Marine War Insurance Software - ShipWRITE

ShipWRITE is our Marine War insurance software and digital platform. It offers a digital war risk solution for placement of Annual War and Breach Additional Premium (AP) risks.

It is a quote and bind online portal that allows marine brokers to input voyages and vessel details to receive an instant quote price.

ShipWRITE’s digital platform has world-wide vessel tracking and can give live updates and notifications of a vessel tracking, and sends a notification if the vessel has moved into an Additional Premium (AP) zone.

How our Marine insurance software works

Brokers enter the IMO number, voyage details, and insured values. The platform requires minimal data to begin the quote process.
ShipWRITE uses advanced analytics to generate a quote within seconds. Pricing is based on real-time risk factors and a pre-set risk matrix.
Once the quote is approved, brokers can bind cover instantly. The platform removes delays commonly found in manual underwriting.
ShipWRITE tracks global vessel movements continuously. Alerts are automatically sent when a vessel enters an Additional Premium (AP) zone.
Both brokers and underwriters can view and respond to referrals directly on the platform. This improves visibility, speeds up decisions, and supports better risk management.
Each submission is auditable and aligned with market standards. The platform helps ensure consistency and transparency in line with regulatory compliance requirements.
Real-time data enables faster validation and response to Marine insurance claims. Brokers and underwriters are notified of relevant events as they happen.
