In 2004 Samer Matad Agencies Co. Ltd. - Ulaanbataar has been nominated Cesam's average agent.
 
The history of CESAM goes back to the 16th Century. 
At that time, French Insurers felt the need to meet together to pool information and to share between them the risks underwritten. 
It was thus that was founded the first Committee. Shortly thereafter, Insurances Chambers were set up in Paris, as well as in the principal French ports. 
A royal edict inspired by Colbert founded in Paris in 1668 the Chambre d'Assurances et de Grosse Aventure which, together with the French Committees, are the ancestors of CESAM. 
CESAM, a professional Organisation bringing together over than 90 well known Insurance Companies entitled to carry on marine and transports business in FRANCE, enjoys an uncontested reputation for seriousness and strength.
