The Greek company Kalimbassieris Maritime (KM) is now part of our subsidiary VAI. The partnership strengthens its position as a market leader in the industry and expands VAI's presence in the Suez Canal region, which is extremely important for global transport.
KM is an international consulting and insurance service provider that offers claims management, expert reports, and IT services for maritime transport and marine insurance in Greece, Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria, and Egypt. Their main clients are international providers of cargo insurance and marine hull insurance. Additionally, Kalimbassieris handles insurance claims for yachts and offers local cargo insurance.
Our colleague Piet Middelkoop, CEO of Van Ameyde, summarizes it as follows: „Both companies expect more than ‚business as usual‘ from this cooperation. With this commitment, we can take the service portfolio, reach, and quality of service for our customers, as well as Kalimbassieris“, to a new level." The integration opens up a strong presence in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Black Sea, and Kalimbassieris gains access to the VAI service platforms with their innovative technologies to promote the digital transformation of their own product portfolio.
That's what we call a classic win-win situation! Congratulations, VAI and KM!
