Maritime Resource Management was the main topic at Wallenius Marine’s four-day long officer conference held on 15-18 October 2013 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel and Casino Manila, Philippines. The conference contained a variety of topics but a full day, 17 October, was devoted to Maritime Resource Management. Martin Hernqvist of ALL Academy was the facilitator of the day. Shore-side managers from Sweden and Singapore attended together with deck and engine officers from primarily the Philippines and Myanmar. At the end of the seminar accident cases were analysed from an MRM perspective.
The topic was very well received by the participants and it helped to open up for a good discussion between ship and shore on important issues at the end of the day. Wallenius Marine aims at implementing MRM in their organisation to further improve safety, efficiency and job satisfaction.
