Officers from Nato are to hear from the Lloyd’s Market Association (LMA) as part of a three-day anti-piracy workshop in Germany.
Neil Smith, the LMA’s head of underwriting has been invited to offer Nato officers an insight into the London insurance market’s perspective on piracy and explain how the market handles this risk.
Mr Smith said:
“Nato is keen to get a broader, non-military perspective on piracy. They particularly want to understand its impact on insurers, both operational and financial.
“The LMA believes this is a very positive initiative and I’m delighted to have been asked to talk to these officers.”
EU NAVFOR is the European Union’s naval force combating piracy in the waters off Somalia. Nato personnel make up a major part of the force.
The anti-piracy workshop takes place at the Nato School in Oberammergau, Germany from 21-23 February.
The NATO School at Oberammergau (NSO) conducts education and individual training in support of current and developing Nato operations, strategy, policy, doctrine and procedures.
