Welcome to the Maritime Home Page of Steve Harris. Within this site I have put together some pictures and facts about the commercial maritime world, within which I have worked for nearly 30 years. Based in the United Kingdom, I am currently a Senior Vice President of the Marine Division of the world's largest insurance broker, after having spent nearly 20 years as a marine underwriter at Lloyd's and in the London company market. Three times a year, we run marine insurance courses in Norwich (and recently in Singapore) covering the way the shipping world operates today, their vessels and insurance issues. Delegates include staff of shipowners, port authorities, financiers, underwriters, P&I clubs and brokers. CLICK HERE to see the recent course photos. The world's press and other media often delight in making the maritime industry out to be full of rogues and villains. The reality is that the vast majority of those involved in shipping are highly professional, having to work in a very dangerous industry, where seamen risk their lives daily, battling against both natural elements and human failings. Maritime vessels (large and small) have dominated my working life, and by clicking on one of the portholes below, you may learn something about the industry and its problems Pictures and links to the maritime world that seems to take up so much of my life. To navigate around this site, please click on any of the portholes below that take your interest
