Marine Risk Management - a way of thinking
In shipping, when asked about what terms they associate with safety, people will, more often than not, mention words such as accidents, lifeboats, life vests and survival gear. These associations are strongly connected with what is needed when an emergency situation happens. However, all these words have a reactive rather than proactive connotation.
To us Marine Risk Management is all about the way we are thinking and preventive thinking should be the natural state of mind. A simple example is if the weather cast says it will rain tomorrow and you automatically bring your umbrella to be sure you won't get wet if/when it starts to rain. This preparedness should be the natural state of mind whoever it is that is boarding your vessel and whatever responsibility that person has. It should come natural to all of us to think ahead, be aware and mend in time if needed. That is why we have written the booklet 'Marine Risk Management - a way of thinking'.
Course
A way of thinking; Marine Risk Management, is a 2-day introductory course for ship's officers, engineers and shore-based personnel. The aim of the course is to improve the ship operators overall risk profile by stimulating the use of basic risk management theories, put in a realistic context, in the day-to-day operations. An easy to grasp method is presented to the participants, improving their risk awareness and ability to detect, prevent, control and mitigate risks involved in the operation of ships. Participants will be introduced to risk management tools such as FSA (Formal Safety Assessment), ALARP theory, Fault- and Event Tree Analysis, Cost Benefit Analysis, Hazard Identification and the Bow Tie Model, amongst others. We dare say that the course will boost your "way of thinking"!
A seminar for students is available on the topic: An event is defined as a situation where we have lost normal control and need to activate stand by systems and/or take decisions on how to proceed. Naturally we like to prevent these events from happening. Marine Risk Management is therefore an important management function for the insured and also for the insurer. Identification of scenarios in everyday life onboard, which might lead to accident events, is, or at least should be, a central task for all involved. The objective is to prevent the occurrence of accidental events, and we believe it is done through the way of thinking.
