Claims Executive Efcharis Rocanas and Senior Loss Prevention Executive David Nichol recently participated in the 'Go Maritime' event at Thessaloniki Merchant Marine Academy, Greece.
In the stand hall, they were accompanied by a number of Greek shipping companies and around 400 deck and engineer cadets were in attendance. The opportunity was taken to promote the our 150th anniversary competition and our Loss Prevention 'Lessons Learnt' project.
David also participated in a panel for the deck cadets entitled: “Opportunities and challenges for the modern merchant marine” where a variety of questions wee answered on the role of P&I Clubs, how young seafarers should prioritise studies and future challenges facing the industry.
The panel was followed by a lunch near the university which most guest participants attended.
The annual Safety4Sea award ceremony was held at the Yacht Club of Greece, Athens, yesterday evening at which it was announced that the UK Club Crew Health Programme had won the Safety4Sea Initiative Award.
During the initial stages of the voyage, the vessel encountered heavy weather, with spray and seas shipped on deck and all hatch covers over a period of 8 days; this video explores how this affected the maize cargo.
