UK P&I Club
The United Kingdom Mutual Steam Ship Assurance
Association (Bermuda) Limited is generally known as the UK P&I Club. As a
mutual association, the UK Club has no outside shareholders and no financial
links with other organisations. Since its establishment in 1869, the Club has
existed solely for the benefit of its members. Its structure as a mutual
insurance association enables it to respond to the changing needs of its
assureds and allows it to provide superior service, attention and coverage.
The UK P&I Club is directed by the members.
Overall control lies with the directors, elected by the members from amongst
themselves. The directors normally meet four times a year to formulate policy
on calls, the scope of cover, finance, underwriting and claims matters,
reinsurance and issues affecting the P&I world. They resolve specific
claims which may not fall clearly within the cover.
Thomas Miller, the Club's managers, is organised to
respond promptly to requests for assistance and to provide informed advice and
help with members' claims. Individual support goes far beyond that normally
provided by a commercial insurer.
The UK Club's size and the scale of the managers'
operations has enabled the latter to develop specialist skills and expertise
seldom seen in marine P&I.
In 350 ports around the world, on-the-spot help and
local expertise is always available to members and the masters of their ships
from the Club's 460 correspondents and claims handling services and advice from
the network of offices and branches in London, Piraeus, New Jersey, San
Francisco, Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, Beijing and Shanghai.
Thomas Miller
The Thomas Miller Group manages a number of
world-leading mutual insurance organisations or "clubs," providing insurance
for shipping, transport and professional indemnity risks; and captive insurance
companies in the Isle of Man and Bermuda. Thomas Miller provides risk
management consultancy services and, through its regulated specialist
subsidiaries, delivers a full investment management service to mutual clubs,
