George Devereese, Product Management Director: S&P Global Market Intelligence: Shining light on dark shipping activity (326)


Listen Later

How do you shed light on ‘dark shipping activity’?

S&P Global Market Intelligence aims to support insurers throughout the entire insurance value chain by providing critical data and insights.

Matthew Grant is joined by George Devereese, who monitors and tracks shipping around the world to screen them against various forms of liabilities. This data is passed onto markets such as the insurance world, to build a better and fuller picture for the insurance contract. 

A key aspect of this process involves identifying and understanding the risks associated with illicit or ‘dark’ shipping activities.

Key talking points include:

  • How are the analytics provided helping insurers?
  • Why all navigation is a timestamp.
  • What is AIS and how can it help an insurer understand a ship’s history?
  • Understanding a ship’s risk - from tracking to insurance contracts
  • Driving frigates and hunting pirates - George’s time in the Navy
  • On becoming ‘dark’ - are there exemptions to turning off AIS?
  • Collaborating with Concirrus 
  • Cross pollination of data - understanding a bigger and better picture for underwriting risk
  • New launches in S&P Global Market Intelligence’s portal looking ahead to the future
  • If you like what you’re hearing, please leave us a review on whichever platform you use or contact Matthew Grant on LinkedIn.
