Analysis of Major Claims

The UK Clubs Analysis of Major Claims is a detailed examination of the UK Club's claims over US$100,000. The report was first published in 1991 and the most recent in 1997, which examined some 3,700 major claims worth US$1.75bn incurred over the ten years from 1st Jan 1987 to 1st Jan 1997. The increased time span allows us for the first time to plot the trends as well as the actual frequency and value of the five principal categories of the Club's claims; Cargo, Personal Injury, Property, Pollution and Collision.
