We here at Mastermind Shipmanagement are pleased to welcome one of the oldest P&I Club’s in the world to the family, namely UK Pandi Club. When interviewed for MSM’s Newsletter (issue 14), Mr Nick Milner, Deputy Syndicate Manager at Thomas Miller (Hellas) Ltd., said:

“We see it as a primary function of the Club’s work to raise awareness through Loss Prevention initiatives, such as:

  • Loss Prevention Materials
  • Website resources
  • Ship Inspection
  • Benchmarking
  • Risk Profiling
  • Threat and Consequence analysis
  • PEME Scheme
  • Signum (the UK Club’s unique investigative service)
  • The Self-Assessment Scheme

The last one is worth mentioning since it enables Members to use the Club’s historical claims data and expertise to review their own practical efforts to keep their ships safe.

Focusing on cargo, pollution, personal injury, collision and third party property claims, a simple and logical system is provided to participating Members to assess the Controls that are in place on board their ships and to mitigate the various Threats that may be encountered. It is a process which encourages individuals to appreciate consequences and in which ship and management play equally important  roles. We look forward to developing a long and mutually-beneficial working relationship with Mastermind’s fleet.  Marking the start of that relationship, 2015 is most definitely going to be a special year.”

MSM can only agree.
