This is the heart and soul of what AHHIC does. Integrity and transparency are the cornerstones of our operation as a leading marine insurer.
AHHIC’s Claims Department maintains a continuous dialogue with its client, always seeking solutions rather than exclusions. Our pragmatic approach leads to swift and prompt settlement of all valid claims, and we are proud of having one of the speediest claim processing in the market.
