ABL Group July Maritime Market Briefing, HYBRID Event
Join the ABL maritime team in person or online, at this month’s Maritime Market Briefing. This April’s maritime market briefing discusses the following topic:
Vehicle Carriers – Losses, Fire Risks and Mitigation
John Walker, Managing Director, has investigated numerous vehicle carrier losses and has a keen interest in educating the maritime industry in ways to reduce the chance of future losses. With the increased number of EV’s onboard the vessels in questions, a common question that arises when talking to Underwriters includes “What can we do as an industry about it?”. This month’s market briefing will aim to answer exactly that question and share an insight into how we can proactively work together to mitigate these risks.
