P&I club may be liable for P&O cancellation

The P&O cruise ship Aurora which was forced to abandoned its round-the-world cruise, had third-party liability cover through Bermuda-based P&I club UK Mutual Steamship Insurance Association. However, it is not yet clear whether P&O will be able to claim for the compensation and refunds paid to passengers. The cruise was abandoned after engineers were unable to repair a mechanical fault.
