The Specialist Risks team provides the leadership and underwriting expertise for marine, professional, medical and trade credit risks.

Expertise - Marine Risks
In the areas of marine cargo, marine hull and marine liability insurance, QBE Singapore is a leader in the Asia Pacific region.

To meet the Asian shipping community's growing demand for service providers based in Asia, QBE Asia Pacific has established a number of Marine Risks Units throughout the region. The network continues to expand.

In Singapore, our Marine Risks Unit was created with the establishment of the QBE Marine Underwriting Agency Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of QBE Insurance (International) Limited.

The Singapore Marine Risks Unit team has an enviable mix of specialist expertise, industry experience, plus extensive local, regional and global expertise.

"The team's expertise in these markets enables us to offer our clients an international perspective whilst ensuring forward-looking underwriting and claims services that are based on international benchmarks."
Clients can count on practical solutions to help deal with their risk exposures, regardless of the complexity. "Clients want to know that they matter and at QBE they do."

Expertise - Professional Risks
This close-knit team offers a number of highly experienced specialist underwriters who have a depth of expertise in professional indemnity and directors, officers and trustees' liability, information and communications liability insurance and marine liability insurance.

"Liability is a growth area whether we like it or not. Lawsuits are becoming far more common in Asia - and government regulators across the globe are using huge fines and negative publicity to penalise companies and individuals."

Professionals are now realising that they have to protect their organisations, and their own personal assets. Failure to do so can have devastating effects.

Expertise - Trade Credit Risks
The world may be our oyster, but bad trade debts can decimate even mid-size companies. And the fear of non-payment can inhibit a company's growth into undeveloped markets that offer huge potential (and risks).

QBE Singapore Trade Credit specialists offer a range of specialist insurance covers that can be tailored to suit any business.

"We cannot let fear of non-payment stop us from developing new markets or taking calculated risks. We are a trading people. With the right insurance cover, Singaporeans can worry less about bad debts and focus more on new opportunities."
