Britannia P&I Club was granted a licence by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to underwrite business from its Singapore branch, according to an announcement.

The Singapore office will look after Britannia’s ASEAN countries members as well as its members in India and Australasia. It will also assist where required with all members’ claims arising in the ASEAN region, in association with Britannia’s local port correspondents.

The Singapore branch will be managed by Tindall Riley (Britannia) Singapore (TR(B)S) and is headed by John O’Flaherty, chief executive.

Joining O’Flaherty are lawyer Derek Birch, Capt. Rajesh Raman, Capt. Nasir Subahrie, Sivakami Moorthy, Victoria McFarlane, as well as Capt. Ajit Karande, who will handle correspondent work and oversee Britannia’s ASEAN correspondents.

Previously, the P&I club’s Hong Kong branch also received an underwriting licence from Hong Kong’s insurance regulatory, the Insurance Authority.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
