This new offering follows the Club's acquisition of Lloyd's Managing General Agent (MGA), Waterborne, in October 2024, a strategic move enabling the Club to deliver a combined Protection & Indemnity (P&I) and H&M insurance solution, for selected risks.

We are now delighted to say that, as with  the Club’s standalone P&I cover, the joint solution is available through the Club’s internal systems and P&I Online portal, providing a true one-stop shop.
