The Swedish Club Delivers P&I discount of five percent

The Club was pleased to report an increase in entered tonnage to more than 51 million GT, an all- time high, and a testament to the commitment and expertise of the Club’s team of dedicated professionals.

With continued sensitivity to the business pressures its members continue to face, for the third consecutive year the Club made the decision to set a zero percent general increase.

The Swedish Club closed 2017 with a bottom line surplus of USD 22.7 million or USD 18.8 million after the P&I discount. This excellent result was supported by good investment returns of 7.7 %. The combined ratio at 104 % was within expectations. The Board made the decision to offer a 5% P&I premium discount of estimated total call to current P&I members for 2018/2019.

Lars Rhodin, Managing Director of The Swedish Club said: “The Club’s ability to once again set a zero percent general increase is a reflection of the quality of our members. Similarly, our decision to discount P&I premiums by five percent is possible as a result of this strong financial position.”
