It was a great honor for the ACPII to attend the 110th meeting of the Legal Committee of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). (LEG 110) 26-31 March 2023 in London
The Association of Commercial P&I Insurers (ACPII) was invited to present the nature and scope of the Association to the members of the Secretariat IMO Legal Committee. On 29th of March 2023, in an informative presentation, the ACPII represented byLiv Irene Loland and Bianca te Poele, clarified the necessity for founding the Association and discussed the mission statement and objectives of the ACPII, of which the most important one is to be the reference point for quality commercial P&I insures in the global markets.

 The ACPII was founded in April 2022 by Hydor AS and MS Amlin Marine, with a clear objective to create a platform where the quality players can come together and cooperate on issue of common interest. Our ambition is ensure a single voice for the quality commercial P&I insures that can engage with all relevant stakeholders in the maritime industry. We aim to become an active partner that can contribute to vital process related to our industry , and to share information and knowledge.
