SIBS 2023: New marine insurance launches
Howden UK & Ireland has launched its new marine insurance practice at the Southampton International Boat Show. The new marine practice provides a full spectrum of insurance solutions to the marine industry, UK boat owners and blue ocean cruisers.

The new structure brings together the existing Howden Group marine businesses: Haven Knox-Johnston, A-Plan Marine, Howden Fastnet, Euromarine Insurance Services, plus Howden’s most recent marine acquisition, Curtis Marine.
The highly experienced team includes some of the industry’s most recognised professionals, plus more than 70 insurance specialists across six office locations.

Our goal is to recognise and meet the needs of clients head-on by placing their requirements at the very centre of our thinking. We want to deliver choice, be accessible, give expert advice and deliver real value for money at a time when rising costs are challenging and personal service is at a premium.
