Paul Littooij started his career as a deck officer on commercial ships doing tramper trades along the European coasts. After that, Paul’s career in insurance began. He joined an insurance company where he had a deep dive in marine underwriting and claims handling, after which he became cargo surveyor in the team of the Dutch Lloyd’s Agents in Rotterdam and Amsterdam. Five years later, Paul had seen too many losses “after the fact” and decided to work with clients to prevent losses from happening at all. Paul joined ACE, later renamed Chubb, about 12 years ago and has been Marine Manager for Benelux since 2011. In addition, he is board member of the Marine Insurance Association Netherlands, member of the Technical Commission Transport of VNAB and regularly runs courses on marine insurance.
