Marine Cargo

Elevated underwriting throughout the complex and shifting global supply chain.

We can help. 

 

With a core focus and commitment on servicing the critical and fundamental SME and mid-market business, we value and prioritise this segment to deliver an adaptive and responsive product for clients and brokers with up to $50m limit.

Combining deep underwriting knowledge and bespoke technology for Marine Cargo risks, Contour strives to better assess, understand and price business promptly whilst providing extensive and tailored coverage options that offer flexibility and resilience. Acknowledging that every business has uniquely different needs and ambitions, we seek to be a long-term partner and enabler to reach those goals and maximise opportunities.

As part of the portfolio, we also offer a $30m per conveyance and per location limit to the open market in a lead or follow capacity for larger risk profiles.
