Directed towards senior managers, including Shipmasters, across all shipping activities, this book examines techniques and demonstrates how risk management can be applied. The underlying philosophy contained in the text is that managers have a responsibility to identify hazards, carry out risk assessment and control risks. By doing so, their organisation will be less exposed to risks and in the long term will be more secure and profitable. It covers risk management in companies, in transit, onboard ship and in port, marine insurance and legislation.
