Hamburg, Germany – The Container Ship Safety Forum (CSSF) has admitted The Swedish Club as its newest Associated Member, marking the first time a marine insurer has joined the forum.
Founded in 1872 in Gothenburg, Sweden, The Swedish Club is a leading mutual marine insurer providing Protection & Indemnity (P&I), Hull & Machinery, and related marine insurance services to the international shipping industry. The organisation also has a long-standing commitment to loss prevention and supporting safer shipping operations through knowledge sharing and industry collaboration.
"We are delighted to welcome The Swedish Club to CSSF. Insurers see safety and risk patterns from a different vantage point than owners and managers – through claims, losses, and incident trends across the fleet. Bringing that perspective into CSSF for the first time strengthens the evidence base we work from, and we look forward to what we can learn together."
Swapan Mondal, Second Chairman of the CSSF Management Board
“We are pleased to join CSSF as the first member representing the marine insurance industry. Safety is a shared responsibility across the maritime industry, and we believe meaningful progress comes from collaboration, openness, and learning from one another's experiences. CSSF provides a valuable platform for bringing together different perspectives, sharing lessons learned, and supporting continuous improvement across the container shipping sector.”
Joakim Enström, Loss Prevention Manager, The Swedish Club
