As part of this enhanced partnership, Pelagic will offer MIA members access to an Insurance Services Portal. This platform will provide a range of risk management tools, resources, and discounted services tailored to the unique needs of marina operators. Such initiatives aim to assist marinas in effectively managing risks and improving operational resilience.
Ian Carr, Chairman of Pelagic Risk Services, highlighted the significance of this collaboration: "The MIA provides incredible support to its members, helping them to run better businesses, and we are very proud to be associated with them. What they do for their size is remarkable."
Pelagic's team comprises professionals with deep understanding of boats and marinas, enabling them to assess risk profiles accurately and advocate for optimal insurance outcomes with underwriters. This expertise ensures that marina clients receive tailored coverage that addresses their specific operational risks.
For marina operators, this strengthened partnership offers valuable resources to navigate the complexities of marine insurance. Access to specialised risk management tools and expert advice can lead to more informed decisions, potentially resulting in better coverage and cost efficiencies.
In an industry where managing risks is paramount, collaborations like this between insurance providers and industry associations play a crucial role. They not only offer financial support but also contribute to the overall sustainability and growth of the marina sector in Australia.
