

 

GLOBAL RISKS, LONDON SOLUTIONS.

Alesco’s Cargo team has the experience and expertise to build individual programs that specifically wrap around each client’s marine cargo requirements and further dovetail with other lines of business insurance. We will look to find the solution for even the most challenging cargo scenarios, be it complex supply chains with multiple valuations, through to specific storage requirements.

Stock throughput insurance covers raw materials from the time the shipment leaves the supplier’s premises, either in the country of origin of the client or from overseas, work in progress, storage of stock and the subsequent transit of finished goods to local and/or overseas buyers. Inland marine insurance can also cover storage at distribution warehouses, either in the country of manufacture or at the country of destination.
We offer comprehensive cover for the insured’s interest, being all-risks of physical loss and/or damage whilst anywhere in the world, in the course of transit, including stock and other related ‘property’ risks.

We can provide seamless asset protection throughout a company’s supply chain, from purchase of raw materials to finished products and is ideal for manufacturers who source raw materials or semi-finished goods for additional value added manufacturing, then store and distribute the finished goods through multiple warehouses worldwide.

Additional insurance cover for niche markets can include:

• Spoilage and deterioration of goods reasonably attributable to temperature variation and contamination

• Leakage, howsoever arising

• Goods whilst undergoing process, provided loss and/or damage is not caused by the process itself

• Bespoke basis of valuation/loss settlements especially tailored, taking into account the needs of the wine and/or beverage industry as well as the specific requirements of each individual insured

• Spontaneous combustion
