Bulk Carrier Webinar Week

 

Vetting and marine assurance form the backbone of the global dry bulk trade. With increasing regulatory demands and a growing emphasis on sustainability, adopting robust assurance strategies is more critical than ever.

 

Join us as we discuss

• How RightShip’s reduced age trigger from 14 to 10 years affects bulk carrier inspections
• The alignment of this strategy with evolving regulations and industry best practices  
• Operational adjustments required for dry dock scheduling and inspection readiness
• Financial impacts of increased inspections and strategies to mitigate commercial risks
• Enhancements to safety standards addressing risks in ageing bulk carrier fleets
• Digitalisation’s role in optimising vetting processes and enabling data-driven decisions.

 

The bulk carrier sector faces a critical challenge in addressing crew safety in enclosed spaces. All ranks face threats, but there is a disproportionate impact on leadership-level crew members, masters and chief officers, and there is an urgent need for systemic changes. Despite IMO regulations introduced in 2011 to prevent these incidents, fatalities have increased across the industry. There is now a clarion call for a fundamental rethink of ship design, operational safety procedures and regulatory approaches to safeguard seafarers’ lives.
