Skuld Boosts Tonnage

zoom Oslo-based mutual marine insurance company Skuld has signed additional 10 million Gross Tonnes (GT) following the mutual P&I renewals which were completed on February 20.  Skuld says the outcome of the 2015 mutual P&I renewals reflected growth in all markets for the company, particularly in Scandinavia and Asia. In addition, there was a strong entry of charterers and FDD insurance. Ståle Hansen, Skuld President and CEO, said: The 2015 renewals demonstrate that we have a solid base of loyal members who not only renew their policies with Skuld but who also bring new tonnage into the club. On top of that, attracting new and high-quality members and welcoming some previous members back proves that Skuld is an attractive partner in the marine insurance market. On the commercial P&I side Skuld saw particularly strong growth in the Asian offshore portfolio.
