London, 25 November 2025: The UK P&I Club and the TT Club have announced that they are currently engaged in discussions regarding a potential merger between the two mutual insurers.
The Clubs have worked closely together for many years through their common manager, Thomas Miller. At their meetings in November, the Boards of both Clubs agreed to explore the possibility of cementing this existing relationship through a potential merger. The merged Club would have a unique breadth of expertise across the maritime and transport industry and bring together complementary strengths to enable an enhanced and integrated service to Members whilst meeting the evolving needs of the industry.
The strategic visions of the UK P&I and TT Clubs are closely aligned, in each case they are focussed on providing exceptional service to Members, delivering growth, efficiency and improving financial stability. Both Clubs are highly respected in their own markets and combining the two accelerates progress towards their shared strategic goals. The combined Club will be uniquely positioned to support its Members, and the broader maritime and transport industries, in addressing the challenges and opportunities of the future.
Discussions remain at an early stage and will continue over the coming months.
Jan Valkier, Chairman, UK P&I Club, said: “Exploring a merger with the TT Club reflects our strategic focus on achieving greater scale, diversification and sustainable growth. This merger would create a market-leading maritime and transport insurance mutual, with an exceptional service offering underpinned by enhanced financial strength. As part of our considerations, we remain committed to our membership of the International Group which is a cornerstone of our identity.”
Morten Engelstoft, Chairman, TT Club, said: “The TT Club and UK P&I Club already have a strong relationship and operational synergies. Combining our capabilities while preserving our successful independent brands and service offering will deliver greater value to our respective Members. We are still in the early stages of our discussions and whilst no final decision has yet been made we are confident that this opportunity creates exciting prospects for both Clubs.”
