UKMTO MIEVOM - Maritime Security: Quality, Compliance & Reliance
ASKET Ltd were delighted to present at the UKMTO MIEVOM
We discussed whether to ensure compliance there has to be a minimum cost for PMSC's to do business.
Does the constant slashing of pricing undermine the industry and support those PMSCs that are willing to cut corners and take risks.
Does this place the shipping company, insurer and cargo owner at risk?
Armed Guards - Guidelines for Masters
It can be a daunting situation for a Master to have armed security on his vessel, especially if for the first time.
These guidelines and check list have been designed to help the Master or SSO to better understand what to expect from the PMSC team that has been allocated by his company to protect his vessel.
Personal Security
Recent events had made us all think about our safety and security not only in day to day life, but also when travelling.
Seafarers travel everyday to and from countries that are deemed high risk, whether it is from petty crime, or terrorism they are often alone, and not always prepared.
ASKET have complied a list of tips to help those travelling alone for work or on vacation with their families, we hope it helps keep you and your loved ones safe.

BMP5
The BMP5 (click image and follow link to download) provides useful updates to masters in implementing Ship Protection Measures to reduce the risk of being pirated.
While the master is ultimately responsible for actions within his ship, there is an expectation that all ships will register in advance with MSCHOA and report to UKMTO upon entering the High Risk Area.
