Casualty guideline book launched
(Mar 30 2012)
The Nautical Institute (NI) and the International Salvage Union (ISU) have
jointly published `Casualty Management Guidelines'.
This book is aimed at providing comprehensive practical guidelines to help
seafarers during a casualty when demands can be confusing, contradictory,
unclear or a combination of all three.
In the book, Masters and seafarers are told what to expect from people, or
organisations that might be involved as the casualty unfolds.
Chapters are presented in a largely chronological order of how Masters should
expect to deal with different people, from owners to government officials,
insurance representatives and salvage experts.
It is meant to give all involved an idea of the job each may be undertaking,
together with priorities and responsibilities, the publishers said. The
Chapters have been written by experts in these fields, who have casualty
experience to share.
In a foreword to the book Koji Sekimizu, the IMO secretary general said that
`Casualty Management Guidelines' "..should become recommended reading for all
those who may find themselves in a position of responsibility during a maritime
casualty - preferably well in advance of the event."
The book was launched at an event to coincide with the ISU's Associate Members'
Day in London this week where technical editor John Noble FNI, who, until
recently, was an advisor to the ISU, acting as its general manager said: "When
a major casualty occurs a number of priorities become immediately apparent -
the first is to ensure the safety of life of those on board. A modern reality
is that protection of the environment has become the second priority for
responders.
"As many as 50 people may be involved in immediate casualty response activities
and the purpose of these guidelines is to give all parties an idea of where
priorities lie with others attending, especially where there are political
pressures when a casualty threatens the environment.
"By inviting contributions from experienced major casualty responders, it is
intended that this book will serve as a guide to all who may become involved in
the post incident activities and enable them to appreciate what happens and
where others priorities will lie during the response period," he concluded.
`Casualty Management Guidelines' is available from the NI price: £20; ISBN: 978
