Ardonagh-owned managing general agent Geo Underwriting has agreed a capacity deal with Intact Insurance that will see the carrier support its marine trade offering from 1st May. Geo acquired pleasure craft specialist Navigators and General in 2024 and said it would continue to operate under its own brand.

Kate Bush, trading director at Geo Underwriting, said: “Intact already operates successfully within this highly specialised insurance market and the team’s clear insight into Geo’s underwriting requirements and commitment to fully supporting the development of our proposition gives us the autonomy required to continue to deliver the unique attributes that underpin Geo’s value to brokers; namely our own wordings, our defined underwriting appetite and our specialist claims propositions.”

Steve Hedge, vice president delegated authority, marine, at Intact Insurance, added: “ Geo’s established expertise in marine trade, combined with our long-term approach to risk and capacity, creates a strong platform to navigate market cycles while continuing to meet the needs of clients operating in complex commercial maritime environments.”
