Kaufman Borgeest & Ryan LLP’s Post

This week, we proudly broke the news that Integrity HSE had completed our first acquisition. One of the first reasons we were drawn to Praesidio Ltd was because of their exceptional #businesscontinuity and #emergencyresponse services, all of which are delivered by a team of brilliant senior ex-police and armed forces personnel from across the UK, Canada, USA, and Middle East. When we first met with Rob Diver, ex-Operations Director at Praesidio Ltd and now Head of Risk & Resilience at Integrity HSE, we quickly realised why he had such an outstanding #professional reputation. His reassuring smile and professional attitude reflected his impressive #police and #military pedigree, and we knew he could immediately bring benefit to our clients. Integrity HSE believes in a fair and just #energytransition, which includes the right to lawfully protest. With that in mind, Climate Camp Scotland have confirmed their summer camp will return to #Aberdeen 10th - 15th July ‘to take the climate justice struggle to the heart of the #oilandgas industry'. We will put a link to the Climate Camp Scotland website in the comments below. If you would like to speak to Rob and his team of ex-police experts about ways that you can ensure your organisation is able to facilitate #peaceful and legal #protests (plans, training, briefings, protest interface, media response, etc.) then contact our team on [email protected]. #leadership #climate #environment #management #values

#ISOAct for tri services commands in India : Analysis of Potential Challenges: Short list The Inter-Services Organisation (Command, Control & Discipline) Bill - 2023 aims to streamline the functioning of the Indian Armed Forces by introducing a unified command structure and enhancing operational efficiency. 1. Chain of Command: The bill needs to address the chain of command of the Theatre Commanders and the relationship of the CDS (or his equivalent) with the service Chiefs to ensure accountability and avoid over-concentration of power. 2. The Defence Minister needs to be brought into the command/operational chain of the Theatre Commanders, with the CDS acting as his adviser. 3. Integration of Existing Commands: The bill needs to address the integration of existing commands, which could lead to conflicts of authority and jurisdiction. 4. Disciplinary and Administrative Powers: The bill needs to clarify the disciplinary and administrative powers of the C-in-C or O-in-C of an Inter-services Org over personnel from other services. 5. Role of Commanding Officer: The role of the CO, legal and functional, in overseeing a unit, ship, or establishment and carrying out tasks assigned. 6. Central Govt Authority: The bill needs to clarify the role of the central government in the superintendence of an Inter-services Org. 7. Implementation and Training: Integration of personnel from different services into the new command structure, even while executing current org structure. 8. Logistical Challenges: Integration of existing infrastructure, equipment, and resources across services. 9. Cultural and Organisational Changes: Address cultural and organisational changes required to facilitate the integration of personnel from different services. 10. Judicial Scrutiny: The bill needs to address potential legal challenges and judicial scrutiny, ensuring that the new command structure is in compliance with existing laws and regulations. 11. Public Perception and Trust: The bill needs to address public perception and trust in the new command structure, ensuring that the integration of personnel from different services is transparent and accountable. No one wants another Agniveer change in scope rollercoaster. 12. International Relations: Address potential implications on international relations, ensuring that the integration of personnel from different services does not compromise national security or diplomatic relationships. 13. Budget and Resource Allocation: The bill needs to address budget and resource allocation for the new command structure, ensuring that sufficient resources are allocated to support the integration of personnel from different services. 14. Personnel Management: Integration of personnel from different services, and the management of personnel in the new command structure. 15. Technology Integration: Integration of existing systems and infrastructure across services. #perplexity #Ai #genai

I’m back from my business trip, but that doesn’t stop me from having productive meetings in Odessa. Yesterday I met kenneth neijnes (Swedish Coast Guard) and Capt. Erik Froste a helpful advisor for the European Union in Ukraine. I felt the need to talk about the pressing challenges facing the Ukrainian maritime sector with them. We emphasized the complexities surrounding the verification of seafarers' documentation and instances of misconduct within the authorities. We mainly discussed the STCW and COC certification verification for seafarers, addressing key concerns in maritime compliance, and ensuring regulatory adherence. However, our discussion was not just about identifying problems; it was about crafting meaningful solutions. Through collaborative brainstorming, we outlined actionable steps to address these issues and pave the way for smoother operations and enhanced integrity within our maritime community. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Kenneth and Eric for generously sharing their time and insights despite their demanding schedules. It's moments like these that reaffirm the power of cooperation and collective problem-solving! Together, as a united force, we can overcome obstacles and drive positive change in the Ukrainian maritime landscape. #CollaborativeSolutions #MaritimeChallenges #UkrainianMaritime #TeamworkWins #Gratitude #ProblemSolving #Cooperation #MaritimeIntegrity #GlobalPartnerships

Maersk & Hapag-Lloyd have today announced a long-term operational partnership which is due to commence in early 2025. Named “Gemini Cooperation”, the collaboration will allow both companies the flexibly to adjust their operations outside the network to scale capacity in line with customers’ needs and will leverage both Hapag-Lloyd & Maersk’s combined global networks, along with their terminal presence. The cooperation will be comprised of around 290 vessels with a combined capacity of 3.4 million TEU.   Shell announced last night that they would be suspending all shipments via the Red Sea indefinitely. The move follows mirror decisions from a raft of other oil majors, liner companies and shipowners over the past few months. Conversely, US based oil major Chevron has announced they will continue transiting the region whilst closely cooperating with US Naval forces.  

🚨 Labour’s Rejection of Harland & Wolff Aid: A Risk for British Industry? 🚨 Harland & Wolff , the historic shipyard renowned for building the Titanic, is heading into administration for the second time in five years. The Labour Government’s decision to reject a £200 million aid package could have serious repercussions, including the potential outsourcing of key naval contracts and the loss of thousands of jobs. As the company focuses on winding down non-core operations and seeks new ownership, the impact on British manufacturing and national security could be significant. Are we risking crucial industrial assets for short-term financial gains? With potential buyers like Spain’s Navantia and Babcock International showing interest, there’s hope for a future under new ownership. However, without government support, Harland & Wolff’s future remains uncertain. It’s time to rethink how we support essential industries. Can we afford to lose such a vital part of our industrial heritage? What are your thoughts? #BritishIndustry #HarlandAndWolff #EconomicPolicy #NationalSecurity
