In the USA vessels up to 1,000 Tons dominate the inland and coastal waters especially in the Gulf of Mexico.

The cost of Hull & P&I insurance is high. The insurance market that supports this industry is not big but it is sophisticated.

In order to get the very best out of the market you have to know the agents that can access the markets and who understand the business and who can provide the service.

Too often vessel owners use either a local agent who does not have the markets or the expertise to do the business well and provide competitive quotes.

Insurance Services Advisors Ltd has serious relationships with the best and biggest.

You can benefit from the markets and expertise and "clout" that these entities bring to the table.

Here's what we do:

MANAGE YOUR RENEWAL

a. We establish whether your agent is any good and whether he can get to the markets that will bring in the best price? We give you the information to make an informed decision whether to keep you agent, replace or add other agents with different markets. ISA do business with the whole range of agents from the biggest in the World to regular, local agents. We inform your agent how we will handle the renewal.

b. We make sure that all of the information given to the agent(s) is presented by us so that it creates the desired impact on the market and reflects the desired numbers pre agreed with you.

c. We make sure that the agent is aware that we know more about insurance and the insurance market than they do.

d. All quotes come to us and we explain all aspects of those quotes to you so that an informed decision can be made.

e. We instruct the agent(s) in the binding of the business.

f. We advise you on financing of the premiums.

HANDLE YOUR CLAIMS AND CLAIM FILES

a. When a claim occurs we will take control of it and place ourselves between you and the insurance company/adjuster/attorneys so that they come to us for the information they require. This is because we know how to deal with these entities and can perceive a problem if it comes along.

b. We can, if required, pick up on all existing claim files.

c. We monitor all claims and keep you advised of their progress. The reason we monitor claims is to stop actions being taken (as they often are) that are not to your benefit. Control of claims is a way of protecting your loss record which will reflect positively on your future premiums.

CONTRACTS

a. We will review your contracts. If the insurance requirements in a contract do not conform to your program you will be in breach of your contract. Many contracts contain language in obscure places that mandates certain insurance requirements. If missed, you and your company are vulnerable.

b. We will negotiate with your potential customers if your insurance program does not conform to contractual requirements.

c. We will instruct agent(s) on any changes that are required by contract.

ANY PROBLEM

Because insurance is complex, the markets changes regularly and the challenges of the Marine and Oil business are, in many ways, unpredictable, there are many issues that can and do come up that require attention. Our expertise and work ethic make us uniquely qualified to deal with these problems and when they arise.

WHAT YOU GET

a. Cheaper Insurance.

b. Cheaper Audits

c. Your Claims handled

d. The chance to experience the luxury of not having to deal with insurance except in the decision making processes from a position of strength and knowledge.

e. Peace of mind and the ability to spend more time on your core business knowing that your insurance problems are thing a thing of the past.
