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.

Every Quarter, the Mission to Seafarers asks crew serving on vessels around the globe how they feel about their lives at sea. Covering their experiences onboard and the things that matter to them, from connectivity to wages. workload to welfare, training, shore leave to health, diet and interactions onboard. The Seafarers Happiness Index gives insight into the way those at sea feel, and the reasons why. It is a vital tool for the industry to know its people, to hear their opinions and what their impacts are on them and also the wider risks faced by shipping. You can find out more at happyatsea.org
In this episode, Shoreline speaks with Steve about his index and how it correlates with ship safety and optimal efficiency. We discuss what makes seafarers happy and look to the future of always on connectivity and what that might mean from a risk management perspective.
Lest we not forget the disastrous grounding of the MV Wakashio on the Mauritian coral reef in 2020, due to an error in navigation caused when going off track in search of better cell phone coverage, a case like this underlines the importance of managing the issue of shipboard connectivity. But what are the unintended consequences of this communications prerequisite for a happy shipboard life, and how can an owner and operator manage this new risk to shipboard safety.

Recently, Shoreline CEO Captain Thomas Brown has noted a spate of MARPOL violation cases in the US and pondered whether much has changed in the intervening 25 years since he was last at sea?
In this podcast we will attempt to answer this question with the expert assistance of George Chalos, founding partner of the US maritime the law firm CHALOS & Co. George will hopefully bring us up to date with the ongoing issues as they relate to MARPOL violations in the US.
George has spent a lifetime defending the interests of shipowners and seafarers alike when caught up in MARPOL prosecutions state side. Most investigations and when warranted, subsequent prosecutions, often arise from irregularities in written entries in the oil record book and/or whistleblower reports.
Although not squarely within Shoreline’s remit as an OPA90 COFR guarantor, we do recognize the connection this difficult subject has with a myriad of important issues including the environment, the law and the human cost of these often difficult and damaging cases.
