From natural disasters to reputation scandals, critical events can impact even the steadiest organizations. While many companies have critical event management procedures, most have not aligned these with the business’s strategic goals. They may not grasp the big picture or estimate the scale of the task at hand. Furthermore, many of these companies lack the needed resources to deal with different sorts of crises and might use techniques that are dated.
The shipping and maritime sectors face a unique set of risks with potentially serious consequences. Safety officers and shipping operators must be prepared to manage unforeseen events, including lockdowns, hostile attacks, natural disasters, crashes, and power outages, to name a few.
COVID-19 impact on maritime and shipping industries
On many occasions, a weakness in crisis preparedness has been identified as critical. Effective, resilient communication has been recalled as one of the key areas in which companies need to facilitate effective business continuity.
The pandemic has also affected maritime operators. Since the beginning of the outbreak, the virus has spread among many crew members and passengers, trapping them in the middle of the sea. These cases have been linked to the lack of situational awareness and real-time communication among the organization and key stakeholders. Many operators didn’t correctly estimate the urgent need for effective crisis management to manage and mobilize the crisis before it hits internally.
Ship Grounding
Ship grounding accidents present significant failures putting maritime transportation operators in danger. The risks associated with such a situation can be catastrophic to the society, environment, and maritime operators. Severe grounding applies extreme damages to the hull; however, in most serious accidents, it might lead to hull breaches, cargo spills, total loss of the vessel, and, in the worst cases, human fatalities. Ensuring situational awareness among the crew members will reduce the damages. Crew members should be aware of the actions that must be followed in critical events!
