The marine insurance industry is dealing with greater challenges as ship owners and their affiliates are operating in one of the worst economic environments with weak freights while insurers are faced with very volatile and complicated marine
risks, higher claims and soft premium rates. In recent years, other hazards have started creeping into the sector – risks that are less familiar with – including cyber risks affecting the safety of navigation on the high seas. And then there are the various domestic, regional and international rules and regulations to be complied with at whatever costs.

These are some of the burning questions to be addressed at the 4th Asia Marine Insurance Conference organised by Asia Insurance Review in conjunction with The Hong Kong Federation of Insurers. The 2-day conference provides a platform for ship owners, ship managers, cargo operators and underwriters to come together to discuss the common threats and issues facing them as well as find sustainable solutions of mutual interest for insurers and the
marine community.
