The American Club and the Standard Club’s small-ship offshoot have joined the horde of protection-and-indemnity mutuals not seeking a general increase at the February renewal.

The Standard Club’s London class, insuring 5,900 ships of 4.5 million gt, has also decided it will be making a 5% return of premium to members for the first time ever.

Gard, UK, Britannia, North of England, Standard, Steamship Mutual, West of England and London have already decided to not seek any general increase.
