Amãna Takaful (ATL) paid full reparation for a fishing trawler that collided with a ship off the coast of Kaduwella recently. The cheque was received by the owner W.S.S. Prasanna in the presence of Fazal Ghaffoor – CEO, ATL.

Speaking at the occasion, the recipient Prasanna had this to say: “Soon after the accident our initial response was to call ATL and inform the agents of the damage to the fishing vessel. Then the assessors came for an inspection and all the necessary documents were submitted for processing. Within three days I received a call from the Manager of the ATL Hambantota Branch, saying that after careful evaluation of the damage, a substantial claim settlement has been finalised as compensation for the incident.”

He continued: “The speed, professionalism and efficiency demonstrated by ATL were truly exceptional. I received the claim within 10 days. I honestly encourage all my fellow fishing community members to go ahead and subscribe to a ‘Samudra Shakthi’ insurance scheme with ATL without any hesitation. Now we finally have an insurance company that feels for us, and we could rely on 100%.”
