The collision involving the MV Dali and the Francis Scott Key Bridge represents one of the most significant marine liability events in recent years. This panel will examine the implications for the P&I market, focusing on the potential scale and complexity of claims arising from infrastructure damage, business interruption, loss of life and environmental impact.

This session will assess how such a large, multi-faceted loss tests the capacity and structure of the International Group pool, including reinsurance arrangements and capital resilience. A central theme will be the application—and potential challenge—of limitation of liability regimes, and how these may influence ultimate loss allocation between shipowners, insurers and other stakeholders.

The session will also explore likely areas of dispute, including causation, fault and recovery actions, as well as the broader implications for underwriting, risk selection and accumulation management within the P&I market.
