The Insurance Problem
Marine insurers are being asked to price and manage risk in an environment where weather volatility, port disruption, cargo accumulation, and climate-driven loss patterns are becoming harder to ignore.
Marine insurance buyers already have access to weather information. What they often lack is weather intelligence.
That intelligence needs to be tied directly to the insured voyage, cargo, port, or location; usable inside underwriting and claims workflows; clear enough to support decisions on pricing, terms, and response; and defensible when a loss occurs.
Generic Weather Information
Where it falls short
- Underwriters struggle to differentiate weather-sensitive risks with confidence
- Claims teams spend too long reconstructing conditions after an event
- Insurers carry hidden accumulation exposure in ports, terminals, and warehouses
- Insureds receive warnings, but not always the right ones early enough to act
- Brokers and MGAs need stronger risk insight to differentiate their proposition
OUR SOLUTION
Weather Intelligence for Marine Insurers
Terra Weather provides insurance-relevant weather intelligence that helps marine market participants move from raw weather information to better commercial decisions.
The decisions that matter
Underwriting
Should we write this risk? What terms or pricing does it justify?
Loss prevention
What action should the insured take now?
Claims
Was weather a material driver of this loss?
Exposure
Where are our concentrations most exposed today?
What Terra Weather Delivers
Insurance intelligence for underwriting, claims, loss prevention, and exposure management.
Underwriting Intelligence
Help underwriters assess weather-sensitive risk more accurately before binding.
- Route-specific weather exposure
- Storm, wind, wave, rainfall, and flooding risk
- Port disruption and weather-related delay potential
- Terminal and warehouse weather vulnerability
- Historical weather analysis and hindcast for risk review
- Location-specific intelligence for cargo, stock throughput, and project movements
Claims Support & Weather Forensics
Establish what happened, where, and under what conditions when a marine claim occurs.
- Historical weather reconstruction
- Route and position-based hindcast analysis
- Event timelines and weather impact summaries
- Claims-ready reporting to support assessment and causation review
Loss Prevention & Risk Monitoring
The best weather-related claim is the one avoided.
- Live route and site-specific forecast monitoring
- Alerts for severe weather and operationally significant conditions
- Early warning around port, storage, and transit risk
- Decision support that helps insureds act before conditions deteriorate
Accumulation & Portfolio Visibility
Improve visibility where silent risk can build quickly.
- Weather-sensitive cargo accumulations
- Coastal and flood-prone storage exposures
- Event-driven aggregation hotspots
- Portfolio concentrations during major weather events
Designed for the teams accountable for underwriting performance, claims outcomes, and portfolio resilience.
Who It Supports
Insurance teams and market participants
- Marine underwriters gain better visibility into route, storage, and weather-sensitive exposures before risk acceptance
