"Failure hiding in successful work - how cumulative risk builds"

Bringing together tug operators, harbour authorities, pilots, regulators, investigators and maritime safety professionals from across the UK and Europe, the event will provide delegates with the opportunity to hear the latest safety insights, exchange operational experience, and contribute to discussions on the challenges facing the sector.

The programme will feature contributions from leading organisations across the maritime industry. A keynote presentation from the Dutch Safety Board and Boluda Towage will examine the lessons learned from the recent Rotterdam tug and tanker collision investigation. The Seminar will also include contributions from the Maritime Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB), the Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA), Peel Ports and the Shipowners' Club, providing delegates with a broad range of perspectives from across the maritime safety community.
