PROTECTION & INDEMNITY
Protection & Indemnity insurance is amongst the oldest and most important marine insurance products and covers liability claims, such as cargo claims, personal injury claims, oil pollution claims, wreck removal claims, excess collision liability and the costs for repatriation of stowaways.
The scope of P&I cover has constantly enlarged over the past two centuries, hand in hand with the development of shipping. A recent example is the cover for liabilities in connection with MLC Rule 2.5.2 (financial security for the claims of seafarers against the shipowners), which is not a classic P&I risk.
