Marine Insurance volume 1

For thirty years this book has introduced embryo practitioners to the marine insurance industry. With the skill of a widely experienced writer and lecturer Bob Brown, as the author is known in the London marine insurance market and in many countries worldwide, has introduced students and pratitioners, in an easy to follow text, to the fundamental principles on which this great industry is based; and has guided them through the London market practices as they have deveoped during the 20th century. So much has changed over the years that a marine underwriter or broker of the 1950's would be lost in today's marine insurance market where abrogation of the SG form of policy has led to introduction of the MAR policy form and inevitable changes in the clause and conditions on which the contract is based. Even the insurance markets have changed their structure and practices; which, today, are becomming ever more reliant of electronic data interchange for efficient and accurate international business communication. Throughout these years "Principles and Basic Practice" has kept pace with deveopments through a series of revised editions. For benefit of markets which have not yet adopted tho new forms of cover practised in the London market, the sixth edition continues to retain information regarding use of the SG form of policy. But generally, the text has been completely revised for the new edition so that the reader can study the modern structure of Lloyd's and the rest of the London market; together with an introduction to market practices and marine insurance conditions of today. Marine Insurance Principles and Basic Practice is essential reading for all those who are studying for technical marine insurance examinations. Every office concerned with marine insurance practice, especially those whose business is only indirectly connected with the subject, should have a copy of the latest edition to which technical personnel can refer.
