Risk Intelligence Analysis in Yachting
Effective tools for managing risk
The number of significant incidents has increased in recent months, including fires, flooding, and groundings. These events have the potential to result in devastating and life threatening occurrences. Is there really an increase or do we just need to better inform the industry? If there is truly an increase, is there a general issue with how risk is managed on yachts? Join us to discuss recent events and learn how to be better equipped to mitigate these risks.
- What tools are needed to assist with this?
- What is the Underwriters perspective regarding risk intelligence management?
- What approach should yachts take to proactively prepare to prevent such disasters?
- Why are flooding and grounding incidents occurring?
- Will e-bikes, scooters, or tools powered by Lithium-Ion batteries be banned onboard superyachts.
- What is the proper method for monitoring EV-Tenders, Submersibles, or Personal Watercraft?
- Is there early warning technology available to combat this very real risk?
- Have regulations or specific processes been established?
- Which fire suppression method should be used?
- Where can crew be best trained to be able to best respond these fast-escalating circumstances?
- How does the existing regulatory framework sit with the advent of new technologies, particularly in light of the proliferation of lithium-ion battery systems?
All these questions and more will be answered on the 29th. Join us for an engaged and informative discussion on this pressing matter for all Owners, Management and Crew.
Date: 29 September. Doors open at 9AM. Seminar begins at 9:30AM.
