Lloyd’s List’s insurance editor David Osler explains why P&I rates are increasing in 2025 and points out what fallout from the Baltimore bridge incident the industry can expect to grapple with this year
OVER the past few weeks, we’ve brought you several episodes from our experts here at Lloyd’s List briefing you on what to expect in each respective sector in 2025.
Insurance editor David Osler is rounding that series off with a look at what the marine insurance market can expect over the next 12 months.
The sector was thrust into the limelight in March last year, when containership Dali (IMO: 9697428) allided with the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore, which resulted in the deaths of six construction workers.
That casualty could wind up being the costliest in maritime history by the time it’s run its course though the US judicial system, and the International Group of P&I clubs is already on the hook for some serious cash.
David explains how that case will affect P&I insurance moving forwards, as well as highlighting the extra capacity hitting the hull and machinery market, which could drive down prices for shipowners.
