Germany is a major market for Scandinavian marine underwriters, and there are tight connection to German shipping companies and German brokers. In many cases insurance contracts combine German and Nordic insurance conditions. The rights of the leading underwriter were also a topic of discussion today," says Dr. Schwampe after the presentation.
