The Shipowners’ Club, the leading mutual P&I insurer in the smaller and specialist vessel sector, has reported encouraging results for the year ending 31 December 2024.

For the 2024 financial year, the Club has reported a combined ratio of 98.8% which is a continuation of the Club’s track record of delivering ‘at cost’ insurance to its Members. For the first time in the Club’s history, the ongoing support we received from Members and their brokers saw gross earned premium exceed US$ 300m.

The year-end saw the Club report net assets of US$ 447.5m, representing a 10% increase over the previous years. This strong capital position, which is reflected in Standard & Poor’s reaffirming the Club’s A rating (stable outlook), leaves the Club well placed to continue to provide high quality, well priced P&I insurance to its Members into 2025 and beyond.
