In this week's Financial Services Online podcast, host Paige Estritori explores recent developments in the marine insurance sector. Firstly, she discusses the entry of Marinex Underwriting, backed by Rhodian Group and distributor Amwins, into Australia's marine insurance market, offering tailored solutions for local customers. The podcast also covers the Australian government's enlistment of global insurance broker Marsh to manage risk advisory aspects of the Royal Australian Navy's Maritime Insurance Program. There's also alarming news about marina operators in Northern Australia struggling with a 300% increase in insurance premiums, requiring intervention from the Federal Government.
