Inland Marine Insurance

Our flat operating structure strategically places our decision makers within our territory to make quick and efficient decisions. Our underwriting teams are known for responding quickly, with most new business email inquiries and voicemails receiving a response within 8 business hours. This responsiveness continues throughout the relationship, with most policyholders and claimants being contacted within just 4 business hours of a claim being set up.

Our underwriting philosophy encourages direct dialog, allowing us to get a better understanding of every account and improved quote and bind ratios. You are assigned a single, dedicated underwriter for both new and renewal business to provide consistency and a personal touch. We collaborate strategically with agents to deliver tailored solutions, even for risks that other insurance providers might dismiss.

We contact most of our policyholders and claimants within just 4 business hours of a claim being set up. Our customers speak directly with representatives via direct phone numbers, avoiding complicated phone trees.
