Marine insurance is the branch of insurance of ships and their cargoes. It is perhaps the oldest kind of insurance.

This type of business is undertaken in great Britain by Lloyd’s underwriters, marine insurance companies and marine insurance brokers. Brokers are usually employed by shippers to approach Lloyd’s underwriters in order to obtain the cover.

Marine insurance can be provided either for a specified period of time or a particular voyage. All the terms and premium are stated in the insurance policy. The ships and cargoes may be insured against total or partial loss. The term average is used in insurance to mean loss. there are two types of average:

• general average
• particular average

In case of mishap at sea the ship and cargo can be lost, the ship can be damaged, some cargo can be jettisoned to save the ship and other cargo. In all these cases the average adjuster or the independent insurance specialist makes an average adjustment to assess the losses and to split them between the insurance company or the underwriters, the shipowners, the owners of the cargo and others involved if such is the case.

Lloyd’s of London

Lloyd’s, the biggest insurance business in the UK and in the world, is not a company, but an association of London underwriters. It was incorporated in 1871 and it is so called from Edward Lloyd.

Edward Lloyd was the owner of a coffee house where underwriters at that time met to do business.

Lloyd’s is regulated by several Acts of Parliament and by its own rules. It is administered by the Council of Lloyd’s.

Today more than 20,000 members of Lloyd’s in 80 countries work for Lloyd’s. Underwriting members or underwriters are grouped into 280 syndicates, generally specializing in particular types of risks. The syndicates vary in size from the relatively small units to the units of several thousand individuals.

Insurance is usually undertaken through Lloyd’s brokers rather than directly with Lloyd’s underwriting members.

Lloyd’s brokers know better what syndicate to approach and how to negotiate the business. They act, like other brokers, and negotiate on behalf of their customers. They do not bear any risks, since only underwriting members bear all the risks with unlimited liability. One  of the main principles of insurance with Lloyd’s is the spreading of risk as widely as possible among syndicates to minimize their losses. Lloyd’s is best known as a centre of marine insurance, but at the same time all kinds of insurance are practiced there. In fact, at the present day marine insurance comprises less than half the total business undertaken. Almost anything can be insured there as well: aircraft, communications satellites, civil engineering projects, livestock and so on.

Besides they do some business in travels, publishing and land. It exists because it has evolved over the centuries to meet the needs of the day.

Lloyd’s motto Fidentia means confidence in the future.
