Clinic visit - Croatia & Montenegro

Crew Health Director Sophia Bullard and UK Club auditor Mr David Thompson from Signum Services were recently in Croatia and Montenegro to visit medical facilities.

This area has been highlighted by Club members as potential development due to increasing crew recruitment. Montenegro marks an extension of the existing clinic coverage on the Adriatic Sea coastline southwest of Croatia. Any members interested to utilise the UK P&I Club Crew Health Programme clinics in Montenegro or other locations are invited to contact the Club Crew Health team (

With cargo’s newfound ability to go well beyond the vessel and even the port, container lines face new liabilities. The intermodal capability means that containers transit on public highways and railroads, areas traditionally excluded from P&I cover. This new type of risk has given rise to the Through Transport Club (‘TT Club’), a specialised transport and logistics mutual covering risks complementing P&I cover. Both covers dovetail with one another through corresponding cover and exclusions during ocean transit.
