FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin The Swedish Club reports that it registered claims exceeding 25million USD attributable to heavy weather over the past five years. In response, The Swedish Club has developed a Heavy Weather Alert tool as an addition to its loss prevention tool ”Trade Enabling Loss Prevention” (TELP). Heavy weather can cause structural damage, shifted cargo, broken mooring lines, wet damage, lost cargo overboard, and more. The Club says it has also seen examples where vessels have failed to suspend cargo operations and depart port in a timely manner when severe weather is approaching, resulting in major losses and claims. This is despite the fact that most vessels today have access to high quality weather reporting and weather routing.
