The full-day seminar is a practical operational focussed session for all. It will be held at the Northern Lighthouse Boards HQ at 84 George Street, Edinburgh.
This full day seminar will focus on the recovery of persons in the water (PIW) and MOB rescue, culminating with the release of the new BTA produced Guide to Good Practice for PIW Recovery equipment & techniques.
The seminar will examine recent incidents, discuss accident prevention and will hear from tug experts, insurers and investigators. With an audience of tug masters, pilots, marine superintendents, P&I clubs, lawyers and others, the aim is to inform, discuss and share best practice.
The programme remains in development but speaking and sponsorship opportunities are available.
