ABOUT  MARINE  TRADES

Welcome

For a long time, we have seen many marine trades in the shipping sector operate with limited or no insurance coverage to protect against the worst eventualities in their particular given area of works. Most such operators have seen their industry requirements change and this has been seen just as another cost to doing business.


We would like to see businesses undertake to protect themselves and take into account their daily risks, which could, if left unchecked, lead them to potential default in the worst-case scenario. More and more projects and business ventures in the shipping sector and shipping support sector are requiring players to be insured and this is causing stress and mis-budgeting of the projects themselves.


We aim to provide you, the reader, the information that is readily available and offer you some professional advice as to how to proceed with these more complex and liability based insurance covers for the best operation of your projects and undertakings to your clients.

about us

The Marine Trades website was developed by the companies Eurorisk Marine Services (UK) Ltd., Eurorisk S.A. and NSA Insurance Consultants & Brokers (GR) PC to assist in finding solutions for our clients. The site provides a location for the information required by the Marine support sector and the insurance of these supporting services.


Most information about this subject is widely spaced in various locations on the internet and we wanted to help put this information all together in one location to facilitate ease of access and provide some practical assistance to our clients. 


By profession, we are insurance brokers and consultants working under different caps both on land-based risks and marine-based risks. Our main services have always been to consult and assist our clients in making knowledgeable decisions and helping them consider their operational risks when undertaking to insure them.


We noted on many occasions; people choose to insure their risks only once they had had a loss. Unfortunately, in our experience, that is only when certain managers actually appreciate their individual operational risk and start to look into taking measures to reduce that risk. The Maritime sector has always been reactionary rather than pro-active.
