P & I Correspondents

P & I (Protection & Indemnity) Clubs offer the ship owner a range of services that include but are not limited to claims, loss prevention and training, personnel injury, collision, damage to fixed and floating objects and underwriting.

These Clubs are unique in that they are a mutual association whereby all members bear the risk. A new entrant therefore (be it ship or ship owner) must meet the exacting requirements of the Club.
