Harlock Murray Underwriting Ltd. is an experienced marine underwriting agency representing insurers and reinsurers in Canada, the United States of America, and the United Kingdom. Harlock negotiates only with licensed brokers/agents who act on behalf of insureds.

The company, originally named Harlock Williams Lemon, was founded in 1976 and, by the mid-eighties, had grown and developed substantially. More importantly, the firm became well established and respected in the maritime community, having thrived as an independent business much longer than many of its competitors. In 1989, HWL was acquired by The Sovereign General Insurance Company. In January 2001, Salvus Bain (Management) Ltd. became a 50% partner with The Sovereign, adding experienced underwriting and claims personnel to the existing long service staff.

In September 2003, the company entered a new chapter in its life when it purchased another Vancouver-based managing general agent, Murray Underwriting Limited, and changed its name to Harlock Murray Underwriting Ltd. The markets and staff of Murray Underwriting complement those of Harlock very well, and Harlock Murray is able to utilize the combined strengths of the two companies to enhance service to the Marine Insurance in North America.

The goal of Harlock Murray Underwriting is to offer the most innovative and effective insurance programs available. Classes written include Commercial Hull and Machinery, Commercial Protection and Indemnity, Pleasure Craft Hull and Protection and Indemnity, Primary Liabilities, and Excess Liabilities.
