About us
The International Group of P&I Clubs (the IG) is an unincorporated association of the 12 principal underwriting Protection & Indemnity (P&I) Associations (Clubs) and their Affiliated Associations that between them provide liability cover (protection and indemnity) for approximately 90% of the world's ocean-going tonnage. Each IG Club is an independent, non-profit making mutual insurance association, providing P&I insurance cover for its shipowner and charterer members against third party liabilities relating to the use and operation of ships. Each Club is controlled by its members through a board of directors, or committee, elected from the membership. IG P&I Clubs cover a wide range of liabilities, including loss of life and personal injury to crew, passengers and others on board, cargo loss and damage, pollution by oil and other hazardous substances, wreck removal, collision and damage to property. Clubs also provide a wide range of services to their members on claims handling, legal issues and loss prevention, and often play a leading role in coordinating the response to, and management of, maritime casualties. One of the main roles of the IG is co-ordinating the operation and regulation of the P&I Clubs’ claim-sharing agreement (the Pooling Agreement). All qualifying claims in excess of US$10 million are shared between Clubs in accordance with the terms of the Pooling Agreement. Much of the Group's work involves defining and refining the scope of cover for pool claims, and the rules and guidelines under which claims are shared. This claim-sharing agreement is underpinned by a very extensive, annually renewed, market reinsurance programme. The Group also provides a unique and invaluable forum for sharing information on matters of concern and an effective voice to speak collectively on important industry issues, for example on international conventions and legislation affecting shipowners’ liabilities and related insurance matters.

We are delighted to have signed a Technical Cooperation Agreement (TCA) with the National Maritime Authority of Ecuador in a meeting with the General Commander of the Navy, Admiral Miguel Córdova Chehab, and his colleagues yesterday. The TCA, similar to a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), is designed to promote collaboration with the Ecuadorian maritime authorities to facilitate a rapid and efficient response to serious maritime casualties, particularly those involving removal of wrecks and threats to the environment. We are very much looking forward to building our relationship with Ecuador through joint workshops and more. #ecuador #largecasualty #rapidresponse #wreckremoval #collaboration

The Group was pleased to participate in a workshop with the Hellenic Coast Guard yesterday. Representatives from 11 Group Clubs attended at the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Insular Policy in Piraeus. The workshop provided an opportunity for participants to learn more about the role and the responsibilities of Marine Environmental Protection Directorate of the Hellenic Coast Guard in a maritime casualty. The representatives of the Group Clubs had the chance to introduce themselves, explained how an IG P&I Club operates in a case of a maritime casualty and what kind of support they can offer to the local authorities. The workshop was part of the Group’s wider commitment, under its 2023 Memorandum of Understanding, to collaboration with the Ministry and the Hellenic Coast Guard in connection with the response to serious maritime casualties and incidents. We would like to thank the Hellenic Coast Guard for the warm welcome and the great interest they demonstrated during the workshop. #largecasualty #outreach #training #workshop
