QBE Asia P&I rebrands to British Marine

QBE Asia P&I office in Singapore will be rebranded as British Marine as of January 1, 2023.

QBE acquired British Marine in 2005. Founded in 1876, it is said to be the “largest fixed P&I insurance provider”, specialising in marine insurance for owners of small, medium-sized and specialist vessels.

QBE Asia P&I office in Singapore was originally set up in 2013 to offer identical coverage to that offered by British Marine.

Guy Pierpoint, portfolio manager, British Marine, said: “Our office in Singapore has been in operation since 2013 and has developed a strong reputation in supporting the shipping sector throughout the region.

“I am very pleased to announce that from 1st January 2023 we will align the Singapore office under the British Marine name as a part of our global product alignment. Alongside colleagues in London, we will continue to strive to provide best in class security and service.”

Kamel Tlili, head of P&I underwriting, British Marine, Asia, added: “British Marine is a longstanding and well-established name, and the change reinforces our unified approach as a team. We offer a leading alternative to the P&I clubs with comprehensive products, in-depth experience and the financial strength and security to deliver on our promises.”
