Our Services
Cover every risk. Miss nothing.
Personal, commercial, or specialty — we compare the market so you don't have to. One broker, every policy, zero gaps.
Independent advice
OceanMind represents
the client, not the insurer.
Tied agents distribute a single insurer's products. OceanMind negotiates placement across a panel of domestic and international insurers, selecting cover on merit rather than on agency relationships.
Multiple insurers on panel across short-term and specialty lines
Conflicts of interest identified, managed, and disclosed in writing
Named advisor accountable for each engagement
Annual review of programme structure, wordings, and pricing
The OceanMind approach
Considered advice, calmly delivered.
Advisory relationships built to last the life of the programme — not a single transaction.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Direct channels present one insurer's terms on one product. A broker assesses your risk profile, negotiates placement across multiple insurers, and manages the relationship over the life of the programme — including renewals, mid-term changes, and claims. Our fee is paid by the insurer on placement.
Full transparency: we earn a commission from the insurer, a flat advisory fee, or a combination — agreed with you before we start. We'll never push a policy because it pays us more.
We aim to come back to you within 1 business day. Commercial and complex placements may take longer while we properly shop the market — we'd rather take an extra day or two than give you the first quote we find.
You call us. That's it. Your advisor and our in-house claims team handle everything — paperwork, insurer calls, follow-ups, settlement. You focus on getting back to normal.
Yes, and it's painless. We review your current cover, find any gaps or overpayments, and transition everything at your next renewal. No disruption, no double-paying.
