FOCUS
The smaller ships market is a specialised field, distinct from the world of large ships. Understanding the needs and demands of shipowners operating in this sector is essential. Carina is committed to this market and is focused on delivering a tailored product to meet the needs of our clients.


TRADITION
Carina was started by Tindall Riley (TR) who trace their origins back to 1855 and the establishment of the Britannia P&I Club, the world’s first P&I mutual and an integral part of the IG system. In 2018 TR decided to focus on its mutual products and looked for an organisation with the same ethos, tradition, and security to take stewardship of the Carina brand. MECO Group were chosen by TR to take over the reigns in late 2018.
