Braemar Techincal Services held their biannual Falmouth Port & Shipyard Familiarisation Course from 10-13 October 2017 hosted by Sue Stewart and Graham Ayers.
The group, a mixture of underwriters and brokers from the marine insurance market, familiarised themselves with ship repair and bunkering operations at Falmouth Docks. This included:
- viewing the facilities at A&P shipyard operations, graving docks and repair workshops;
- coordinating search and rescue drills with The Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCGA) Her Majesty’s Coastguard at Pendennis Point;
- touring UK’s number one offshore bunker at World Fuel Services; and
- attending various lectures on marine issues.
Future courses are open to all members of the marine insurance community; the next course to be held in May 2018. See our Courses and Events page for more information.
