North, our story

Celebrating over 160 Years of North

Scroll down

North has been focused on enabling the shipowners and operators we insure to trade with confidence.

The North East of England has a rich maritime history, and we’ve been part of that history, right from the creation of the first indemnity association through to establishing a pioneering loss prevention department, providing specialist legal services in-house and completing several mergers and acquisitions.

The growth of North’s business since it first opened its doors in 1860, insuring many of the 260 or so local ship owners who were based on the River Tyne, to today’s global membership, is testament to the service excellence offered by North’s committed team of professional people.

Today we are a diversified global marine insurer, employing over 400 people worldwide.

 

We are North and this is our story.
