How Ocean Ledger Empowers Underwriters & Cat Risk Modellers


Cat Risk Modellers

Create a Storm Surge Model

  • Leverage an up-to-date Digital Elevation Model
  • Ensure precise elevation for bathymetry, coastal vegetation
  • Update monthly and post-event (e.g Hurricane)

Post-Calibrate Other Vendor Storm Surge Model Output

  • Validate RMS, Verisk, and other vendor model storm surge output
  • Overlay historical erosion hotspots to sense check
  • Adjust materiality threshold


Property, Port, & Construction Underwriters


Underwrite highly exposed coastal zones with confidence:

  • Aggregate and property-level risk index for storm surge vulnerability
  • Historical geomorphic & correlated weather trend analysis & anomaly detection
  • Quarterly audit report for surveillance ahead of renewal
  • Rapid damage assessment post-event trigger

Product Line Integration

Property and Casualty / Real Estate

  • Coastal vulnerability baseline & portfolio & asset-level risk assessment
  • Shoreline change forecast (erosion & accretion)
  • Climate-scenarios for flood-risk, taking into account underwater topography, shoreline & natural defense 

Construction / W&I / M&A

  • Coastal vulnerability baseline & asset-level risk assessment
  • Business interruption modeling
  • Stress testing of W&I statements

Aviation - Airport / Logistics

  • Coastal vulnerability baseline & risk assessment
  • Business interruption modeling

Port Authorities and Marine Terminals

  • Coastal vulnerability assessment, specifically shoreline & underwater topography change (i.e ship navigation route blockage) 
  • Business interruption modelling
  • Denial of Access
