Lower benefit payments are ultimately what motivate the insurers.The federal government believed that there would be a significant decline in claims, thus the marine industry has been paying claims at greatly inflated rates for decades. Transportation corporations receive a regular supply of private insurance money thanks to these agreements, even though the terms of their exchange can be viewed as a form of corporate welfare. These days, bids are submitted at the federal government-set shipping rates by insurance underwriters in the US, Canada, and Australia. For years or perhaps decades, a considerable number of ships owned by shipping corporations were covered by government insurance policies; in certain cases, the cost of the insurance was deducted from shipping profits.
