Sompo has launched a new national marine insurance proposition for the UK. As of today, the insurer will for the first time be writing marine cargo, and transport and logistics policies across all regions.

Marine cargo cover will be offered on an all-risks basis. Transport and logistics policies comprise freight liability, employers’ liability, public, products and pollution liability and property (material damage and business interruption).

Bob Thaker, CEO, Commercial P/C Insurance, Sompo, UK said: “We are constantly looking at ways to adapt our business model to ensure we provide the very best service and experience possible to brokers and clients right across the UK.

“By increasing capacity and establishing an outstanding team of regionally-based underwriters, our new proposition expands the offering we currently provide in London so we can now also cater for growing regional demand to write directly marine cargo and transport and logistics policies. Both have been developed to be as simple as possible and are underwritten by our highly experienced team of marine specialists to eliminate uncertainty and ensure peace of mind for our clients.”
