Maritime Safety Week 2020
July the 6th saw the beginning of Maritime Safety Week 2020. The Chief Inspector of the MAIB Captain Andrew Moll saw this as an opportunity and said

“I hope that Maritime Safety Week also the opportunity for improvements to be made from the bottom up. Across the industry, whether it is reviewing work procedures, servicing equipment or practising emergency responses, making time for safety is time well spent; it will lead to safer ships, reduce the risk to the environment and save lives.”

The MAIB published its annual report the week before which can be accessed here.


NAPA webinar
The software stability company NAPA was also busy this month. It produced an interesting webinar showing how the latest intact and damage stability information is incorporated into their software. You can access the webinar here.


Zea Servant accident report
Also published this month was the accident report into the cargo vessel Zea Servant. This is a really useful report to read to gain a better understanding of the hazards involved in lifting operations and the LOLER regulations.


UK P&I Club webinar
Another resource we enjoyed this month was the UK P&I club webinar giving an overview of what a P&I club does and the risks it covers. Good background knowledge for anyone working towards their Mates / Masters oral exam. You can access the webinar here.
