Hull

Amlin underwrites a diverse international hull book, with a roughly equal spread of larger bluewater accounts, contrasted by significant niche accounts for restricted conditions, loss of hire and fishing vessels.

The underwriting team is perhaps the most experienced in the London Market with the four underwriters possessing over 90 years of London Market Marine Hull experience.

For quality older tonnage, we are the largest London market leader, mostly underwritten through our interactive broker to underwriter
website, Marinsure.

Lloyd’s underwriters:

Simon Beale

Richard Lurcott
