    Markel Insurance Finalizes Acquisition of MECO Group

    Markel Insurance has completed its acquisition of The MECO Group Limited (MECO), a specialist marine managing general agent, following necessary regulatory approvals. Founded in 1974 as Michael Else and Company Ltd., MECO has developed a reputation for underwriting expertise and client service in the marine insurance sector over more than 50 years.

    MECO operates under three core brands: The Charterers P&I Club, Transmarine, and Aurora P&I, offering specialized solutions for various marine insurance needs. The company also provides complementary legal services through its affiliated law firm, True North. MECO’s underwriting services cover a range of marine risks, including charterers P&I, freight, defense and demurrage, trade disruption, loss of hire, strikes delay, small vessel owners’ P&I, and contractual extension liabilities.
