Cargo
In the UK we provide Cargo insurance for a broad range of risks including large complex cargo risks through to smaller companies and we can cover single shipments or offer annual policies.
As such we offer a flexible service and our Cargo underwriters have relationships with large broking firms and smaller independent brokers alike.

Our London-based team provides general Cargo insurance for a variety of clients including general cargoes and commodities and we maintain a carefully selected number of binding authorities and broker lineslips.
This is complemented by specialty areas, for which we can write bespoke policy wordings, including:

- Stock policies written on an excess basis
Capacity is up to US$30m on any one risk and we offer the potential to increase capacity on a one-off basis.
