1 P&I 2592/ December 2014 Protection & Indemnity Insurance 2015/2016 Section 1: Statement from the Management Overall claims frequency for the Club during the last 3 years is fifty percent higher than average for the period , and is increasing Underlying estimated claims inflation is 3-4% per annum International Group excess reinsurance negotiations are on-going and a small reduction or an as expiry renewal is expected Growth rate in line with expectation now standing at 40.7 million GT with an additional 21.2 million GT of charterers entries A general increase of 2.5% has been decided by the board in addition to changes in Group reinsurance cost An increase of deductible for crew liabilities in the amount of USD 1,000 Claims frequency and severity The overall rise in claims frequency has continued during 2013 and As before, the increase is mainly driven by cargo and crew claims. As for claims in excess of USD 500,000 the frequency remains stable and at a low level. We estimate that the annual rate of claims inflation continues to run at 3-4%. Underwriting results P&I The Club was, as expected, unable to meet the 100% combined ratio target for P&I in 2013/2014 as a result of an adverse claims experience. It is envisaged that the target will be met this year according to our forecast. The Club does, however, not model nor budget for a balanced result for the policy year 2015/2016. Other business areas and products should continue to provide support, closing the gap overall. Pool claims For the International Group of P&I Clubs there has been deterioration in the cost and number of pool claims for previous years. The Club has so far not reported any pool claims for policy year 2014/15. The distribution of pool claims in terms of number of claims for the Club over the last ten years has been below the modelled expectations. The severity during the same period has been in excess of the modelled expectations. The estimated cost of pool claims is based on modelled expectations and distributed on a neutral basis. P&I Circular 2014

2 P&I 2592/2014 Our portfolio Our portfolio has continued to grow in line with expectation and with a somewhat higher pace during We continue to exceed the industry average growth rate the last five years and have thus been gaining market share over the period. GT has increased by 100% and premiums by 125% since Rationale: General Increase policy year 2015/2016 The Club s Board of Directors has decided on a 2.5% general increase to support the target of a balanced technical account for policy year 2015/16. This decision particularly addresses the underlying claims inflation level and the Club s need to continue to keep the premium commensurate with exposure. It also reflects the tough trading conditions for shipowners where increases are unwelcome news and should be seen as a way of balancing interests.. Section 2: Descriptive part Decisions and Instructions At the meeting in London on 4 December 2014, the Board of Directors decided the following regarding premium and deductibles for the policy year 20 February 2015 to 20 February 2016: to levy a general increase of 2.5% instructed the management to contact each Member individually to discuss renewals for 2015/16 after levying the general increase, the new call will be adjusted by any changes in the International Group s reinsurance cost. The call will also reflect the true exposure of our retention, as well as estimated contributions to pool claims, together with an assessment of the Member s records and risk exposure to increase the Crew deductibles of the Association by USD 1,000 for the 2015/16 policy year Owner s Protection & Indemnity Premiums All premiums are debited as advance and supplementary calls. It is anticipated that this policy year will be closed in The Board decided that the premium will be debited in four instalments: at inception on 20 February, 20 May, 20 August and 20 November. The premium will be based on Gross Tons (GT) as per the International Convention on Tonnage Measurements of Ships Supplementary Call Any supplementary call for this year will initially be decided upon in The current estimated supplementary call for 2015/16 is 0%. Release Call The release call for 2015/16 is presently set at 20%. Members should be aware that, even if a release call has been paid, the Association retains the right to make overspill calls as per the P&I Rules (Rule 24). Renewals The premium for 2015/16 will be based on the Member s record for the five-year period , including the current year, if adverse. Records and claims summaries are available P&I Circular 2014

3 P&I 2592/2014 through SCOL, located on the Association s website at: The information is updated daily. Application of General Increase and adjustments for records The 2.5% General Increase and adjustments for records relevant to policy year 2015/16 will be applied to the net premium applicable for policy year 2014/15 (gross premium less commission if applicable). Once the XS reinsurance cost for policy year 2015/16 is known, the old XS reinsurance cost will be taken out of the new net premium and replaced with the new cost of the XS reinsurance applicable for policy year 2015/16. Thereafter (if applicable) the commission will be calculated/added and the new gross premium will be arrived at. Payment of Premium Premiums are to be paid in accordance with the enclosed Procedures for Payment of Premium. Limit of Liability The overall liability of the Association for 2015/16 is, unless otherwise stated in the Policy or in the P&I Rules, limited to a maximum collection of a 2.5% contribution for each entered vessel, based on the International Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims 1976, property claims Article 6 paragraph 1(b), in excess of reinsurance jointly placed by the International Group. (See also current P&I Rules, Appendix ) The limit of liability for Oil Pollution is USD 1 billion. In respect of P&I Excess War Risk Cover, the limit is USD 500 million and in respect of war liabilities arising from Bio-Chem etc, the limit is USD 30 million. For passenger and seaman risks, the limit is USD 3 billion with a sub-limit of USD 2 billion for passenger claims only. Lay-up Returns Members are allowed up to 50% premium returns for vessels laid up in a safe port for more than thirty (30) consecutive days, if the vessel has only watchmen and no cargo onboard. No premium return is granted for vessels less than 500 GT, or for tugs, barges or passenger ships/ferries in coastal trade. A claim for lay-up returns should be made to the Association as soon as possible, however, and at the latest 12 months after expiry of the policy year. Sufficient information has to be supplied in order for the Association to calculate the return. A lay-up return application form is enclosed. Old years The release call percentages reflect an assessment of the risk that it could become necessary for the Club to levy an unbudgeted supplementary call. The assessment is made by examining the factors set out in the International Group Agreement, notably premium risk, catastrophe risk, reserve risk, counterparty risk, market risk and operational risk. The current position of the open years as decided by the board in December 2014 is as follows: Year Status Estimated Supplementary Call Release Call 2012/2013 Open 0% 7.5% 2013/2014 Open 0% 10% 2014/2015 Open 0% 15% 2015/2016 Open 0% 20% ` ` P&I Circular 2014

5 P&I 2592/2014 Enclosure 1 Explanation of re-insurance and premium structure The Swedish Club provides P&I cover for its members for each and every accident and/or occurrence up to approximately USD 6.5 billion. The high limit is needed to adequately protect members/shipowners financially and to make sure that they are covered for accidents that may occur under worst-case scenarios, when taking into account current international legislative schemes. To be able to provide for these limits, the IG Clubs, where The Swedish Club is a member, re-insure each other as well as buy reinsurance together to ensure that insurance costs are kept to a minimum. It is our aim to try to explain how we reinsure P&I liabilities on behalf of our members and the different costs involved, as well as showing how premiums are charged. Structure and Cost of P&I Re-insurance for policy year 2014/15 (subject to changes as per ) Retention 0 to USD 9,000,000 The Retention of each Club is USD 9,000,000. This limit has gone up quite significantly over the last few years. It is up to the individual Clubs to buy reinsurance to cover claims within the retention. The Swedish Club s Board of shipowners has decided to cap P&I claims at USD 3,000,000 for each individual member as it has felt that it would be unfair and exorbitant to charge the full amount to a member s record. Therefore the biggest claim an owner can have in his or her claims record is the aforesaid amount.

6 Premium for the retention is divided up in three parts: 1. A premium based on the exposure for the fleet based on vessel type/age, cargoes carried and trade the member is involved in. 2. A premium based on the individual member s claims record for claims below USD 3,000, A mutual reinsurance premium (abatement) to cover claims between USD 3,000,000 to USD 9,000,000 is charged to each member. The rational for charging an reinsurance premium is that member s records have been protected by the Club. Pool USD 9,000,000 to USD 80,000,000 All members of the International Group share and pay each other s claims in excess of USD 9,000,000 and up to USD 80,000,000. Lower Pool USD 9,000,000 to USD 45, Each Club pays claims according to GT, premium volume as well as individual Club claims results within the layer. The layer has a payback mechanism where a Club will pay back any deviation from a balanced/neutral position over time. Upper Pool USD 45,000,000 to USD 60,000,000. Each Club pays claims based on GT only. The claiming Club will pay 10% of the claim in the layer for its own account and the remainder will be shared based on GT. Upper Pool USD 60,000,000 to USD 80,000,000. Each Club pays claims based on GT only. The claiming Club will pay 5% of the claim in the layer for its own account and the remainder will be shared based on GT. Mutual pool reinsurance premium is based on modelled expectations and distributed on a balanced/neutral basis. Each Club assesses pool claim contributions based on figures provided by the IG at the beginning of the year and the anticipated claims cost is part of the annual premium. Reinsurance layers USD 80,000,000 to USD 3,080,000,000 (often called Excess of Loss Programme) The Swedish Club participates in the International Group of P&I Clubs general reinsurance arrangement in excess of USD 80,000,000, and in the Group Captive tier Hydra of USD 50,000,000 in excess of USD 30,000,000. This reinsurance is placed with large reinsurance companies and on the Lloyd s and London markets. The cover is placed through the reinsurance sub-committee of the IG Group where all participating Clubs are represented. Mutual Excess of Loss Reinsurance Premium 2014/2015 Tankers carrying persistent oil as cargo: USD per GT Tankers carrying non-persistent oil as cargo: USD per GT Passenger vessels: USD per GT Other dry cargo vessels: USD per GT The owners P&I cover reinsured through the Pool is subject to the following special limits: Oil Pollution: USD 1,000,000,000 Passenger and seamen combined: USD 3,000,000,000 Passenger (sub-limit): USD 2,000,000,000 Reinsurance - in excess of USD 3,080,000,000 Overspill If a claim was to exceed USD 3,080,000,000 i.e. the limit of the Group pool s excess of loss contract, the excess or overspill would be pooled amongst the Group Clubs. The overall

7 Group pool limit for such an overspill claim remains unchanged at 2.5% of the property limitation funds under the 1976 Limitation Convention of all ships entered in all International Group Pool Clubs. Members remain ultimately liable to pay an overspill call up to a maximum of this limit for each entered ship in accordance with Rule 24. Overspill Premium No mutual reinsurance premium is charged upfront for overspill claims. Mutual Premium Structure P&I premiums are set to cover a combination of exposure and actual costs for claims on an individual member basis, mutual and Club-specific cost of large claims, reinsurance costs and finally brokerage. On top of this, P&I Clubs have operational costs for running the Club. On the other hand financial income/investment income is not credited to owners accounts. The basic Premium Structure for The Swedish Club: Individual Member premium premium for layer USD 0 - USD 3,000,000 a. Premium is set based on the exposure for the fleet depending on vessel type/age, cargoes carried and trade the member is involved in b. Premium is based on the individual member s claims record for claims below USD 3,000,000 Mutual premium premium for layer USD 3,000,000 USD 9,000,000 A mutual reinsurance premium (abatement) to cover claims between USD 3,000,000 to USD 9,000,000 is charged to each member. The rational for charging a reinsurance premium is that members records have been protected by the Club. The abatement reinsurance premium is distributed based on modelled expectations. If actual claims in this (abatement) layer are lower or higher than anticipated free reserves will be credited/debited. Pool premium premium for layer USD 9,000,000 USD 80,000,000 Mutual pool reinsurance premium is based on modelled expectations and distributed on a balanced/neutral basis. Excess of loss reinsurance premium premium for layer USD 80,000,000 USD 3,080,000,000 Reinsurance premium which is passed on directly from reinsurers to members depending on the type of vessel and for tankers the type of cargo carried.

17 English P&I Rule 22 Premiums and deductibles Premiums and deductibles for the policy year to come are decided annually by the Association. The premium is due for payment in four equal instalments on 20 February, 20 May, 20 August and 20 November. Should the period of insurance commence during the current policy year, a pro rata premium shall be paid at the time when the period of insurance begins, for the period until the next due date. Thereafter the premium shall be paid as stated in the second paragraph. Deductibles for the policy year to come are decided annually by the Association. There shall be one deductible per event unless different type of liabilities are involved in which case each type of liability shall carry one deductible. Swedish P&I Regel 22 Premier och självrisker Föreningen fastställer de premier och självrisker som skall gälla för det kommande försäkringsåret. Premie är förfallen till betalning med en fjärdedel den 20 februari, 20 maj, 20 augusti och 20 november. Börjar försäkringstiden under löpande försäkringsår, skall pro rata premie erläggas då försäkringen träder i kraft för tiden fram till närmaste förfallodag, varefter premien betalas som angivits i föregående stycke. Föreningen fastställer de självrisker som skall gälla för det kommande försäkringsåret. Varje händelse medför en självrisk såvida inte händelsen omfattar olika slag av ansvar i vilket fall varje ansvar medför en självrisk. Change: A clarification that one casualty can result in several deductibles depending on the circumstances, which is the practice applied by the Club and also other Clubs.

18 P&I 2592/2014 Enclosure 3 Procedures for payment of premium Debit notes will be mailed to Members/Brokers one month prior to due date in order to provide ample time for arranging payment. To speed up the transfer of funds we recommend an electronic payment order. Crossborder payments should always be effected with relevant IBAN, our bank's name, address and SWIFT address (Bank-/BIC-Code) being HANDSESS to ensure an easy and quick settlement. The debit note reference number (i.e. invoice number) should always be stated on the payment order, enabling the Club s accounting department to quickly trace the payment. At renewals and risk attachments, debit notes for the first instalment might not have been received prior to due date. In such cases Members are requested to transfer the outstanding amount prior to receiving the debit note. In case premiums are not received by the Club on the due date, interest calculated at one per cent (1%) per month will be charged from the day after the due date. The interest will be debited per calendar quarters. Should premiums still be outstanding 30 days after the due date, the Club may issue a notice of cancellation to the Member and relevant Mortgagees.
