P & I Presentation for Pandiman - Jan 2013Manu Ofiaza
This document discusses the marine transportation industry and protection and indemnity (P&I) insurance. Some key points:
- The marine industry transports 96% of the world's goods and supports a global population of over 7 billion people. P&I insurance plays a critical role in insuring shipowners against third party liability claims.
- P&I clubs were established in the 1850s when shipping became commercially uninsurable due to high losses. Shipowners formed mutual insurance clubs to share risks.
- Today there are 13 P&I clubs in the International Group which provide over $4 billion in liability coverage per incident. P&I insurance covers claims for cargo loss, collision, pollution, injury and
P&I Clubs are mutual insurance associations that provide coverage for shipowners and charterers against third-party liabilities arising from ship operations. They cover broader risks like cargo damage, collisions, pollution, injuries, and loss of life that regular marine insurers are unwilling to cover. The document discusses key differences between P&I Clubs and marine insurers as well as cargo insurers. It also provides examples of risks covered by P&I Clubs and outlines provisions of the Hague-Visby Rules governing carrier liability.
Marine insurance protects parties involved in shipping from financial losses due to dangers at sea or accidents during transport.

The bill of lading is the important legal document issued by carriers detailing a shipment. Different types of marine insurance policies cover vessels, cargo, and risks like war or piracy.
This document discusses a case study of a marine cargo insurance claim for rust damage to a shipment of steel coils from China. Key details include:
- 20 coils weighing 110 MT were imported from China and arrived in Chennai, India in late October 2011.
- Upon arrival in late November, the coils were found to be rusty. Tests determined the rust was not due to saltwater damage.
- Based on the pre-shipment storage conditions, rainy discharge period, and degree of rust, the surveyor concluded the rust damage likely occurred prior to shipment due to the coils being stored uncovered before loading.

1) Stevedore damage clauses in voyage charter parties determine responsibility for damage caused during cargo loading and unloading by stevedores.

3) Making charterers responsible puts pressure on stevedores through cargo shippers/receivers to settle claims, as stevedores in some ports refuse payment to earn insurance rebates.

determine liability. These may
include:
6. Slip and Fall

Slip and fall accidents are the number one
cause of personal injury on cruise ships. If
the cruise line fails to maintain safe
conditions, they may be liable. Causes for
unsafe surfaces include:
H I C K E Y L A W F I R M
Poorly maintained Lido or Pool deck
Inadequate lighting
Failure to repair or replace stair railings
Failure to repair worn-down non-skid
deck surfaces
7. Onboard Medical
Malpractice
If you're sick or injured on a cruise, there
are medical personnel on board to help.
However, they often do not have adequate
training, are provided with only basic
equipment, and many are not licensed in
the U.S. This can pose complications if you
experience medical malpractice on a
cruise. It's imperative that you contact an
experienced lawyer if you suffer medical
malpractice on a cruise ship.

8. Cruise Ship Safety
Drill Accidents
Cruise lines provide safety drills for
crewmembers and passengers to reduce the
risk of injury or emergency. Unfortunately,
accidents can happen during drills as well. If
an accident occurs to anyone during a safety
drill, the cruise line may be liable if they:
H I C K E Y L A W F I R M
Failed to properly train its employees
Purchased defective safety equipment
Failed to properly maintain safety
equipment
Failed to make sure safety equipment is up
to code
9. Crewmember and
Seamen Injury
The Jones Act protects the rights of
crewmembers who are exposed to
the perils of the sea and allows them
to sue their employer for the
existence of a dangerous condition
onboard a ship. The crewmember has
to show that the cruise line was
negligent in maintaining proper
working conditions. While it sounds
straightforward, this can be complex
and our experienced maritime
lawyers can help.
