Our Security and Reliability

Maritime Mutual’s security is backed by a quality reinsurance programme provided by specialist Lloyd’s Syndicates and highly rated London Market insurance companies. This programme was devised and continues to be maintained by one the world’s top ranked re-insurance brokers. The resulting ‘A’ rated security package provides Maritime Mutual’s Members with peace of mind and quality services at economic cost.

Maritime Mutual’s reliability is demonstrated by its formal endorsement by Flag State and Port State authorities around the world as approved providers of ‘Blue Cards’ for Oil and Bunker Pollution and Wreck Removal liabilities. Maritime Mutual is also a globally approved provider of MLC Financial Security Certificates. As such, our Members need have no concerns about meeting flag and port state requirements for port entry into any country to which they trade.

Benefits of Membership

Maritime Mutual is structured to share risk amongst its Members in a manner similar to an International Group P&I Club. As such, Maritime Mutual is effectively a not-for-profit that is owned and run solely for the benefit of its Members. But unlike an International Group Club, Maritime Mutual is independent and not bound by the groups restrictions. This allows Maritime Mutual to be highly competitive in terms of  price, flexibility of cover terms and liability limits.

Further, Maritime Mutual is not like an independent fixed premium P&I insurer that must answer to shareholders who demand a profit. Maritime Mutual can therefore provide the best of both systems to its Members. This includes not-for-profit mutuality, tailor-made cover terms and, very importantly, independence and highly competitive pricing.
