Our Correspondents network extends around the globe to offer assistance and guidance to our Members wherever their trading operations take them.

Correspondents are selected on the basis of their practical knowledge of the shipping regulations and practices in their local ports and their P&I insurance experience.They act as independent advisers on behalf of our Members and are available to provide direct and immediate assistance in the event of an incident or casualty involving a vessel entered with the Club.

We recommend that Members request Correspondent assistance as soon as possible after an incident has occurred in order to benefit fully from the service they provide.

The Club does not appoint agents, but when necessary utilises the services of correspondents overseas. Whilst the Club has endeavoured to list correspondents’ e-mail addresses it should be noted that messages sent by e-mail are not received instantaneously and therefore urgent messages requiring immediate action should not be sent by e-mail. All appointments made directly by the Member/Master should be reported to the Club as soon as possible with details.
