Program Highlights

Protection & Indemnity (P&I) Insurance is a specialized line of business that has developed over the last 200 years. This is in response to the needs of shipowners and charterers, for insurance protection against risks that are not recoverable under the standard Hull and Machinery Insurance policies. In the course of their operations, a shipowner or charterer can incur liabilities towards many different third parties – liabilities for injury and death to crew members, passengers, shore workers, miscellaneous legal liabilities owed to cargo interests, other vessels, port operators and authorities, etc.

Through classroom lectures and case discussions, this one-day intensive program aims at providing insurance and shipping industry practitioners with a firm understanding of P&I Insurance, from its historical beginnings; the concept of mutuality; the structure of the P&I Clubs; the scope of coverage; the rating factors; as well as the claims considerations and procedures.
