IUMI currently represents more than 45 national and marine market insurance and reinsurance associations, and through their respective memberships, it covers more than 90% of the world’s marine insurance premium.

IUMI is a professional body, headquartered and registered in Hamburg, and run by its members for its members. Its roots can be traced to 1874 and it is the world’s oldest insurance industry association.

Hong Kong as IUMI Asia Hub

In October 2016, IUMI established its first Asia Hub in Hong Kong to deliver enhanced visibility and support to this important marine insurance region.

The Hong Kong Federation of Insurers (HKFI), which provides secretariat support to the Asia Hub, aims at:

Align IUMI more closely with the activities and aspirations of practitioners in Asia;

Promote marine insurance, raise IUMI’s profile in the region and help foster closer cooperation with its Asian members and the maritime industry in general;

Facilitate the exchange of views between members as well as with governments, authorities, regulators and NGOs;

Leverage on IUMI’s global insurance expertise and conduct quality education and training to upgrade the industry’s professional standard;

Build a broader network and broaden IUMI’s Asian membership.

IUMI Education Programme

IUMI’s online learning tutorials are a series of training courses tailored specifically for entry to intermediate level underwriters who wish to deepen their knowledge and expertise in marine insurance. These e-learning courses are equally suitable for maritime professionals with an interest in marine insurance such as maritime lawyers and surveyors.
