Episode 20 - Half of maritime incidents in 2022 occurred in ports and terminals

Welcome to the latest episode of Shoreline’s Maritime Risk Podcast, in this episode we discuss an alarming statistic from the maritime industry.

According to a report by RightShip, an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)-focused digital maritime platform, half of the maritime incidents recorded in 2022 occurred in ports and terminals. This data was collected from various sources, including PSC, MOUs, classification societies, flag states, shipowners and managers self-reporting. The report states that 2,400 incidents were recorded in 2022 where the location was recorded.

Yucel Yildiz, RightShip’s Port and Terminal Manager, expressed concern over this statistic and emphasized the need for harbour masters and operations teams to be prepared to deal with issues as they occur.

 

In this episode, we will explore the implications of this data and discuss how increased transparency over loss data can help the marine industry manage and minimize risks at sea and in port.
