Ryan Specialty Group unit launches new marine claims adjusting company

RSG Underwriting Managers (RSGUM), the managing general underwriting division of Ryan Specialty Group, has formed an independent marine insurance consultancy and claims adjusting company called Smooth Waters.

Smooth Waters, a part of RSGUM’s recently formed marine practice, will serve the energy and marine marketplace.

The company recently completed the acquisition of Houston-based specialty marine managing general agency Trident Marine Managers to strengthen RSGUM and further "build a global specialty marine practice".

Jorge Pecci, head of RSGUM’s marine practice and president, CEO of SafeWaters, commented: "We are committed to delivering a value-added proposition focused on proactive loss prevention and premier claims services.

"The formation of Smooth Waters allows us to go beyond traditional risk assessments by working alongside clients and brokers to develop custom-made solutions to address business and asset protection needs."

David Kish, vice president of Smooth Waters and VP of claims at Trident Marine, added: "Trident Marine has adjusted marine claims for over 30 years. Our emphasis is on delivering an unsurpassed level of customer service and maintaining a smooth and uneventful claims process. The formation of Smooth Waters allows us to bring this expertise to clients via a formalized approach."
