The widespread use of lithium-ion batteries within consumer goods and electronic/hybrid vehicles is reshaping the risk profile of managing hazardous cargoes. This requires new approaches to proactive defence and risk mitigation. We encourage ship owners and operators to build their knowledge around issues such as cargo planning, fire risk preparedness and implementing advancing crew training.
React Workshop
We've partnered with React Emergency Response and Simwave B.V. to provide a training initiative enhancing crew training on fire-fighting risks, related to the transportation of renewable energy sources.
Whitepaper
We've also teamed up with our sister mutual TT Club and Brookes Bell to issue this whitepaper highlighting the continuing safety threat created by the transportation of lithium-ion batteries.
