FESCO Director Mr Pavel Vasilchenko is also a Director on the Club Board.
The anniversary present from the Club is "The Corsair Dish" as engraved on it are the opening four lines of Byron's poem, "The Corsair". The engraved words are a Russian translation of this classic poem which Lord Byron wrote in 1814 and was the basis of Verdi's opera "Il Corsaro".
O'er the glad waters of the dark blue seaOur thoughts are boundless and our souls are freeFar as the breeze can bear, the billows foamSurvey our empire, and behold our home
The UK P&I Club ('the Club'), one of the leading providers of protection and indemnity insurance, agreed at its Board meeting on 19th November to a Mutual Premium Discount of 3 per cent on the total mutual call for the 2015 policy year.
First-rate service relies upon the Club having a thorough understanding of what our Members expect from their Club and identifying any areas where we can improve. As I mentioned in the Autumn Statement in 2016, the UK Club Board announced our intention to carry out a Member Survey in 2017 in order to better understand and meet the service standards and expectations of the membership.
