Navacord Further Expands its Specialization with Navis Marine Insurance Brokers

Toronto, ON (May 8, 2024) – Navacord is excited to announce their recent partnership with Navis Marine Insurance Brokers, effective as of May 1. Founded in 2011 after seeking to fill a gap in the BC market for a specialty marine insurance provider, Navis has now grown to be a leading national marine broker based in Vancouver.

As a Lloyd’s coverholder, Navis brings a strong presence in the London market alongside their expertise in insurance solutions for both commercial vessel owners and recreational boaters as well as marina operators, manufacturers, dealers, repairers, cargo transporters, and general personal and commercial lines.

“Navacord’s reputation for service excellence and their desire to grow in the niche sector of marine insurance made them a perfect fit as our partner,” says Paul Mendham, President and CEO, Navis Marine Insurance Brokers. “This collaboration provides us not only a ‘safe harbour’ where we can refine our expertise, but also opens doors to new opportunities for amplified market presence and expansion.”

Leveraging Navis’ deep understanding in meeting the marine industry’s needs for tailored insurance solutions, this partnership reinforces Navacord’s commitment to building out their specialty lines while expanding their geographic presence in BC.

“The addition of Navis to the Navacord group underscores our strategic focus on expanding our speciality lines, and we are pleased to expand our capabilities in the marine sector,” says T. Marshall Sadd, Executive Chairman, Navacord. “They bring a demonstrated track record of delivering innovative solutions with unique products that we look forward to distributing across Canada.”

This marks Navacord’s ninth partnership of 2024.
