<strong>Asia</strong> <strong>Pacific</strong><br />
Since 1996 the <strong>UK</strong> P&I Club has built up the most extensive international office network of an International<br />
Group club, utilising and developing locally-based expertise and extending claims handling authority across<br />
a number of offices and their executive staff. There are now over 40 executives in Hong Kong, Singapore,<br />
Tokyo, New Jersey, San Francisco and Piraeus.<br />
Our <strong>Asia</strong> <strong>Pacific</strong> offices have grown in strength to reflect the growing demand for advice, claims handling<br />
support and loss prevention services from Members within the Region. These offices enable the delivery of<br />
Club service in Members’ local languages and time zones.<br />
Hong Kong represents the focal point for service delivery in Greater China and Korea. Supported by<br />
representative offices in Shanghai and Beijing, it assists and advises Members operating within Greater<br />
China as well as the wider Club membership trading here. The office is fully integrated with the Club's<br />
global paperless file claims system, and provides loss prevention support, claims and guarantee authority. It<br />
also manages and supports the services provided by other offices in the region.<br />
The <strong>UK</strong> P&I Club has over many years worked closely with legal, commercial and maritime organisations<br />
across the <strong>Asia</strong> <strong>Pacific</strong> region to achieve a deeper shared understanding of the P&I industry and, in<br />
particular, to further and protect the interests of its Members.<br />
