Galatea becomes Travelers Underwriting Agency

Specialist marine underwriting agency Galatea has rebranded as the Travelers Underwriting Agency.

The move follows Galatea’s acquisition by Travelers in 2007.

Galatea specialises in providing marine liability insurance for companies and individuals who service the shipping, logistics and offshore oil and gas industries.

Mark Clifford, manager – ports and terminals and marine professionals & logistics for Travelers, said: “Over the last two years we have successfully integrated Galatea into the Travelers group and the rebranding under the Travelers umbrella is the culmination of this effort. This allows us to offer a seamless logistics, professional indemnity and ports product to our customers though our Lloyd’s brokers and worldwide agency network.”

“Galatea’s capabilities and expertise are highly regarded among the marine community. Our aim is to keep the positive attributes that Galatea is renowned for while signalling clearly that the business is benefitting from its place in the Travelers group.”
