What an ‘India Club’ means for the country’s shipping industry
Mint explains the significance: What is a P&I entity or club? A P&I entity or a P&I club is a mutual insurance association that provides risk-pooling information and representation for its members. Unlike a marine insurance company, which reports to its shareholders, a P&I club reports only to its members that include ship owners, operators, charterers, freight folders and warehouses. These act as both insurer providers and insurance receivers for its members and provide coverage for a carrier’s third-party open-ended risks such as damage to cargo, war, and environmental damage such as oil spills.

But unlike a full-grown T. rex, which would be about the size of a city bus, this dinosaur was more like the size of a pickup truck.
