Expertise in Aquaculture
The Catlin Aquaculture underwriters are acknowledged leaders in their field. Underwriters have been heavily involved in the development of market wordings and bespoke coverage solutions in this niche area during the rapid development of the aquaculture industry.
Our philosophy of comprehensive attention to detail prior to risk acceptance means we aim to act as partners in risk management to our client base rather than just capacity providers. We have found that this approach reduces the occurrence of relationship-damaging disputed claims scenarios and our reputation for fair and prompt claims settlement is accordingly unrivalled.
