An Eye on P&I: A Marine Podcast from Marsh

Marsh 21 Episodes May 20, 2026

This series explores the world of protection and indemnity (P&I) clubs, discussing their history, structure, functions, and operations, and the vital role they play in the marine industry. P&I clubs are crucial to the marine industry, as club members pool resources, expertise, and financial strength to manage risks and provide insurance coverage. Acting as shipowners' mutual protection societies, they offer coverage for third-party liabilities. Through their collective efforts, P&I clubs contribute significantly to the safety, stability, and sustainability of the global maritime industry.
