Operations, Compliance and Claims
About the Course
Timely and practical, this masterclass extrapolates important considerations in retrofitting, maintaining compliant marine scrubbers’ operations and meeting sulphur regulations. Throughout 4 modules, participants will be provided latest global fuel outlook and scrubberrelated claim trends, as well as technical commissioning and on-board operations. Topics will include how to effectively mitigate scrubberrelated incidents; better manage retrofit at yards; washwater discharge monitoring and reporting. Legal considerations such as charterparties’ clauses and scrubbers’ downtime liability will also be included.
Key Learning Outcomes & Case Studies Include
- Updates on major scrubber-related claims, disputes and key operational, legal implications
- Understand key technical problems with scrubbers – from system selection, installation, commissioning to daily operations
- Best practices for on-board operations, scrubbers’ maintenance and downtime management
- Wash water management, monitoring and compliance reporting
- Preventive measures for claim mitigation and managing legal risks
- Case studies and exercises include:
- Supplier selection
- System design and engineering
- Retrofit & commissioning management
- Problems arising during installation and on-board operations
