OUR TEAM

45 years of experience.

Vanessa van Hoeflaken and Friso van Drooge combine 45 years of experience in P&I. Both had leading roles on respectively the underwriting- and claims side. They have been involved in every aspect of the business, for all types of maritime contractors, all over the world. They are accessible-, flexible and professional.

During their years working in the shipping industry, they learned that many marine operators are ambiguous about insurance – It is a potentially vital part of their operation, but not something they would like to think too much about. Insurance has to be well arranged and maintained, be part of a solution in case something happens and not be part of their next problem.

Our team

Friso has been fascinated by shipping since his childhood. Graduating in maritime law was the logical step to combine legal studies with his interest in the marine industry. Having started his career in a Rotterdam shipping lawfirm he was caught by the attraction of P&I insurance. Handling P&I and Defence claims proved to offer unlimited access to the dynamics of worldwide shipping in virtually every jurisdiction on earth.

25 years in the industry offer a wealth of experience in every possible scenario. Friso feels comfortable in a role as counsel to clients on liability issues. When claims arise, he will be available to coordinate with clients and insurers. Friso emphasizes the importance of having grip on claims by taking an active role and to never lose sight of practical solutions.

Vanessa originally got involved in marine insurance on the underwriting side. Initially being responsible for account management she developed a profound understanding of marine insurance, policy of terms and conditions as well as the importance of administrative excellence. Moving onward to commercial roles, she expanded her experience to understand the insurance needs of every type of marine operation.

Vanessa takes satisfaction in translating the clients’ operational reality into a seamless insurance coverage with the right suppliers. Vanessa underlines the importance of effective communication in achieving optimal results. She equally enjoys being a first point of contact for off-hand advice on day to day insurance queries as much as making a profound analysis of a fleet insurance or a contractual matrix.
