Introducing Route Risk Advice

Route Risk Advice is specifically designed to help users better understand the potential hazards of a voyage, including any risks associated with the planned departure and arrival ports.  Users simply plot a vessel’s route and receive a detailed report on the likely hazards along the route, allowing for the proactive management of any identified risks.

The reports are uniquely supplemented with North’s in-house expertise and knowledge from our claims, FD&D and loss prevention teams. The format and content of the reports are easy to use and understand, having been developed alongside feedback from our Members, ensuring that the information is timely and useful in supporting shipping plans and operations.

In summary, the Route Risk Advice tool provides:

• Bespoke reports based on specific routes and locations in both PDF and printed formats.
• Easy comparisons with previous reports. Users can save frequently visited routes or areas, so there’s no need to recreate a new report each time.
• A new measurement tool to accurately measure the distance between specific points on the interactive map.
• Notifications when new data sets are available or if there’s been any changes to the platform.
• Users with the ability to give immediate feedback, report any issues in accessibility or make suggestions for improvements and/or new data feeds.

Our market leading MyGlobeView platform has proved invaluable across the maritime industry since its launch in January this year, and the addition of the Route Risk Advice solution is the next step in providing our Members with a more bespoke and valuable online experience.

In February 2020, the MyGlobeView platform was instrumental in providing the basis for a coherent marine insurance response to COVID-19 global pandemic and North’s online tracker recently collected the 2020 Safety4Sea Technology Award. Setting aside our competitive interests to benefit the maritime industries at a time of global crisis, we made our Digital Covid-19 Tracking Tool available to the International Group of P&I Clubs and 13 member clubs.
