Electric Vehicle Maritime Safety Conference: 17 October 2024   To book visit https://lnkd.in/eFKAwhji   ICHCA Member Port Skills and Safety and the UK Chamber of Shipping are bringing together experts from academia, the automotive, and maritime industries, to discuss the risks and mitigations arising from the increased use of electric vehicles in ports and their carriage on vessels transiting through UK ports.   Lithium-ion batteries are increasing used in everyday life, from electric cars to mobility scooters, up to electric tugs and port plant equipment. Whilst the risk of fire associated with their use is not thought to be higher than any other fire risk, the implications of electric battery fires can be far more severe. Dealing with a lithium-ion fire in a port or on a ship presents unique challenges and risks, this conference will discuss those risk and how best to prepare for them.   This conference will discuss the various touch-points that electric vehicles have with ports and shipping including car carriers, ro-ro ferries, plant and ageing batteries being exported in containers.   This conference is open to members of both associations as well as any other interested parties.   For all the details follow the link: https://lnkd.in/ebW7wcNy

Safety Alert: Mooring operative struck by mooring line What happened: During mooring operations of a cruise vessel, the pilot advised that the vessel would begin to tension one of the lines, and for mooring teams to stand clear. A change in wind pushed the vessel off berth, causing the mooring line to take up all available slack. The mooring line became fouled on fixed equipment on the quayside and the tension increased further, resulting in the line pulling clear from behind the equipment and springing back several feet. The energised line struck a mooring operative, catapulting them forwards and downward onto the quayside, causing them to sustain very serious injuries to both their upper limbs.
