The London P&I Club

The London P&I Club is a mutual insurance association that provides protection and indemnity insurance to shipowners and operators. This means it helps cover the costs of legal liabilities and damages that may arise from operating ships, such as injury to crew members, environmental pollution, or damage to cargo. Established in 1866, it operates on a mutual basis, meaning the members are also the owners of the club. They share the risks and costs, making it a cooperative approach to maritime insurance, ensuring that members are supported in times of need while promoting safe and responsible shipping practices.
