Windward, a world leader in maritime analytics, announced today it has extended its relationship with the Gard group, a leading marine and P&I insurer, to deliver a wider set of behavioural analytics  – enabling them to streamline their sanctions compliance processes.

Nick Maddalena, Head of Insurance Business at Windward said “We are delighted to be working more closely with Gard. They are a market leader in the field of marine insurance, and their approach to the use of analytics and AI is key to both the development of their business and its protection in a changing regulatory environment.”

Lars Lislegard-Bækken, Chief Legal Counsel at Gard commented “We have been working with Windward for around 18 months and have had the opportunity to get a good understanding of what their domain expertise and data could deliver for different areas of the group. Issues such as the OFAC advisories published in 2019 are gamechangers for our compliance requirements, and services that can increase both quality and efficiency in our sanctions compliance operations are very valuable.”
