MAN OVERBOARD Prevention & Recovery 2018
01.12.2017
Specialist MOB Workshop Southampton UK - 17 April 2018
MAN OVERBOARD Prevention & Recovery Workshop is being held on 17 April 2018 at the Grand Harbour hotel and conference venue in the port of Southampton UK.
This one day event focuses on issues affecting the sub IMO / sub 24 metre professional sector. As man overboard and death by drowning is still the prime risk at sea ALL marine sectors are invited to participate in this specialist Workshop.
Topics include location of a casualty in the water and solutions range from crew keeping a traditional lookout to selecting and using the latest electronic devices. Besides the challenge of working in rough conditions lifting the casualty can be hampered by injuries, clothing and vessel design.
Workshop Lead John Haynes said, ‘We fully appreciate that the whole subject of MOB prevention, location, recovery and treatment can only be touched upon in a one day seminar. Our objective is to bring together people with genuine experience to share knowledge and endeavour to improve best practice across all maritime sectors.’
