Den Hartigh Adviesgroep proudly announces the appointment of Ferdinand Bakker as Marine/Exchange Manager. His arrival further strengthens and expands the previously initiated course of specialization in the maritime sector.
Insurance with expertise
The (inter)national world of Exchange, Marine and Transport faces unique challenges and risks. Whether it concerns shipping, logistics, transport over water, related professional activities or recreational water sports: each segment requires customization. With Den Hartigh Marine (MGA), the office offers specialized insurance solutions that fully align with this dynamic sector, supported by committed, stable and A-rated capacity.
From hull, cargo transport and liability insurance to risk management: clients can count on expertise, short lines of communication and the personal approach that is characteristic of Den Hartigh Adviesgroep. In line with this, Den Hartigh Marine invites organizations in the maritime and/or logistics sector to have a non-binding continuity check carried out. This clearly identifies risks, policy conditions and possible areas for improvement, so that customers can be sure that their insurance package is future-proof.

"I look forward to further strengthening our position in the market together with the Den Hartigh Adviesgroep team," says Ferdinand Bakker. "The maritime sector requires partners who understand risks and offer tailor-made solutions. I want to fulfill that role with full conviction."
