Chairman's messages and action plan:
The Cargo Committee has representation from the majority of cargo underwriting centre's across Asia-Pacific, Europe, USA, Canada, Africa and the Middle East. Accordingly, we are able to monitor all key developments in the cargo insurance industry. It is my commitment to communicate informatively these developments to all IUMI Members through the IUMI website. Due to our Global spread and extensive knowledge ( the combined experience of cargo underwriting within the Cargo Committee exceeds 350 years!), we are also able to respond to any of our members specific questions. Please do not hesitate to forward your questions to me.
2009 will be a challenging year for all Cargo Underwriters. Not only due to the continuing deterioration of the ultimate gross loss ratio on the cargo portfolio worldwide, but also as a result of the dramatic slow down in world trade and fluctuations in oil and commodity prices. In addition, the continuing scourge of piracy on the high seas is concerning to all cargo practitioners.
It is with all these issues in mind, and considering the common theme for the 2009 annual conference in Bruges, Belgium ' Marine Insurance - Mastering Rough Seas' that the Cargo Committee are planning their Cargo Workshop for Bruges and will focus on the current issues and will ensure that the presentations are relevant and really add value for all the delegates.
