MOBILE, Ala. – The American Equity Underwriters, Inc. (AEU), the leading provider of workers’ compensation insurance for waterfront employers, has appointed 12 maritime industry leaders to its 2026 Loss Control Advisory Council.
The AEU Loss Control Advisory Council brings together experienced safety leaders from across the maritime industry to advise on operational risk, incident prevention, and the unique safety challenges facing waterfront employers. By bringing front line perspective and day to day operational safety experience to the table, Council members help inform AEU’s ongoing approach to loss control, ensuring its safety resources and guidance stay aligned with real work that happens in the maritime industry every day.
"The right safety decisions are rarely made from a distance," said Jason Lake, Senior Vice President, Director of Loss Control at AEU. "This council gives us direct access to people who know where pressure is building, have hands-on experience, and know that one missed detail can become a serious incident. That perspective helps us refine our guidance and stay focused on the issues that protect workers."
