The UK P&I Club (the UK Club) has attracted over three million gross tons of new tonnage, following the closure of the renewal season. At conclusion of renewal the Club’s tonnage stands at around 120 million gross tons. This represents net growth over the past year of 7.6 million tons. As importantly, the Club maintained its policy on sound underwriting declining an equivalent volume of tonnage during the renewal on factors such as quality of risk. “As ship-owners face extremely challenging conditions, the Club’s strong capital position enabled a 2.5 per cent mutual premium discount on the 2011 policy year. The discount amounted to a 10 per cent deduction for all mutual members for the final instalment of the 2011 call due in December last year.
