The 2007 CEFOR Report on Hull Claim trends
13 March 2008, CEFOR members gathered for a one-day seminar, organised by CEFOR's Statistics Forum, to shed more light on the recent disturbing claim trends and their possible causes. As a supplement to CEFOR's own extensive claims statistics, Principal Safety Consultant Torkel Soma from Det Norske Veritas was invited to give his view of the current risk situation from the class point of view.

The 2006 CEFOR NoMIS Report (Nordic Marine Insurance Statistics)
Here again is the annual update of the comprehensive annual NoMIS statistics report. Judging from historic underwriting performance and cyclicality in premium rates, a sound basis for premium calculation is sorely needed. Although calculations of expected claims cost on individual fleets require expert judgement and more detailed statistics, the report does shed some light on claim costs in a macro perspective, by focusing on indices measuring claims per vessel, tonnage, sum insured and premium.

The annual NoMIS report on Hull & Machinery statistics is probably the most comprehensive statistics report available in the market. Judging from historic underwriting performance and cyclicality in premium rates, a sound basis for premium calculation is sorely needed. Although calculations of expected claims cost on individual fleets require expert judgement and more detailed statistics, the report does shed some light on claim costs in a macro perspective. The report was completely revised a year ago and focuses on indices measuring claims per vessel, tonnage, sum insured and premium. Any feedback is welcome to astrid.seltmann@cefor.no!

On 18^th November CEFOR held a member seminar on recent claim trends, with special focus on nautical-related claims such as collision, contact, grounding, and ice.

The 2004 NoMIS Report - Norwegian Marine Insurance Statistics
When it comes to Hull & Machinery statistics, the annual NoMIS report is probably the most comprehensive statistics report available in the market. Judging from historic underwriting performance and cyclicality in premium rates, a sound basis for premium calculation is sorely needed. Although calculations of expected claims cost on individual fleets require expert judgement and more detailed statistics, the report does shed some light on claim costs in a macro perspective. Earlier reports focused on exposure and claims separately, whereas the new report focuses on indices measuring claims per vessel, tonnage, sum insured and premium. Hopefully this change makes the results more readily available to the average reader. So you are welcome to download

The 2004 NoMIS Report
For the first time we also supply exposure curves for quoting marine reinsurance. This information should also give a sounder basis for calculations, and thus make marine insurance more attractive to reinsurers.

With engine claims constituting 36% of hull insurance claims in number and 24% in cost, the CEFOR statistics forum took the initiative to gather member's claims managers and representatives from two major engine producers and Det Norske Veritas on the 7.11. in Oslo to discuss Engine failures at a round table.
The different actors presented their respective approaches to monitor and improve the situation, followed by lively discussions underway. The day was rounded off by a final discussion led by Ole Wikborg.

CEFOR launches crusade to reduce machinery claims
Machinery incidents are the single most costly claims category for marine underwriters. In the period 1985 to 1997, Norwegian marine underwriters have paid out a total of USD 650 million in machinery claims. There is little evidence seen of improvements and CEFOR calls on classification societies to face and deal with this challenge.

13.09.99
Gloomy forecasts right on!
Last year Norway’s Central Union of Marine Underwriters (CEFOR) predicted marine insurance loss ratios in the order of 104 % for underwriting year 1997 and 135 % for 1998. This year these pessimistic predictions are confirmed by recent updates from the NoMIS database.

Actuaries and Underwriters: a Rose War?
In addition to the usual IUMI sessions, this year's conference offered a "special treat" by inviting an actuary, a direct underwriter and a reinsurance underwriter to give there opinions on the "necessity" versus "nonsense" of employing actuaries in marine insurance.
First man out was Norwegian Hull Club's actuary, or "Business Intelligence Director" Mr. Christian Irgens, with good arguments for why the "rose war" was over at least in his company, and who got unexpected strong support by last speaker and SCOR chief underwriter for Marine and Energy Mr. Jim McDonald. The whole session was moderated and summed up by IUMI secretary Mr. Fritz Stabinger.

An Actuary takes his stand (Mr. Christian Irgens)
The other contributions will be made available soon.
