The London P&I Club is a member of the Combined Group of War Risks Clubs, covering and pooling war risks liabilities, principally involving British ships.
The insurance essentially provides cover for physical loss and damage to shipping caused by war risks, but also includes detention or diversion expenses, as well as cover for third party liabilities usually excluded by P&I.
Details of the cover are set out in the War Risks Rules with effect from 20 February 2010.
The London P&I Club strongly recommends that all Members implement and adopt the Best Management Practices to Deter Piracy in the Gulf of Aden & relevant parts of Indian Ocean, including the registering and liaison requirements specified. These practices have been developed by industry and naval forces and should be particularly useful in the preparation of ships’ anti-piracy contingency plans. The June 2010 version of the Best Management Practices document is available on The London Club web site: Click here for details
