Impacts and forms of severe weather at sea, especially due to climate change, highlighting best practices for the maritime industry to mitigate the risks.
It is essential to continually recognise and respond to changing risks exposure, as shipowners and operators may face emerging or evolving risks beyond their previous experience due to climate change. A local operator familiar with severe weather may still need to adapt to new threats, such as tropical storms in an unfamiliar operational area. This underscores the importance of maintaining systematic risk reviews and promoting knowledge sharing to proactively identify hazards and assess risks. Building resilience in advance through a structured, business-relevant approach is crucial to ensuring preparedness and effective risk mitigation.
