Features: The International Marine Insurance Association (IMIA) is very pleased to recommend this set of "Engineering Insurance" to our readers. The book covers a wide range of topics comprehensively, helping readers familiarize themselves with and gain an in-depth understanding of engineering insurance knowledge. This will enable China's engineering insurance market to meet challenges and develop into a market with international reputation. At the same time, the book will also lay a solid foundation for the development of China's engineering insurance based on technical capabilities and underwriting standards. It is foreseeable that this book will be widely used in China's engineering insurance market.

In the field of engineering construction, recommending a risk management system that aligns with the market economy is a major issue in the reform and development of China's construction industry. The engineering insurance system will play an irreplaceable role in the construction management system of our country, especially in the development of the market security system. I am very pleased to recommend Mr. Wang He's "Engineering Insurance" to our readers, and I believe it will positively promote the improvement of China's engineering risk management level.

How to properly handle the relationship between insurance, engineering, management, technology, theory, and practice has long puzzled the operators and theoretical researchers of engineering insurance. Solving such a difficult problem requires not only a multidisciplinary professional knowledge background but also rich practical work experience. The publication of "Engineering Insurance" has provided us with the possibility to make efforts in this direction. The book integrates engineering construction, risk management, and insurance operations, offering a broad perspective and unique analysis, revealing many unresolved issues that people want to solve but haven't. It is highly practical. I believe readers will benefit from it, gaining insights and enhancing their ability to solve engineering insurance challenges.
