Strongest line to start with: Marine hull ; softening market. Data UWing driven. Very solid database. Full delegated authority (Berkshire, AIG).
Combined ratio of 90%
Marine Hull - a technical approach that has proven to be very effective:
Since 2021: Building a marine hull portfolio with a premium volume of up to USD 10 million+.
Gross loss ratio 2021 - 2024: around 51%
Technical underwriting: data-driven approach ("data lake") taking into account future loss expectations per ship/fleet

current placement of follow-up shares behind named lead-insurers
Well-known reinsurers such as Allianz Commercial or HDI Global support us – however, there are currently many overlaps here ► this looks different when we enter the market with a "new" capacity.
Marine Parametric Cargo Delay:
Coverage of pure property damage, provided that the triggering event "delay" occurs ("independent of property damage").
for sea / air transport
New product that does not yet exist in this form in Europe
Digital / AI-supported IT solution
Comprehensive global exposure control through strict limitations per e.g. ship, day, port of arrival, "critical" region (e.g. Panama or Suez Canal) or shipping line, and much more.
Flexible option to intervene in exceptional events (e.g., volcanic eruption in Europe) and impose a temporary drawing stop.
Among others, Marsh clients have already signaled great interest.
