We are a group of like minded people that see the value of a dedicated marine cargo insurance conference open to all practitioners in our industry.

Whilst the committee members are largely based in the UK this is an International Conference and to date we have received interest and support from marine cargo practitioners in over 30 countries on all Continents. We want this to be a truly international conference and that means holding events in relevant locations throughout Europe.  Please assist us and spread the word.

We are forging links with groups representing other conferences, educational and professional organisations and are particularly interested in the development of young people as the future of our industry.

​Between them the organising and contents committees consist of a cross section of marine insurance disciplines. The full details of the people involved in ICIC are on this page.
