Sunderland Marine 140th anniversary prize giveaway

Win £140 to celebrate 140 years of support from Sunderland Marine for the fishing industry!

Three lucky Fishing News readers are set to win £140 in Amazon vouchers as part of Sunderland Marine’s anniversary celebrations.

As a leading expert in fixed-premium marine insurance for fishing vessels, Sunderland Marine can draw on unparalleled experience in the fishing industry: founded in 1882, the company is celebrating its 140th anniversary this month.

“With this experience comes an in-depth knowledge of the sector and the challenges it faces, along with a deep appreciation for the men and women who work tirelessly to deliver an essential foodstuff to communities worldwide,” wrote director Craig McBurnie in Fishing News earlier this year.

“As much as Sunderland Marine is part of the fishing community, fishing is in the company’s DNA. We will therefore continue to do our utmost to drive safety standards on fishing vessels and guide the industry towards a more sustainable and prosperous future.”

To this day, fishing companies comprise the largest part of Sunderland Marine’s client base, with one result being its strong advocacy for the safety and training of crews as a key investment in the continuing success of the industry.

Sunderland Marine provides market-leading fixed premium marine insurance products. Established in 1882 in Sunderland, the company is now based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne following its 2014 merger with global marine mutual insurer North P&I.

The merger formed the North Group, which now underwrites its owners’ fixed premium, fishing, coastal and other specialist vessels insurance and aquaculture products under the Sunderland Marine brand name.
