LR launches safety initiative

摘要

In partnership with insurer UK P&I Club, LR has produced three booklets to highlight the importance of safe working practices aboard vessels. These pocket checklists are entitled: Port State Inspections, Marine Pollution Prevention, and Life-Saving Appliances.This is the second time that the UK P&I Club has collaborated with LR to produce checklists, and the joint venture between the mutual insurer and the class society is said to be unusual. The advantage of the cooperation is that LR is looking at the problem from a rules- and standards-based position, while simultaneously the UK P&I Club is looking at it from a risk- and claims-based perspective.
