From Baird Maritime:
Published to mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of service of Associated Marine Insurers, the first and still only Australian marine insurer, this brief book makes an interesting and useful contribution to Australia's maritime history.
Associated Marine has made a notable contribution to Australia's balance of trade in invisibles. It has also contributed to maritime education and to changes in the taxation of insurance contracts.
A pioneering and high achieving company, its relatively short life has certainly been marked by some major changes to Australia's maritime industry. It is an industry that has not generally been a generator of positive news in the company's lifetime. Associated Marine's experience has been a welcome and refreshing change from the gloom and doom prevalent in the industry
