Expert course

Damage encountered in marine losses came into sharp focus recently when Braemar (Incorporating The Salvage Association) welcomed an invited group of marine insurance professionals onto its specialist port and shipyard familiarisation course in Falmouth. Braemar SA has been running this initiative for many years, reinforcing its commitment to the industry by providing background knowledge and understanding to marine insurance professionals on important aspects of ship construction, shipyard operations, and repair procedures. The intensive two-day course included a visit to A&P Falmouth where the medical ship RFA Argus was docked before travelling to Sierra Leone to help tackle the Ebola outbreak.
