Established in 1999, LIU’s Marine division now owns a leading position in marine insurance. That success is based on our belief that the complexities of modern day shipping and transportation require specific, professional solutions. To implement that philosophy we have built a Marine team that combines years of international experience, deep commercial knowledge and exceptional insurance expertise.
We know that the safe delivery of goods is crucial to our clients’ business. That’s why our underwriters, risk engineers and claims specialists work with our clients to understand and help control the specific risk factors relevant to their business.
