FP Marine Risks was established in 1994 and has offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Hong Kong, Taipei, Beijing and London. The company specialises in providing insurance solutions for a wide range of commercial maritime enterprises.
Oceanic was established in 1986 and has offices in Brisbane and Airlie Beach. It works predominantly in the commercial shipping sector, arranging a broad range of hull, liability and marina risks.
The partnership significantly broadens the reach of both companies geographically and operationally.

This is a game-changer for companies in the maritime and logistics industries looking for focused marine insurance assistance.”
