Standard covers
The Club’s core range of insurance products provide comprehensive cover for shipowners and charterers engaged in every sector of the shipping industry. Each is available as a standalone product or can be combined to provide a bespoke insurance solution.
Mutual P&I is the core product offered West. It provides comprehensive protection against a wide scope of liabilities a shipowner might face and, by virtue of the Club’s membership of the International Group of P&I Clubs, unparalleled limits of cover.
To meet the needs of operators of smaller vessels, West offers a tailor-made fixed premium liability insurance product offering P&I cover in accordance with Club Rules, coupled with full claims handling support.
Charterers operate in an ever-increasing litigious environment where the liability exposure has become more burdensome. The West’s Charterers Comprehensive Cover (CCC) has been continually developed to meet the demands of this changing environment.
