Satis Services has launched a new scheme, also called Satis, to provide legal representation and insurance for international shippers' and traders' legal costs .

Satis covers disputes occurring during the course of trade and is not limited to disputes relating to an entered vessel or insured ship. Cover is on a fixed premium basis.

The initial limit of cover will be $50,000 (£35,000), but higher limits will be available when legal costs are likely to exceed that level.

A Satis spokesman said: “Our research indicates that a product of this kind is long overdue in the market and there is a strong potential worldwide demand.”

The policy is underwritten at Lloyd's.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
