Protection & Indemnity

Trusted P&I correspondent and maritime claims support in the Maldives.

Centurion PLC provides Protection & Indemnity correspondent services and maritime claims support for shipowners, operators, insurers, P&I Clubs and cargo stakeholders.

P&I Correspondent Services

When an incident occurs on board a vessel, time is critical. Shipowners, managers, charterers, insurers, and P&I Clubs require immediate response, accurate reporting, proper documentation, and effective coordination with local authorities to protect their interests and minimise financial exposure.

Centurion provides trusted P&I correspondent services in the Maldives, representing members of the International Group of P&I Clubs (IGP&I), as well as various other P&I Clubs, fixed premium insurers, marine underwriters, and insurance brokers. Over the years, Centurion has built a strong reputation as a leading provider of P&I support, casualty response, claims assistance, and marine surveying services in the Maldives.

Our role is to act quickly, professionally, and independently when things go wrong. Whether the matter involves cargo damage, crew injury, pollution, collision, grounding, hull damage, shortage claims, stowaway issues, or port-related incidents, our team provides prompt attendance, clear communication, and practical support from the first notification through to final reporting.
