The Shipowners’ Club has underwritten offshore business for over half a century and was one of the first clubs to provide a dedicated resource for offshore business. The Club has always remained at the forefront of developing insurance solutions for the unique and complex challenges that the sector faces. In supporting our Members’ operations, the Club has accrued many years of experience which enhances our understanding of our Members’ needs.
