Canadian Board of Marine Underwriters (CBMU)Founded in 1917 and having recently celebrated its 100th anniversary, the CBMU is one of Canada’s oldest associations. For over a century, the CBMU has played an integral role in representing the interests of the marine insurance industry in Canada. Its close relationship with the Federal Government, particularly Transport Canada, and with the Canadian Maritime Law Association, allows CBMU to focus on marine trade policy and comment directly on proposed changes to legislation affecting the marine industry.

CBMU and IUMIThe CBMU has shared a long and cherished history of working with IUMI. Canada and the CBMU are proud that past CBMU President, Maurice Jaques, was the first member from North America to serve as IUMI President in 1988, and set the stage for other CBMU leaders to serve on the IUMI Executive. Participation on IUMI Technical Committees has also been a long-standing commitment that the CBMU has made to the international maritime community and one it takes very seriously. The CBMU currently has two members sitting as Vice Chairs of the Cargo and Loss Prevention Committees. The CBMU and Canada have a great deal to offer on the global stage, and are dedicated to the continued success of IUMI and the marine insurance industry worldwide.
