For warehouse-to-warehouse protection, Alexander & Alexander starts paying attention long before the containers come aboard. We watch through the truck driver's rearview mirror. We track progress with the trainman's timetable. From inland depot to dock, from deck to destination.

It's not the way you're used to seeing ships. Unless, of course, you are one of the shippers on A&A's client manifest.

Risk management

But these insider vantage points give A&A the best view of the risks that beset containers, cargoes and vessels. They form a frame of refer- ence that helps us design programs to minimize losses and to compen- sate for those that do occur. They enable our specialists to simplify the complexities of marine insur- ance—barges to bumbershoots, crews to claims, charters to captives, rigs to rivers, property to price.

Every business is unique. Each has different needs. For insurance, for risk management, for human resources management, for finan- cial services. That's why A&A works from a client's point of view. Only by working as partners, by solving business problems together, can we be sure a company gets the most comprehensive, cost-efficient pro- grams possible.

We think our dedication to forming a close alliance with our clients is a big reason A&A has be- come one of the biggest and most trusted insurance brokers world- wide. Each of our 120 offices here and overseas has the facilities, expertise and strength to meet the needs of any company, large or small, in any industry. Because we work the same way with every client
