About the role
This is a technical interview about underwriting goods in transit, cargo and vessel-related exposures. The panel wants to see how you gather voyage information, interpret loss patterns, set marine terms and recognise when capacity or reinsurance support is needed.
How to prepare
- Review how cargo type, packing, route, conveyance, storage and season affect marine exposure.
- Prepare a case where you changed a rate, deductible or clause after reviewing losses.
- Revise the practical differences between cargo, hull and liability exposures.
- Think through controls for theft, water damage, rough handling and delayed clearance.
- Practise explaining when a risk should be referred for additional capacity or reinsurance.
Common mistakes
- Focusing on cargo value while ignoring packing, route and storage conditions.
- Using clauses by habit without explaining which exposure each one addresses.
- Failing to check authority and capacity before indicating terms.
- Treating repeated losses as a pricing problem without proposing loss controls.
