In this episode of Alongside we discuss aquaculture, one of the fastest growing food-producing sectors in the world.
Aquaculture involves the farming of fish, shrimps, seaweed and molluscs and has been practiced for thousands of years. But as it becomes a more vital part of the world’s farming sector, there are many challenges as well as opportunities. We hear from Gareth Butterfield, Commercial Director at ReelData Incorporated and Allan Lyons, Risk Management Surveyor with Sunderland Marine (which is part of NorthStandard) about those challenges, particularly the impact of climate change, pressures from legislation and the development of new technologies.

In this episode we speak to a company at the heart of a major operation to transfer more than a million barrels of oil from a decaying floating storage and offloading unit (FSO) off the coast of Yemen.
The operation to remove the oil from the FSO Safer was sanctioned by the United Nations and took place to prevent a major environmental disaster. It meant months of planning, as well as negotiations with the local Houthi leaders, to ensure the transfer could take place safely.
A team from SMIT Salvage, part of Boskalis, led the operation. We hear from Operations Manager Paul Van ‘t Hof and Robert Meijer, who is Manager of Projects, who were both in Yemen as the transfer took place. We are also joined by Joseph Divis, Underwriting Director, Offshore & Renewables at NorthStandard, to look at how NorthStandard helped ensure this operation could take place.

In this episode we look at how the industry calculates risk with regards unexpected disruptions, both in port and at sea.
The Strike and Delay Class at NorthStandard insures shipowners and charterers against lost income or profit caused by delays arising from 30 different risks.
These include typical P&I and H&M risks, but more relevant for today, the class specialises in force majeure risks - in other words those that are outside the control of companies.
That means things such as disease, extreme weather, war, terrorism, labour unrest, strikes, civil disturbance, protest, revolution and supply chain disruption.
We talk to Columb Strack, who works with a team looking at some of these risks.
He is Head of Global Cargo Risk at S&P Global Market Intelligence, which provides forward-looking actionable intelligence and risk quantification on political and security risks affecting marine and other sectors.
Also on the show is Nick Rowe, Head of the Strike & Delay Class of NorthStandard to explain how the company supports its members with regards these areas of risk.

This episode looks at environmental, social and governance (ESG) during complex shipping disasters. What are the risks and opportunities when managing these large-scale incidents? We explore whether that can be done in a way that balances the interests of those directly affected and the insurers who pay for the clean-up.
To discuss this, Kait Borsay is joined by Nicky Cariglia, who has a background in marine biology and has spent the last ten years focussed on environmental emergency response, attending more than 30 oil spills and vessel groundings, where she has offered technical guidance.
Also on this episode is Sam Kendall-Marsden, the global head of claims for The Standard Club, who has spearheaded the club’s response to several major marine casualties, including the sinking of the cruise ship Concordia off the Italian coast in 2012.
This podcast coincides with the publication of Standard Club’s first Sustainability Impact Paper, entitled ‘Planet | People | Performance’. The report breaks down Standard Club’s strategy into two key impact indicators. The first focuses on how the club will work with its members to help create more sustainable services and practices, while the second indicator details how it plans to make its own operation more sustainable.

In this episode we take a look at how the maritime industry is navigating the journey to decarbonisation, with a focus on alternative fuels and decarbonisation. Despite the need for urgent action and to meet targets set for the industry, there is some confusion about what fuels to adopt, and a need for greater understanding about safety and insurance implications.
We hear from Professor Lynn Loo, CEO of the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation - an NGO whose mission is to help the international shipping sector eliminate its greenhouse gas emissions. She outlines how the targets are useful but challenging. Professor Loo is joined by David Roberts, Managing Director of Standard Club Asia, who gives us insight from the maritime industry and explores how the issue impacts insurance.

In this episode of ‘Alongside’ we examine how global supply chain issues caused by the pandemic and the war in Ukraine have affected the wind farm sector.
With these challenges there are also opportunities, as we hear from two of the industry’s leading companies to explore this.
Stuart Keeble is a chartered civil engineer who is a commercial manager at Boskalis, a leading global dredging contractor and marine services provider to the offshore energy market.
Also on this episode is Fabian Hippe, Managing Director of Menck, a specialist in pile driving technology and services for oil and gas, wind and civil engineering projects around the world.
They discuss how it is not just supply of equipment and materials that is a challenge but the availability of staff and skills. But they also paint a positive picture for the renewables market, as demand for win increases in all parts of the world. We here how maximising this opportunity is key and what are the best ways to do that.

Strike & Delay cyber cover is designed for shipowners and charterers looking to protect their revenue streams from the effects of a delay arising from a cyber-attack. It provides cover against cyber-attacks on ships, but also cyber-attacks against onshore infrastructure, which can in turn lead to vessel delays at a port.
In this episode of ‘Alongside’, we look at the threat of cyber-attacks in the maritime industry. As the sector becomes more and more reliant on connected technology, we ask how much of a threat is there and what needs to be done to counter those threats. Our host Kait Borsay is joined by Daniel Ng, CEO of Cyber Owl, a company which helps asset operators in the maritime and critical national infrastructure sectors manage cyber risks and ensure cyber compliance. We also hear from Georgie Furness-Smith, Senior Cyber Underwriter and Head of Maritime Cyber at AXIS Capital.
