Growing Number of Ship Accidents
The Baltimore Bridge collapsed on March 28, 2024, as a result of a cargo ship colliding with it. This event may result in the highest marine insurance payment ever. Baltimore is the largest port in the US for handling vehicles including automobiles and large farm equipment. A range of US$ 2 billion to US$ 4 billion might be the insured damages. Ship accidents lead to a rise in insurance claims including hull and machinery damage, cargo loss, and third-party liabilities. As a result of the increased payouts, insurers are financially more burdened. In order to guarantee insurers' profitability and adequate reserves to handle big claims, higher premiums are required. Moreover, shipping businesses can be mandated by insurers to establish more comprehensive risk management and safety protocols.
Increasing Trade Volume Due to Thriving E-Commerce Sector
The rising trade volume across the globe due to the thriving e-commerce industry is bolstering the market growth. Due to the increased maritime activity, there is a corresponding rise in the need for marine insurance to protect against the dangers involved in moving these commodities. E-commerce platforms offer a vast array of products on a large scale worldwide. This diversification requires specialized insurance policies tailored to different types of goods, thereby expanding the marine insurance market. In contrast to conventional large-scale delivery, e-commerce frequently entails more frequent shipments. Besides this, the logistics of handling numerous smaller shipments introduce complexities and risks that marine insurer address including a higher potential for loss, damage, and delays. According to estimates made by Forbes, the e-commerce market would reach a value of about US$ 7.9 trillion by 2027.
Rising Geopolitical Tensions
Geopolitical tensions have the potential to turn into wars or conflicts, which can disrupt maritime lanes, destroy ships, and result in the loss of cargo. The escalating demand for higher insurance premiums and more comprehensive coverage requirements on account of the increasing risk of hijackings, theft, and crew kidnappings is bolstering the market growth. Increased cybersecurity threats such as cyberattacks on maritime corporations and port infrastructure can also result from geopolitical conflicts. Insurance companies are responding to these new threats by providing cyber insurance solutions designed specifically for the marine sector. Moreover, leading companies are forming alliances to offer improved services and insurance quotes to the marine industry. For instance, AXA XL and Oversea Insurance Agency, an EPIC company, partnered to provide specialized maritime general liability insurance coverage for Marine Artisans in the United States on 20 December 2023. Furthermore, Marine Artisans are contractors that focus on different aspects of building, maintaining, and repairing boats. These aspects involve fiberglass repair, marine carpentry, hull cleaning, electronics installation and repair, marine plumbing, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), and machinery, as well as engine and machinery servicing.
