Specialty Reinsurance

Our specialty reinsurance line of business is composed of reinsurance covering interests similar to those underwritten in marine and energy and aviation insurance below, as well as contingency, terrorism, nuclear, personal accident, crop and satellite. Our specialty reinsurance business is generally written on a treaty basis, though some risks are written on a facultative basis.

The aviation team focuses on providing physical damage insurance to hulls and spares and comprehensive legal liability (including war and associated perils) for airlines, smaller operators of airline equipment, airports and associated business and non-critical component part manufacturers. We also provide hull deductible cover.
