Master’s Guides
Our loss prevention team has written and published a unique series of Master’s Guides. Each one focuses on how to achieve best practice in key areas of shipboard operations.
The guides were created by harnessing the professional knowledge of the former seafaring members of our loss prevention team, combined with input from relevant industry experts.
The aim of the guides is to provide practical and technical advice that will serve to eliminate claims deriving from common errors and mistakes during routine shipboard operations.
Free to download
The guides make excellent training manuals and are free to download and use:
