About this programme

The Marine Insurance Management programme is designed to provide participants with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills required to manage insurance operations within the maritime and shipping industry. The course explores the relationship between marine transportation, commercial risks, insurance protection, and global trade.

Participants will gain an understanding of how marine insurance supports the movement of goods and vessels by protecting shipowners, cargo owners, freight operators, and other stakeholders against financial losses arising from maritime risks.

Through practical case studies and industry-focused learning, participants will develop the competence needed to analyse marine risks, design appropriate insurance solutions, manage claims processes, and support effective decision-making within shipping companies, insurance firms, ports, logistics organisations, and maritime agencies.
