The UK P&I Club, together with the UK Defence Club, are hosting a seminar on Ship to Ship Transfer Operations (STS) in conjunction with OnlineSTS.net and FenderCare on the 3rd March at the Piraeus Marine Club.
The Club has despatched a copy of the Nautical Institute publication "Bulk Carrier Practice" (2nd edn.) to its dry bulk carrier operator Members. Also in the package are the "Bulk Matters" DVD which addresses the causes and prevention of dry bulk cargo claims and the latest iron ore fines "aide-memoire".
Marine insurers are determined to keep the subject of dangerous bulk cargoes, and in particular nickel ores and iron ore fines, high on the Loss Prevention agenda. The UK Club's latest initiative is an aide-mémoire for shipowners and shipmanagers in the form of a pocket leaflet that can be kept handy when a vessel is chartered to load such a cargo.
