ABL April 2025 Market Briefing
Join us for the ABL April Maritime Market Briefing, discussing the following topic:
Using an insurance pre-risk methodology to improve port marine safety
Ports play a vital role in global trade, but their operations come with inherent risks that can lead to safety incidents and financial exposure. By carrying out a pre-risk survey, potential hazards can be identified and mitigated before they escalate, improving overall port safety and reducing the likelihood of claims from the insurance industry. Understanding how this methodology enhances risk management and strengthens port resilience is key to fostering safer and more efficient maritime operations.
The technical presentation will be followed by a Q&A and a summary of last month’s high-value maritime case reports, which will only be presented to attendees in the room.
When: Thursday 10th April, 9:30 AM UK time
Where:
- In-person: Lloyd’s Old Library, 1 Lime Street, EC3M 7HA, London. Arrivals from 9:00 AM for coffee, tea, biscuits and networking.
