Mr. Paul Jennings , CEO of the North of England and Chairman of the International Group of P&I Clubs will say a few words on behalf of the IG.
The four topics will be :
· “Is the sustainability of the P&I mutual system at risk ? Is the ever increasing aggregate volume of pool claims taking a toll on the system ?”
· “Why has P&I premium pricing been in significant decline over the last decade and where might it be expected to go over the next five years?”
· “Do the operators of vessels which bring disproportionate exposures both to individual clubs and to the larger mutuality of the International Group as a whole make a fair contribution to the cost of those exposures?”
· “Decarbonisation and Alternative Fuels are today’s need and tomorrow’s reality. What claims will likely be raised in this connection and will P&I Clubs stand by their members on these ?”
