    Heading for change - Improving maritime safety

    In this podcast episode we have the pleasure of being joined by Dr Linda Sorensen, who shares her extensive knowledge on how people function in safety critical industries.  We discuss the need to focus more on the socio-technical system that seafarers operate within and gain some insight on why we must think closely about just culture, training, and the onboard work environment.  Despite having tried to engineer out the human where possible, people are still a vital part of maritime work systems and for this reason we need to prioritise an understanding of human factors.   To gain valuable knowledge from one of the industry’s leading experts, click play now!

    Heading for change - ESG mini-series, part two

    This is the second podcast in a three-part series on ESG. In this episode we are joined by the Head of Marine Claims here at Alandia, Johan Henriksson, who paints a picture of how the hull and machinery claims team works with ESG in their daily processes.   Having explored Alandia’s integration of the UN Principles for Sustainable Insurance in the previous episode, we now dig a little deeper into what that looks like in daily work routines. Claims handling is a core function that must be consistent in reaching high standards, but how does ESG affect the process? Does it change the way we work with our customers and yards/service providers? Listen in to hear the answers to these questions and more!  *Note: Although Alandia also offers fixed P&I insurance, due to time constraints this podcast takes a focused approach in concentrating mainly on H&M as the spearhead of the business. We intend to release P&I related materials soon to address this important and complex area of our work!

    Heading for change - ESG mini-series, part one

    This is the first podcast in a three-part mini-series on ESG. In this episode we are joined by Alandia’s Communications Director, Marina Stenfors, who gives us an overview of how Alandia as an insurance company commits to ESG goals.

    Heading for change - Hatch covers and their maintenance

    During this podcast we listen to the perspective of a Marine Surveyor on the topic of hatch cover maintenance. As our subject matter expert, Kaupo Püvi is a former seafarer with experience of sailing on general cargo ships. He now works for Van Ameyde Krogius where he is involved in loss prevention and damage surveys which frequently address hatch covers. In this episode we discuss some of the common pitfalls that go against recommended best practices, the importance of training and knowledge, and the need for better shoreside support from the Shipowner to achieve proper maintenance and repairs. Listen in to be better informed on hatch covers and their maintenance!

    Heading for change - harassment of women at sea

    In this podcast, we are joined by Getter Kaevandes, a marine surveyor with a story to tell.  As highlighted by BIMCO’s 2021 seafarer workforce report, women represent less than 2% of the global seafarer workforce, and as a former deck officer, Getter is in this minority bracket. But why is the gender imbalance so huge, even in today’s modern age?   In this podcast, we hear about some of the experiences that push women to leave seagoing positions, and in some cases, deters them from having a career at sea at all. It brings into the spotlight how big of an issue harassment at sea is, and how present it remains. We are very grateful to Getter for sharing with us and hope that it will help provoke some action toward making the shipboard environment a safer and better place for women to work.
