About The Swedish Club

The Swedish Club is a leading marine mutual insurer with its head office in Gothenburg, Sweden, and branch offices in some of the world's strategic shipping centres; Oslo, London, Athens, Hong Kong, and Singapore.

The Swedish Club is a mutual, a non-profit-making organisation. Established in 1872, the Club is owned and self-managed and under the direct control of its members. All strategic decisions are taken by a Board of Directors drawn from the members.

Our members make up an international community of front-ranking shipowners who believe that quality comes first.

Every member has met our demanding conditions of entry. These standards cannot be met without total commitment to quality. In return, we provide insurance services of the highest quality; our members'​ premiums do not subsidise owners operating to lesser standards.

Mutuality means that the Club's interests are identical to the interests of the members. Our mutual aims include the safe and pollution-free operation of vessels.

Naturally, given the nature of shipping, it is impossible to eradicate all accidents. That is why we place such emphasis on service excellence in casualty situations. Our priority is to help the member solve the problem as quickly as possible, ensuring the vessel's swift return to trade.
