Marine insurance, Global Fraud and Drug Smuggling: A loss adjuster’s global adventures

When we think of fraud, we might imagine staged accidents, paint spills on carpets and such like. The marine adjuster thinks globally and considers how trade rules, duty attaching, and global partnerships of organised criminals are made.

The global supply chain is fragile; how can outside influences affect global trade, why does drug smuggling affect this?

Learning objectives:

• How outside influences affect global trade.
• How insurance can affect parts of our lives we don’t even think about.
• How to look at claims in a new light when faced with new problems.
