Recorded webinar: Enclosed Space Accidents

Published: 20 December 2024

BIMCO’s Katerina Elikonida Maroudi was recently a guest panellist on this webinar hosted by the Nautical Institute.

The dangers of entering an enclosed space are well known across the industry. Although best practice guidelines are in place, accidents in enclosed spaces caused by lack of oxygen or the presence of poisonous gases continue to occur far too frequently, with devastating consequences for seafarers and their families.

In response, the maritime industry has united to take action, forming a joint industry initiative aimed at education with the ultimate goal of reducing and, ideally, eliminating these accidents.

Watch our panel discussing the latest data on enclosed space accidents and, through a case study, examine how and why a fatal accident occurred, as well as the impact it had. They will also explain what the maritime industry has achieved in recent years, discuss the guidance and tools available, and provide further details on the joint industry initiative’s activities.
