Marine War – ShipWRITE

ShipWRITE is our Marine War 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.
