Marine risk management within the safety zone

The Marine Safety Forum has drawn attention to the increasing frequency of serious marine incidents within installation 500m zones. This highlights the need for:

  • Greater understanding and ownership of marine risk from an installation perspective;
  • Strict operating discipline in compliance with established procedures and recognised operating limits;
  • Better quality communications between installation and vessels.
