Recognising the critical importance of our Members’ insight into the daily challenges experienced on board, our loss prevention working groups are key components of our loss prevention team supporting a collaborative approach to addressing industry issues.
Working Group Members
There are two Loss Prevention Working Groups; one in Europe and one in Asia Pacific. They meet twice a year, liaising with our loss prevention and claims teams on issues that affect P&I risks, general loss prevention advice and the dissemination of information to Members. Many of our loss prevention initiatives, including our guide on collisions and Can Test training pack stem from the recommendations of the Working Group.
Participants are appointed from our membership with a view to having input from a cross-section of vessel types and operations.
