In 2010 the International Group launched the P&I Qualification (P&IQ) programme as a dedicated professional qualification providing high quality, sector-specific training in all aspects of P&I insurance to Club employees. The course allows candidates to gain valuable knowledge of the shipping industry, the origins and operation of P&I Clubs and the different types of liabilities insured. Two years after making the course available to Club correspondents, in October 2017, registration is now being opened to all other interested parties.
The International Group has previously agreed to cover liabilities arising in respect of the carriage of cargo under four electronic trading systems - Bolero (www.bolero.net), ESS (www.essdocs.com) the e-title system (www.e-title.net/) and the Global Share S.A. edoxOnline platform (www.globalshare.com.ar )
