Third time in one year with Wallenius Marine in Manila

By Maritime Resource Management (MRM), Seminars/Conferences No Comments

Some of the most enjoyable events are the meetings with seafarers and shore-side staff at crew conferences. It has been a privilege for ALL Academy to embark upon an MRM project with Wallenius Marine in Stockholm and Singapore where the focus so far has been on introducing the MRM concept to their seafarers. In less than a year, this has been done three times in connection with officer conferences in Manila. The third such event was held at the Makati Shangri-La Hotel and a full day, 8 October 2014, was dedicated to MRM. The day ended with a case study analyzed from an MRM perspective. A selection of photos from the event are shown below.

The event was very similar to last time with about 50 participants of which half the group from office and half from sea. A good mix most suitable for the MRM topic.

ALL Academy invited by Laurin Maritime to address MRM at officer conference

By Maritime Resource Management (MRM), Seminars/Conferences No Comments

We were pleased to get the opportunity, for the third time, to talk about Maritime Resource Management at an officer conference hosted by tanker owner Laurin Maritime AB. Last time was in Manila at the end of March 2014. This time, on 19 May 2014, the conference took place at Varberg Stadshotell in Varberg, Sweden. Founders and owners, the Laurin family, took an active part in the conference.

Informa Manning and Training Conference highlights safety culture, management and leadership issues

By Maritime Resource Management (MRM), Seminars/Conferences No Comments

Manning and Training conference, Copenhagen, 13-14 May 2014, Stand lrThe 17th European Manning and Training conference was held in Copenhagen, Denmark, on 13-14 May 2014. Organised by Informa Maritime Events and excellently chaired by Kuba Szymanski, Secretary General of InterManager. The conference gathered some 150 participants from near and far.

Martin Hernqvist was one of the speakers and the title of his speech was “Developing effective safety cultures on board – moving outside the box to achieve results.” In his speech he talked about the three components of competency – ‘knowledge’, ‘skills’ and ‘attitude’. He mentioned that the maritime industry is too much ‘certificate focused’ and said that “certificates mean little, results matter”. He concluded that we have to move outside the box (meaning the STCW Code and Convention) and involve the ship owner and ship manager to achieve results. Effective safety cultures cannot be established if those are not on board.
