Client Profile

A diversified multinational across agri-inputs, logistics, food processing, energy, and minerals, with a decade of disciplined risk management, strong loss history, and complex multi-geography marine cargo exposures.

Challenge/Situation

The client's marine risk was insured through a traditional market placement that had become fragmented across geographies and policy periods, leading to premium inefficiency and limited leverage with carriers. Despite a decade of disciplined risk management and a superior loss record, pricing and terms did not fully reflect the underlying risk quality.

Cash-flow was negatively impacted by premium timing, and the client had little direct influence over claims handling or program design across complex stock-throughput exposures spanning transit, processing, and storage.

Key Insights

A PCC structure lets sophisticated insureds capture underwriting economics on predictable layers, while a unified Stock Throughput Program reduces leakage and complexity across transit, processing, and storage. Direct reinsurance access strengthens pricing tension and keeps capacity responsive through the market cycle.
