Is it possible to eliminate the occurrence of maritime incidents? All parties engaged in maritime commerce endeavour to reduce both the probability and impact of maritime incidents, acknowledging the significant ramifications such events hold for all stakeholders.
This book states that contingency planning differs from crisis planning and traditionally has not covered post-casualty recovery within the concept of business continuity. The lack of clarity around this concept highlights a gap in industry contingency planning literature and training. This two-volume book introduces a new contingency planning model, applies it to 22 maritime incidents, and offers guidance on training, hydrodynamics, towage/salvage, maritime law, and general average issues in contingency planning.
These chapters provide comprehensive guidance for managing maritime incidents, minimising the need to consult multiple resources. Each chapter includes both theoretical analyses of maritime scenarios and case study research, with a dedicated section on LNG ships. The content aims to assist readers in understanding effective strategies for addressing maritime incidents
The book is suitable for shipboard and shore-based professionals, maritime lawyers, loss prevention specialists, surveyors, general average practitioners, researchers, regulatory authorities, classification societies, and other stakeholders. It is expected to become the industry's standard reference on maritime incidents.
