“Ships move,” one risk manager laconically said. “That makes them particularly susceptible to spoofing — bad actors falsifying a vessel’s position … That could cause a collision. We were seeking a gap policy to cover that type of peril, but most cyber coverage is concerned with data breaches. We realized that we were in effect self-insuring that exposure.

“We went to all of our brokers,” the risk manager continued, “and Jake Byrne was the only one who was able to secure the coverage. He listened to what we actually needed and was able to think originally. He went to the surety market and found a standard policy. He was able to find the perfect policy, because he knew what he was looking for.”

Another client made the switch to the global marine practice of Lockton Companies “from another insurance brokerage after meeting with Jake and his team,” said the chief financial officer of one heavy industrial company with a complex set of exposures.

“Jake was able to listen closely to our needs and concerns and provide us with a very competitive, company-wide insurance package as well as provide us with the knowledge of each component of the policy.

“In addition, he provided us with information about additional insurance packages that we could consider as part of our risk management program. Jake made the transition to Lockton seamless and effortless. He continues to provide us with prompt and excellent customer service.”
