ILU Asks Speed-Up
In Use Of Electronic
Claims Systems
When arranging coverage for a ship in the London market, insur- ance brokers will soon be able to conduct negotiations with under- writers over a computer. Already, dummy trials are being held, with live electronic placing scheduled to start in April.
The Institute of London Under- writers (ILU), which is pressing its members to speed up the introduc- tion of electronic claims systems, wants to see all claims business com- puterized by the end of the year.
When paperless underwriting systems were first contemplated, many brokers and insurers felt that electronic placement would not be suitable for marine risks because of their size and complexity. But that perception has changed, according to Charles Wilkins, data process- ing manager at the Institute of Lon- don Underwriters, which represents 101 marine and aviation insurers in the company market.
He claims marine risks are not necessarily any more complicated than non-marine risks
The move toward paperless trad- ing systems in the marine insurance markets is progressing parallel to similar initiatives throughout the
London market. The London Net- work Management Committee is coordinating the project in which the Lloyd's Insurance Brokers Com- mittee, Lloyd's of London, the Insti- tute of London Underwriters, and the London Insurance and Reinsur- ance Market Association are par- ticipating. Lloyd's and the company market will all start testing elec- tronic placement systems together next month.
The first phase will enable a bro- ker to prepare a risk package pro- posal on screen, to obtain quotes from underwriters, send a confir- mation of a firm order, and provide a facility for processing endorse- ments to a risk package held in the system.
In the USA A/S Vesta is represented by 4 sister companies who will render full scale sales, service and technical support.
