Technical break even is achieved when the gross loss ratio does not exceed 100% minus the expense ratio (between 20% and 30%, acquisitioncosts, capital costs and management expenses)
New Construction
• Critical points for Underwriters– Know the Class Society
• IACS• Has class changed during construction or after delivery
– Know your Insured• Was the vessel started on “spec”• Has the owner monitored all phases of construction
– Know the yard• Established or “beach” yard• How many previous vessels of this type has the yard
completed. 17
Summing up Hull• Marine Hull
– 2004, 2005: • Few major claims, but increase in average repair cost
– 2006:• Increase in number and severity of major claims• Trend towards higher attritional claims cost continues• Strong impact on result by claims occured in 2007, but
attaching to 2006– 2007:
• Starts at high loss ratio level, expected to produce a technical loss again.
• Premium increases do not sufficiently balance cost inflation.
Issues
• Crew• Social responsibility• Repair and maintenance• Salvage• Credit Crisis• Image of Shipping• Insurance
