We have experience in providing specialist programme design and transactional services to various marine clients that need marine insurance. Together with our partners, we have an account list that demonstrates the strength and depth of our skills, highlighting the longevity of relationships between markets, brokers and clients, which we firmly believe is of the ultimate benefit to our clients.

  •  Appointing loss adjusters.
  • Providing central claims oversight and management of claims handling strategies.
  • Providing clear advice on the next steps and the information required.
  • Leading settlement negotiations and discussion regarding resolution strategy.
  • Providing expertise in claims advocacy to help determine the right approach to complex claims issues.
  • Bringing together the insurer’s underwriting and claims personnel to provide a wider perspective, if difficulties arise.

    Our core marine products include:
  • Hull and machinery for vessels
  • Protection and indemnity for vessels
  • Charterers’ liability opportunities
  • Ports and terminals
  • Shipbuilding/ship repair/conversion
  • Towage risks/shipbreaking risks
  • Marine professional indemnity
  • Crew/ship management companies
  • General liability related to marine activities i.e., Marine General Liability


We work with you to ensure each of these products is tailored to meet your individual requirements because we know and fully understand that a one-size solution does not fit all.

GrECo’s marine team has over two centuries of combined shipping and associated maritime industry insurance experience across placing, claims, and technical support. All colleagues in the Marine team at some stage in their career worked for the largest marine brokerages in the world.

 

Within this team, we have advised and arranged insurance for the most prominent maritime transport companies in the global community. We not only provide you with more choice and an alternative option to the “mega brokers”, but also a highly differentiated choice adding significant value for you.
