The UK P&I Club is committed to safety. Its high-level loss prevention programme - the most extensive in the industry - aims to offset rising claims and maintain quality amongst Members.

Stuart, a Master Mariner, joined Thomas Miller to lead UK P&I's Loss Prevention efforts in 2014. In the six years since Stuart has presided over award-winning initiatives such as the Lessons Learnt programme and leads the Clubs safety campaign.

We are committed to safety, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to loss prevention: every shipowner is different. The UK Club has developed a unique series of bespoke loss prevention services for Members across crew health, ship safety and operational safety.

Although committed to best practice in claims handling, the UK Club has long believed it is better to prevent incidents happening in the first place. The UK Club provides its Members with proactive and inclusive loss prevention support. A full-time loss prevention team researches other issues providing technical and operational advice to Members. They focus on avoiding incidents and the corresponding financial, and possibly human loss that can occur. 

"I am based in Athens, Greece at the technical HQ of Dorian LPG where we interview, de-brief and meet with all senior officers. I am also a regular visitor to vessels and our manning agency in Manila, Philippines. Without a doubt, I can say 100% that video learning and testimonials are one of the most impactful, deep-diving tools in communicating messages around safety and lessons learned to new crew and re-joining crew. I applaud all efforts to bring to life lessons learned and share our experiences through the industry in order to improve life at sea and bring seafarers home safely to their families."
