MARINE INSURANCE

Marine Insurance has a rich history and is considered widely as being the earliest developed form of insurance. Today marine insurance is no less vital to ship and cargo owners as it was to the shipping communities and traders of the distant past; risk and challenges remain for those transporting and trading the tens of billions of tons of goods that cross our oceans annually.

UIB Marine offers insurance protection to support businesses throughout the maritime industry and cargo owners whose goods are conveyed and stored around the world. We pride ourselves in having a no nonsense, professional, and joined up approach that is cost effective and client centred

Our focus does not stop once the insurance policy has been arranged – we pride ourselves in providing a service throughout the lifetime of the insurance contract and the association with our client. We ensure that the issuance of all documentation is prompt and in the event of a claim a comprehensive level of support and assistance is immediately available.
