Our good friends and fellow-correspondents Chadwick, Weir Navigacion S.A. of Montevideo celebrated their 100th anniversary of foundation at the auspicious British Ambassador’s Residence in the Uruguayan capital on 12 September 2018.
Chadwick Weir was established as a shipping agency in the port of Montevideo by a small group of British shipowners in 1918 to provide services to the vessels trading between Great Britain and the ports of the River Plate in the southern East Coast of South America. As from 1959, the company has been appointed as Correspondents by most of the P&I Clubs of the United Kingdom and Scandinavia and since 1999 it has discontinued its activities as shipping agents and surveyors to exclusively focus in the representation of P&I Clubs. Today, Chadwick Weir acts as dedicated Correspondents for all the International Group P&I Clubs and a number of Hull and Machinery underwriters and other marine insurance providers.
In 2001, Chadwick Weir joined other long-standing P&I Correspondents in South America, including Proinde, to found SAPIC (South American Protection and Indemnity Correspondents Association). Since then, the company’s Managing Director, Captain Alejandro Laborde, has spotlessly held the position of SAPIC’s spokesperson. The majority of SAPIC members were present to honour Chadwick Weir’s impressive milestone.

We congratulate Chadwick Weir and its staff and wish continued success for the next century ahead!
