On Tuesday 12th September during London International Shipping Week the Loss Prevention Team unveiled their new risk awareness game, 'Risk Ahoy!' to over 100 delegates from all walks of the maritime sector.
The game, which is aimed at crew, looks to highlight the everyday risks faced by seafarers in a fun and engaging way. The game has been intuitively designed to allow users to dip in and out of the action, with short, medium and long modes available. Players navigate their ship through 38 colourful levels of increasingly challenging difficulty, working their way through the various mini games, while identifying and avoiding common on board hazards.
The feedback at the event was overwhelming positive and as of Monday evening there has already been over 300 downloads of the game across both the App and Goggle Stores.
The latest initiative from the UK P&I Club's Loss Prevention Team is a novel way of highlighting the risks on board. The team have created an app based game which takes players through multiple levels of increasingly challenging difficulty, working through various mini games, while identifying and avoiding common on board hazards.
The UK P&I Club recently held a Webinar on the subject of Mooring operations and safety; the Webinar received overwhelming response with about 2350 registrations from 78 countries.
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.
