The Club held a webinar to discuss the causes and methods of prevention of container losses at sea.
Webinar Overview
Every year thousands of containers fall overboard, leading to millions of dollars in losses and maritime pollution. Often the reasons for these losses, such as parametric and synchronous rolling, are not always fully understood by stakeholders.
This webinar delves into the causes of container losses at sea, such as parametric and synchronous rolling, and explores practical and technical methods for prevention to mitigate financial losses and maritime pollution.
Covering the following issues in detail:
- Are cargo arrangements designed for parametric and synchronous rolling?
- Practical aspects of identification and ship handling
- Technical aspects of parametric rolling
- Various research and resources on the subject
The panellists:
- Capt. Kostas Karavasilis, Regional Loss Prevention Director (Greece), UK P&I
- Capt. Hanoz Billimoria, Nautical Faculty, Samundra Institute of Maritime Studies
- Jos Koning, Senior Project Manager, Performance at Sea, Marin
