The West of England found itself particularly hard hit by two painfully expensive years of claims at the International Group of P&I Clubs.

The club contributed four claims to the International Group pool in what were already exceptionally costly policy years in 2020 and 2021, running at around $500m in each year.

The result in the 2020 policy year was that the club recorded a combined ratio of 139%, one of the worst in the International Group.
