Risk Alerts

General Cargo on Cellular Container Vessel

In order to ensure that Members, their Masters and ships' crew are kept abreast of topics which may be of interest to them, the Club's Loss Prevention Department will be producing regular editions of a new publication, Risk Alert.

Risk Alert bulletins will cover a wide variety of topics such as:

  • Highlighting areas of concern where claims experience has led the Club to believe that detailed guidance is required to mitigate the potential for further claims
  • Promoting good seamanlike and industry best practice
  • Analysis of case histories and the identification of root causes
  • Promoting material produced by Flag States in relation to best practice
  • Promulgating advice regarding new regulatory requirements


Copies of Risk Alert are available to view, download and print below. Members are encouraged to circulate these publications as widely as possible within their organisations.

It is intended that information previously published on this website as Loss Prevention Guidance Notes will be replaced and updated by new Risk Alerts. However, for the time being, Guidance Notes will still be available.
