Hull runs red as it sails into 17th loss year
The hull market shows all the signs of being stuck in a deep rut
It has become an annual tradition for the chairman of IUMI’s Ocean Hull Committee to warn underwriters that the market is in the red for yet another year.
This year, the task falls to Lars Rhodin, managing director of the Swedish Club, who took over the chairmanship of the committee midterm.

15. Increasing risk exposure to high-value vessels
Cefor Hull Claims Trends Update as of 30 June 2013: Claim frequency and cost back to pre Costa Concordia levels
Increasing risk exposure to high-value vessels
The claim frequency shows a positive to stable trend after the peak in The frequency of total losses shows a long-term positive trend after some increase in
The average repair cost, excluding total losses, reached in 2012 its lowest level since 2004.
Some increase in 2013 is mainly due to two major losses in the first half year of 2013, which were no total losses.
But despite a further decrease of insured value, the risk exposure to major losses remains high, due to an increasing share of high-value vessels in the portfolio.

16. TradeWinds article 18th September 2013
Underwriters admit to hull pricing problems.
About three-quarters of underwriters believe hull insurance is priced significantly below the level that business models suggest is necessary.
The International Union of Marine Insurance (IUMI) conference this week took advantage of electronic voting technology to run the first ever poll of delegates’ perception of the market.
One-quarter voted that hull and machinery premiums were 50% below the level required.
A further 48% said rates were 25% below the necessary price.
And 15% voted that pricing was 10% too low.
So 88% of those who voted acknowledge hull premiums are too low, but sadly there was no follow-up question on whether underwriters are minded to do anything about it.

Dear Mona / Morten
We are pleased to give you the opportunity to quote for the above account which renews for 12 months with effect from 1st of May. The fleet used to be 4 vessels and is now 2 vessels. They are both Panamax bulkers and are valued USD 85m and 25m respectively.
The owner is Mr . Tuscot Papalacis. This is a very long standing small but high quality account which we are particularly keen to win and very much hope that you will share our enthusiasm for. Blue Shipping have confirmed in writing that they have had a clean loss record for 17 years on vessels managed by them. They had a generator damage 18 years ago.
We have attached a spreadsheet that lists two vessel schedule and our rating suggestion \ target. It is important that we maintain the existing deductible and that you pitch your indication per (or as close as possible) our target. We are aware of the existing price so the target (incl returns) is set at a level where we can achieve an order.
Vessel details :
Alfa Runner
2004 bulk carrier. LR class. Flag Panama.
Hull value $ 68m and IV $ 17m.
ITC clauses and amendments to be advised.
Ex collision liability.
Hull deductible USD 75k.
Beta Swimmer
1984 bulk carrier. ABS class. Flag Cyprus.
Hull value $ 20m and IV $ 5m.
Hull deductible USD 90k.
The current broker is H Merit and the risk is placed into Lloyds (we think Beazley) plus London companies : Aspen, Wurt and HCC.
We very much look forward to receiving your indication as soon as possible.
Best Regards
Peter Smart

Dear Peter,
Reference is made to your earlier today.
Regret to inform you that in respect of this account there is not much enthusiasm from our side. We used to write this account until 2005 when we were cut off without any explanation.
We would also strongly suggest that you reapproach your Client and ask them about the following incidents:
28/10/06 Papa Jogger Maine Engine dmg USD
11/10/05 Captain Sleeper Collision USD
This Client seems eager to play games, changing brokers and withhold claims information and we do not want such Clients in our portfolio.
Trust you can understand our position.
Best regards,
Mona
