As marine insurer WARTA accounts for almost 90 per cent of the Polish marine market. Insurances of major Polish ship owning and ship operating companies as well as major Polish shipyards and offshore energy companies are also placed with WARTA.

Of all insurance companies operating on the Polish market WARTA is best equipped to provide top quality marine insurance since marine risks have been of greatest importance in WARTA portfolio for the past five decades. We are able to maintain our position of the market leader thanks to our highly specialized staff, many of who have more than 20 years of combined domestic and international experience.

Marine units are unique structures on the Polish market - we have over 40 members of staff devoted entirely to Hull and Machinery, Protection and Indemnity risks and Reinsurance with insurance and claims departments providing professional in-house claims handling.

The offices of WARTA dedicated to marine insurance (supervised by the Head Office in Warsaw) are located in Gdynia and Szczecin, in the immediate vicinity of the top Polish ports and shipyards. We are therefore very close to our domestic clients - shipbuilding and shiprepair yards, shipowning and shipoperating companies, offshore energy companies, research and academic entities possessing their own vessels, fishing vessel owners, yacht owners. Many of these clients have continued to support us over long periods of time.

WARTA Insurance and Reinsurance Co. S.A. have recently undergone an internal restructuring in order to be better suited to service its clients across Poland and abroad. WARTA continues to be one of the largest private Polish insurance companies with 100% of shares owned by KBC Holding NV and its subsidiary companies.

The Marine Bureaux are directly supervised by the Key Clients & Brokers Co-operation Dept. which highlights continuity and the strong position of marine insurances within the structure of the Company.

In the era of globalization of the world economy and at the stage when Polish economy is tightly connected with Europe and the world, the existence of the specialized marine units at WARTA's marine insurance centres is a proof of our adjustment to the requirements of the worldwide insurance market.
