The UK P&I Club is one of the oldest P&I Clubs in the world.  It is also one of the largest mutual marine protection and indemnity organisations.

We insure well over 150 million tonnes of owned and chartered ships - nearly one fifth of the world total. The Club is financially strong, its current S&P rating being "A-" with a ‘positive’ outlook. The ships that the UK P&I Club insures come from more than fifty countries.

The size of the UK Club and the corresponding scale of our Managers' operation has permitted the development of specialist skills and expertise to a level of sophistication seldom seen in the P&I field.

What is P&I Insurance?

P&I stands for Protection & Indemnity. P&I is the insurance of third party liabilities and expenses arising from owning ships or operating ships as principals.

This will typically include your exposure to claims for damage or compensation in respect of personal injury to (crew members, stevedores, passengers and others), cargo liabilities, loss of personal effects and property (other than cargo), diversion expenses, collision liabilities, wreck liabilities,  fines and legal costs.

This is not hull insurance, war risk insurance, loss of profit/freight insurance, detention insurance, strike insurance or uninsured legal expenses (Defence) cover.
