Risk management is absolutely crucial to ensure the safety of vessels, crew, and cargo, as well as to protect against financial losses and legal liabilities. Here are some key steps and considerations for effective risk management, we have put in place for our ships and clients:
We identify all potential risks associated with ship operations. This includes operational, financial, legal, and safety risks. We also consider risks related to specific routes, weather conditions, and geopolitical factors.
In Neobridge Marine, we foster a culture of safety and accountability among crew and staff. Our shore and ship teams conduct regular safety training and drills for office staff as well as for crew members.
We advise our clients to procure appropriate insurance coverage for hull, cargo, liability, and other relevant areas. We also have established a clear process for reporting and handling insurance claims.
Neobridge Marine has developed comprehensive emergency response plans for various scenarios, including accidents, natural disasters, and security incidents. We conduct regular drills to test the effectiveness of emergency procedures.
Neobridge Marine regularly reviews and updates risk assessments based on changing circumstances and new information. Our teams stay informed about industry trends, emerging risks, and best practices in ship management.
We evaluate the probability and potential impact of each identified risk and at the same time we prioritize risks based on their severity and likelihood of occurrence.
Neobridge Marine established a robust maintenance schedule for vessels, ensuring that they are in optimal condition. Our marine and technical team conducts regular inspections to identify and address potential issues before they become major problems.
