Common Findings during prevention prior ENERGY CLAIMSPRIMARYMaster without adequate Certificates for international voyages.Charts not updated. Emergency towage arrangements not adequate.Towing winch non operational.Sludgy lub-oils due to unclean tanks resulted in stoppage of M/Engine several times enroute.SECONDARYCrew was unpaid for several months. Poor living conditions on board have resulted into a very low morale of the crew.

Oil Field Management requested the help of the Search & Rescue helicopter thru base to drop the mariners on the barge to help fixing robust towing lines.



Some of the many many preventive measures possibleDedicated salvage vessels with qualified and trained salvage crew.Defined command and control for Emergencies (centralized)Better transparency with documented inter departmental coordination (with appreciated confidentially requirements).Risk assessment at all times. Real time training as realistic as possible.Real time emergency drills, with increased frequency when adverse weather is expected.Retention & Training of crew ( up keep of crew metrics)
