Look at the graphic at the bottom of that link. Basically, there are multiple levels of insurance in the P&I space (property and indemnity insurance common in marine insurance). Insurance companies purchase their own insurance, aka reinsurance. The levels of reinsurance can be multiple layers deep. Insurance companies form clubs to spread out the risk to multiple entities.

This stuff will be tied up in claims and courts for years to come.
