We are delighted to welcome ALSUM – the Asociación Latinoamericana de Suscriptores Marítimos – as our 43rd member association. Covering the Latin American insurance markets, the addition of ALSUM fills an extremely important gap in our membership network.
Until ALSUM became a full member, the association had been working alongside us as an IUMI affiliate. During that time, our relationship had deepened and intensified and, happily, that has now led to ALSUM becoming a full “ordinary member”.
ALSUM’s secretariat is based in Bogata, Colombia and it operates as a non-profit organisation providing information, training, accredited exams and discussion platforms for the marine insurance community in Latin America. ALSUM’s services also extend to insurance and reinsurance brokers, adjusters, risk managers, lawyers, logistics operators and all professionals interested in the cargo transportation and logistics industry and its insurance. ALSUM works tirelessly to raise underwriting standards in marine and cargo insurance throughout the region by sharing knowledge (information, discussion and education) and referencing the professional practices of the most advanced markets worldwide – all within the context of Latin America. More information can be found here: Inicio – English | ALSUM.
In recent years, the Latin American marine insurance sector has become increasingly more important both by way of premium income and also through exciting market developments that have generated interest from many other insurance markets.
IUMI is proud to list ALSUM as a member and we look forward to strengthening our relationship and working alongside ALSUM members on a range of topics.
