The Marine Academy

Welcome to our inhouse Marine Academy or, as we say, the MaC. As a leading figure in Marine insurance, we have accumulated a great deal of knowledge over the years. It has helped us to grow our business and get an in-depth understanding of the industry. It is also information that we know is useful to our clients and other marine insurance professionals.  

The MaC is a way of sharing our knowledge with clients and brokers in a sensible, structured framework. It includes courses, practical workshops and tailor-made lectures on a range of topics – all of which are interesting, relevant and up-to-date. The courses can be tailored to your needs and are a great way to grow your knowledge in. Plus, they are designed to add value to any maritime business. The MaC is regularly updated to fit in with the current market.

  • Introduction to Logistic Services Workshop 

The logistic market is a challenging one. Operators are under pressure to add more value to their services, and become one-stop shops. They are often exposed to a wide range of legal and contractual liability risks and are not always aware of the extent of their liabilities when accepting an order. In this course we will discuss the various services logistic companies can provide and the risks and liabilities they can face. We will also discuss the legal framework that applies, look at Conditions of Carriage, other General Terms & Conditions, special contracts etc. and possible insurance solutions. This workshop will be given in Dutch.
