Overview

Falvey Insurance Group is a specialty marine and cargo MGA headquartered in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, providing coverage across marine cargo, inland marine, transportation liability, and vessel pollution lines to brokers and clients globally. Founded in 1995, the company operates through four divisions: Falvey Cargo Underwriting, Falvey Shippers Insurance, Safe Harbor Pollution Insurance, and Falvey Insurance Group Wholesale.

The company maintains binding authority through a network of 36 partner carriers accessed via five MGAs. Lines underwritten include marine cargo, inland marine, freight broker liability, motor carrier liability, and vessel pollution coverage. The company consolidated under a unified group brand in January 2023 to present its full range of underwriting expertise, in-house claims handling, and technology capabilities as a single offering to the market.

A distinguishing feature is Falvey Systems, an internal 30-person technology department that develops all software proprietary and in-house. The company was among the early adopters of API-based electronic policy transfer in the insurance industry. Current technology efforts include RPA and AI-assisted automation for underwriting and data analysis, as well as embedded insurance integrations with logistics technology partners.
