Amadeo 1 - mitigating the costs of wreck removal

CPD podcast »

In this IIL marine & energy lecture Sam Kendall-Marsden talked about how the costs of wreck removal need not be exorbitant and how underwriters can control costs.

Sam provided a summary of the Amadeo 1 casualty. He covered the initial response, planning proposals, advisors and the tender decision. He also looked at some of the technical, commercial and contractual considerations involved. In conclusion he explained how all of these factors illustrated how costs can be controlled through effective casualty management.

By the end of this lecture members would have gained an insight into:

• The management of a major casualty from an underwriter’s perspective

• How costs can be controlled through effective casualty management

• Broader themes of liaison and interaction with states in an attempt to promote effective casualty response
