In a Buyer’s market, what are the pricing challenges, trends and opportunities facing players in Asia’s Marine Insurance sector?

This year’s 2nd Asia Marine Insurance Conference returns as the premium peer networking, Maritime Risk Management, Claims Issues and Rates Renewal Dialogue event for Asia Ship-owners, Ship Managers and all Stakeholders.

The inherent tension in the dynamics between Ship Owners and their Insurers is set to continue as owners continue to face low freight rates, over-capacity in major trades and sectors and higher operating costs. Despite the risks faced being much higher, there are severe pressures on rates and saving costs.

In the age of the “mega ship” the ever-increasing size of cruise ships, containers and tankers is creating significant challenges for salvage operations when things do go wrong at sea. Claims arising out of maritime emergencies of ‘mega ships’ can be huge. How should the maritime industry deal with the increasing risks and costs of salvage operations?

By attending the 2nd Asia Marine Insurance Conference, you will receive the following takeaways:

  • Wide range of case studies on losses, claims and recovery with lessons for Shipowners, Ship Managers, Insurers, Reinsurers, Brokers & Claims Professionals

  • Trends and forecasts for Marine Insurance – how can you use this information to optimise operations and maximise opportunities?

  • How can your Risks be better insured and managed – what are the key considerations and solutions for this?

  • New Expert Panels on Hull & Machinery, Cargo, Offshore and Energy – what are the latest developments that Insurers and Marine Stakeholders need to be aware of?

  • P&I State of the Industry – What are the Clubs doing to prioritise risk and reduce claims? Find out more about Fixed Premium P&I Market.

  • Will P&I Renewals continue with previous ‘concessions’ as base?

  • The forthcoming renewals – what can the MarineInsurance sectors expect?

About the Organizer

Asia Insurance Review was launched in January 1991 to meet the information needs of insurance practitioners in Asia and the rest of the world. It quickly became the premier and comprehensive professional regional magazine, read by all the key decision makers and readers in the insurance industry in Asia.

As part of th organisation’s growth process and in response to the demands of readers, it went into organising insurance-related conferences to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and expertise to the region. Very quickly, Asia Insurance Review’s technical conferences became an integral service to Asia’s insurance industry.

Asia Insurance Review publishes four comprehensive insurance directories – Insurance Directory of Asia, Reinsurance Directory of Asia, Global Takaful Directory, and the MENA Insurance Directory – which serve as reference for the industry to stay in touch.
