[RBS] TSHUVA: cargo ship sank off of Ashdod at 11 am. this morning

[Neil Kummer]

I apologize if I have somehow offended by my half serious remark
that a cargo ship sinking is an indicator of the importance of buying marine
insurance for your shipment.

In fact, this is an extremely rare event-the first time in my 32 years
in this business that it has happened to an Israel bound cargo vessel.

Ships have hit land.  Containers have been thrown overboard, dropped,
and punctured by cranes.   Shipments have gone up in flames.  But these
represent a tiny fraction of the claims.

Most claims are from far less dramatic causes-drops, scratches, water-damage,
loss, breakage..



Thanks,
Neil Kummer
