2019 marks the 150th anniversary of the foundation of the UK P&I Club. Since 1869, the UK Club has been supporting Members in managing risk, preventing loss and enhancing safety at sea.
The Club came into being at a time of major technological change – the introduction of steam. The new steam-driven ships produced a greater risk of liability claims. Since no other insurance was available, small numbers of shipowners got together to form mutual protection associations, among them The United Kingdom Mutual Steam Ship Assurance Association, which opened an office at Cushion Court, Old Broad Street.
The Thomas Miller (Americas) Inc, Play for Pink Golf Day took place this week at the Forsgate Country Club in New Jersey and raised a record $250,000, making a total of just under $750k in the four years of the event.
The UK P&I Club, a leading provider of P&I insurance and other services to the international shipping community, has appointed Tom Starr as a Senior Claims Executive, who will be based in the Thomas Miller London offices.
