Global marine insurance report 2013

• Global marine insurance - overview

• Cargo - market & results (focus: Sandy)

• Hull - market & results (focus: Post Costa Concordia)

• Offshore energy - market & results

• Premium & loss ratio data tables: For download

Page 4: Global Marine Insurance Report - IUMI Global... · Global Marine Insurance Report Astrid Seltmann Fact and Figures Committee: Analyst/Actuary, Cefor - The Nordic Association of Marine

Focus: Data consistency – «IUMI ideal»

Goal: Size of global direct marine insurance market

IUMI agreed reporting standard: • Gross premium

(accounting year, before deduction of brokerage and ceded reinsurance)

• Direct business only, no reinsurance business (-> avoid double-counting)

• Commercial business, exclude pleasure craft

• Exclude war insurance, P&I of IGPI

Page 5: Global Marine Insurance Report - IUMI Global... · Global Marine Insurance Report Astrid Seltmann Fact and Figures Committee: Analyst/Actuary, Cefor - The Nordic Association of Marine

Focus: Data consistency – real life

Some reported figures • include proportional and/or facultative reinsurance,

pleasure craft, aviation, ... • do not reflect 100% of region’s income (but share increasing)

(Companies outside the scope of local associations)

• change backwards in time (!) • are estimates

Real life will never be perfect, but constant improvement is the key... !

Page 6: Global Marine Insurance Report - IUMI Global... · Global Marine Insurance Report Astrid Seltmann Fact and Figures Committee: Analyst/Actuary, Cefor - The Nordic Association of Marine

Focus: Data consistency – influencing factors

• Exchange rates!

• Figures converted several times & at different times (original currency -> local currency -> USD)

• Rates vary over time: no one and only «correct» rate

• Need common standard (USD)

• Local data collection methods vary. Change over time.

• Variety of data sources (70+ !)

Summing up cargo

• 2012 Premium growth reflects upswing in trade Commodity prices rising, but economical environment remains unstable

• “Sandy” devastating effect on US cargo results

• Claims pattern changed in recent years Impact of natural catastrophes (Thailand floods, Sandy)

• Claim cost unlikely to decrease Increased accumulation risk, moral hazard, theft, natural catastrophes. Sanctions and piracy still a concern

• But: Many regions improved results compared to 2011

• Future uncertain – difficult market conditions continue

Summing up hull (1)

• Frame conditions: some stabilization since 2008 Steel prices / repair yard capacity / exchange rates / commodity prices / vessel utilization /newbuildings / world trade / Euro crisis...

• Influence income (ship values) & cost (claim frequency/repair cost)

• Repair cost / claim frequency: Stabilization since 2009

• Major claims: 2012 possibly exceptional,

but increased risk of extreme losses

Page 34: Global Marine Insurance Report - IUMI Global... · Global Marine Insurance Report Astrid Seltmann Fact and Figures Committee: Analyst/Actuary, Cefor - The Nordic Association of Marine

Summing up hull (2)

• Hull technically at loss for 17 consecutive years! • Future Global Hull Market:

• Understand dependencies between economic parameters and repair cost • Models to estimate expected claim cost (=risk premium) • Trade / Fleet development • Market discipline / capacity • The impact of major claims

Consider all aspects of the covered risk!

Summing up offshore energy

• Volatile business, no regular patterns

• Long time lag between accident and claims payment (but reducing in recent years)

• Strong global growth, but Gulf of Mexico loses impact (54% increase in no. of rigs outside of GOM since 2004)

• Claims: • Reduced hurricane impact

• Increasing impact of large single loss events (physical loss and liability)

• Future: Impact of Arctic / deep-water drilling / fracking?

Explanation of technical terms Gross premium = Premium for insurance including the provision for anticipated losses (the pure premium) and for the anticipated expenses (loading), including also commission and brokerage but excluding taxes and other contributions on insurance premiums. Before deduction of any ceded reinsurance. Written premium = Complete premium due for insurance policies which start, i.e. “are written”, in a specific year (= the underwriting year of the policy). Does not give any information on actual premium payments/instalments, i.e. the cash flow. Paid claims = Amounts the insurer has paid for known and registered claims less recoveries. Outstanding claims reserve = Claims reserve for reported, but not yet (fully) paid claims, of which the insurer has an estimation of the total amount to be paid. Includes loss adjustment expenses = Sum of total claims estimates minus any amounts already paid for these claims. Total claim = Paid amounts + outstanding claims reserve for all reported claims. IBNR = ”Incurred but not reported” = additional claims reserve on top of the outstanding claims reserve, and which for claims incurred, but not yet known or registered in the insurer’s system. The necessary IBNR reserve is derived by statistical methods based on historical claims ladder statistics. Loss ratio = Claims divided by premiums. Indicator of whether premiums are calculated correctly to match claims and other expenses. Gross loss ratio (in this presentation) = Sum of total claims (and IBNR reserves), divided by gross written premiums Underwriting year basis = Insurance figures are registered with the calender year in which the insurance policy starts, and to which the covered risks accordingly attach to. Example: a policy with cover period 01.07.06-30.06.07 has underwriting year 2006. Both claims occuring in 2006 and 2007 for risks attaching to this policy are thus attributed to underwriting year 2006. The underwriting year is not closed, so underwriting year figures change as long as there are payments related to policies with this underwriting year. Accident year = Claims are registered with the calendar year in which an accident happens. Claims attaching to the same policy may thus be attributed to different accident years. Example: for the policy with cover period 01.07.06-30.06.07 a claim occuring in 2007 has accident year 2007, but underwriting year 2006. The accident year is not closed, so figures will change as long as there are claims payments related to claims occured in that accident year, e.g. a claim payment made in 2009 for an accident which happened in 2007 will be attributed to accident year 2007. Accounting year (also booking year) = Insurance figures, regardless of their original source date, are booked into that year of account which is open at the time of actually entering the figures in the books. Contrary to the underwriting and accident year, the accounting year is closed at some point in time, usually at the end of one calendar year, such that figures do not change any more once the accounting year is closed. These give the insurance results usually published in companies’ annual reports.
