24 April 1992
EFICA founded in 1992 by Barry Gristwood, CEO of Sunderland Marine, is formed by executives of various European fishing vessel insurance companies whose main goal is exchange information on markets, trends, claims and loss prevention. Starting with a very ambitious agenda, the original goals and tasks have since then evolved to more pragmatic definitions of cooperation. Today there is a broad consensus between the members about a range of short and long-term goals and tasks.
