History

The Nordic Association of Marine Insurers (Cefor) was founded 15 August 1911 under the name of Sjøassurandørernes Centralforening (CEFOR - the Central Union of Marine Underwriters) by Norwegian and foreign insurance companies.

On 5 March 2009 the Annual General Meeting adopted a new name to reflect the pan-Nordic members of the association: The Nordic Association of Marine Insurers (Cefor).

In celebration of its centennial anniversary in 2011, Cefor published a book reflecting on the development of shipping, marine insurance and Cefor over the past 100 years, shaping Cefor into the Nordic association it is today.
