International Insurance
International Insurance
Our International insurance segment consists of the following lines of business:
- Aviation Insurance
- Marine & Energy Insurance
- Financial and Political Risk
- Professional Lines
- Specialty Re
- UK Commercial Property
- UK/Eire Commercial Liability
The aviation team focuses on providing physical damage insurance to hulls and spares and comprehensive legal liability (including war and associated perils) for airlines, smaller operators of airline equipment, airports and associated business and non-critical component part manufacturers. We also provide hull deductible cover.
The marine, energy and liability team commenced underwriting in the third quarter of 2004 and are leaders in hull, energy physical damage and liability classes. The vast majority of business is written on a direct facultative basis with underwriters setting the terms and conditions of the risk. Coverage underwritten includes onshore and offshore natural perils, fire, explosion, well blow-out, liability risks associated within the aforementioned, and onshore liability construction (which may have longer contract periods).
Professional Lines
Aspen underwrites Professional Lines insurance through a specialist team based in its offices in London. The business is founded on a close understanding of the client's approach to managing risk and ongoing work with their senior management to minimise the long-term cost of claims. Clients are mainly medium to large firms across the entire spectrum of business and professional services sectors, where the significant investment we make in risk and claims management support is offset by the scale of benefits achieved.
Our specialty reinsurance line of business is composed of reinsurance covering interests similar to those underwritten in marine and energy and aviation insurance below, as well as contingency, terrorism, nuclear, personal accident, crop and satellite. Our specialty reinsurance business is generally written on a treaty basis, though some risks are written on a facultative basis.
UK Commercial Property
Our U.K. commercial property insurance focuses on providing insurance coverage with respect to losses to a business' premises, inventory and equipment as a result of weather, fire, theft and other causes. Our client base is predominantly U.K. middle market corporate and public sector clients and property owners.
UK/Eire Commercial Liability
Our U.K. commercial liability insurance line of business focuses on providing employers' liability coverage and public liability coverage for insureds domiciled in both the United Kingdom and Ireland.
