Base Marine Insurance Portal

Base Marine Insurance Portal is fully and seamlessly integrated to KENTRADE’s Single Window System

Kenyan insurance law now requires all imports to the country be locally insured and insurers process their marine insurance certificates through online portals. A prerequisite to this online portal, is an integration to the government’s KENTRADE Single Window System, from which various government agencies can access the details electronically. This according to KENTRADE helps reduce delays and costs “while maintaining the requisite controls and collection of duties and taxes, where applicable, on goods imported or exported.”

The Base Marine Insurance Portal provides comprehensive, end-to-end Marine Insurance processing from quotation to underwriting to purchase of cover. The cloud-based system enables insurers to offer best-in-class direct online sales and servicing to their marine insurance customers and intermediaries. The portal is fully integrated to the Kentrade system linking the insurer’s core system seamlessly and securely with Kentrade Single Window System.
