About us

Clarity. Competence. Customer benefits.

As a specialised insurance broker, we operate exclusively in the maritime sector. We insure the deductible (franchise) of marine hull and loss-of-hire insurance and offer the subsequent products with the aim of maximising customer benefit. Due to specially developed insurance conditions, we can offer customised cover concepts via additional modules. These supplement and extend the basic terms and conditions of the DTV-ADS German Hull & Machinery Conditions.

Our customers are shipowners and ship managers.
Thanks to the combination of insurance expertise and many years of experience in developing insurance conditions, especially in this segment, we are convinced that we can offer you the decisive added value. Our professional claims handling with 20 years of experience completes the package for you.
