The insurance policies written by a P&I Club may include an element of what is generally known as Employers’ Liability Insurance. Each P&I Club subject to regulation in the UK is therefore required from 20 February 2011 to set up an Employers’ Liability Register, the aim of which is to help those seafarers who have suffered injury or illness in the workplace to identify their employer’s liability insurer.
The Club’s Employers’ Liability Register provides searchable lists in PDF format of all vessels insured by the Club commencing from 20 February 2011 by individual policy year; and for prior policy years a list of vessels in respect of which a personal injury or illness claim has been received since 20 February 2011.
To search for a vessel on which you have served, either select the list for the policy year(s) corresponding with your service dates, or for policy years prior to 2011 the claims list, and use the search function (Ctrl F).
Important Notes:
1. A listing on the register does not constitute an admission of liability on behalf of the Club but merely indicates that the Vessel was insured with the Club for the period indicated. Insurance cover is provided subject to the Rules of the Club and the Certificate of Entry issued in relation to the Member’s entered ship. If you believe you have a potential claim you should contact the Claims department:
london@londonpandi.com.
2. Vessels listed in respect of cover periods prior to 20 February 2011 have only been identified following receipt, after 20 February 2011, of a claim for personal injury or illness in the relevant policy year. For periods of service on board a Vessel prior to 20 February 2011 the records may therefore be incomplete.
3. The Register is updated every three months and so in respect of the current policy year cover may have ceased since the last update. You can confirm whether a vessel is currently entered by using the
ship search facility of this website.
4. For wider searches of the international merchant shipping fleet you can (following registration) freely access the EU's ship database
Equasis which maintains insurance records in respect of all the International Group P&I Clubs and is updated monthly.
