Swedish Club Extends BRM Training to Pakistan

The Pakistan center’s first BRM course is scheduled for early August.
Swedish Club: Stability In Stormy Markets
While the impact of poor freight rates and low oil prices have been felt in all quarters of the Scandinavian maritime industries, the region's hull underwriters and P&I Clubs continue to benefit from the relatively strong domestic shipping and energy sectors. Scandinavian marine insurers have demonstrated resilience in challenging market conditions. The global hull market remains in a downswing of unusual severity. As for the P&I sector, the past 12 months have had a nervous character, with talk of mergers and the increasing profile of the fixed premium players. The Swedish Club, the Gothenburg-headquartered marine mutual, is committed to both sectors - providing total package hull and P&I services. In the hull sector, the Club has refused to follow the market in its downward spiral.
