Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty Marine provides insurance and risk management consultancy across the whole spectrum of marine business, from yachts and pleasure craft to “blue water” hull and international cargo cover.

Marine insurance operations pose unique challenges as they include an extraordinary variety of risks and involve all types of transportation (sea, road, rail and air). Specialist, tailor-made solutions are required for effective cover of Marine insurance risks. Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty offers the marine experience and expertise to ensure that your business is in safe hands.

Covering risks involved in transportation and shipping has been one of our core activities since the formation of the Allianz Group in 1890. Our specialist teams include master mariners and cargo experts as well as insurance professionals.

As of January 2009, we have combined the two leading Marine specialists of the Allianz Group – Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty and Fireman’s Fund Marine - into one global team within the Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty brand. We have combined the established U.S. based strengths of Fireman’s Fund Marine with the global range and specialist capabilities of Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty to create one of the world’s largest Marine insurers.

We can now serve our customers through our dedicated Marine centres in Hamburg, New York, London and Paris assisted by specialist regional offices in key locations around the world.

The claims process is the heart of our business, and it is a perfect opportunity to prove our outstanding levels of service. Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty’s aim is to provide an exemplary, sympathetic and prompt service to our clients in a professional and helpful manner. We possess unmatched experience in handling claims at all levels and in all classes of marine business and our market-leading claims teams include lawyers, engineers and industry practitioners.

We also offer clients the opportunity to participate in risk management surveys as well as loss prevention reviews. Our partner surveyors work with clients to minimize risk and prevent loss and damage by promoting best practices in risk management, to the mutual benefit of client, broker and Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty.
