P&I renewals: Economic volatility forces clubs’ tough stance on general increases

The 2026 renewal season has been a difficult one for Protection and Indemnity (P&I) Insurance buyers. General increases – the additional amount that P&I clubs require from their members, represented as a percentage of the premium paid by each member – sat at a mean average of 6% across the International Group. The most frequent increase sat slightly lower, with 7 of the 12 clubs asking for increases of 5%. The American Club and Steamship members saw the highest increase of all, at 8%. In addition, except for Gard, all clubs have asked for standard deductible increases.
