CPYB Webinar: Marine Insurance in 2023 (Building a strong partnership between vessel dealers/brokerages and marine insurance providers to keep your closings on track)

Host: NYBA

Zoom

Over the past several years, vessel brokerages have seen a great increase in the number of first time buyers of larger vessels and/or owners wanting to purchase large vessels (over 10’ jumps in length) without requisite experience- and this has led to a great number of vessel sales transactions falling apart in the closing stages due to the purchaser not being able to procure insurance coverage. The goal of the presentation is to better equip vessel dealerships/brokerages to manage such situations, and better utilize their resources.
