A merican Club Circular No . 24/25 1 NOVEMBER 5, 2025 CIRCULAR NO. 24/25 TO MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION Dear Member: NEW CLUB PUBLICATION – COLLECTION OF PERISHABLE EVIDENCE Once all immediate safety, cargo, and environmental concerns following an incident likely to result in a claim are addressed, the preservation of evidence becomes very important. Properly collected, preserved, and documented evidence provides information that enables us to learn from incidents, verify compliance with regulations, procedures and policies, and properly establish the incident’s liabilities. In particular, the collection of perishable evidence, which is time critical and cannot be properly recreated or recovered, is particularly important. The American P&I Club’s new publication Collection of Perishable Evidence highlights the evidence to be immediately prioritized after particular incidents occur, documents best practices and potential pitfalls (i.e., do’s and don’ts) as well as noting key considerations for handling witness statements. It also contains perishable evidence checklists for particular P&I incident events. The publication is available on the Club’s website at: https://www.american-club.com/page/emergency-response Members are asked to note the foregoing. If they have any questions, the Managers will be pleased to respond. Yours faithfully, Dorothea Ioannou, CEO Shipowners Claims Bureau, Inc., Managers for THE AMERICAN CLUB
