LAWES & CO
MARINE RISK SPECIALISTS
Services Line Operation Safety Audit
In the contemporary maritime industry, the imperative of effectively managing risks has grown exponentially with the increase in vessel size and the escalating complexities associated with safe ship operation and environmental compliance.
Drawing inspiration from the proven practices of the aviation industry, Lawes & Co has meticulously formulated a proactive intervention strategy for risk mitigation that prioritizes prevention over post-accident remediation.
Our Line Operations Safety Audit (LOSA) System, designed with a comprehensive two-step approach, exemplifies our commitment to enhancing safety:
Services Line Operation Safety Audit
Collaborative Risk Development: Our team of risk experts collaborates closely with clients to establish safe operational parameters and limits (Rules) spanning a diverse spectrum of vessel operations and practices, aligning with the client's Safety Management System (SMS).
The client's SMS undergoes thorough cross-referencing by our risk experts against international regulations and best practices as promulgated by esteemed entities such as Classification Societies, Flag States, IMO, BIMCO, and INTERTANKO, among others.
AI-Aided Auditing of Data-Rich Systems: Leveraging cutting-edge AI technology, our audit system meticulously examines 'data-rich' vessel operational systems, including Voyage Data Recorders (VDR) and Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS). This proactive approach aims to identify errors, threats, and unsafe vessel operational states in advance. Diverging from traditional peer-to-peer auditing, our AI-based system excels in processing extensive datasets, thereby significantly reducing both the cost and time associated with line operation safety assessments. This achievement mirrors aerospace standards, with an impressive 95% auditing coverage, all while operating at a fraction of the traditional peer-to-peer costs.
This strategic blend of proactive risk development and advanced AI auditing underscores Lawes & Co's commitment to setting and upholding the highest standards of safety and operational excellence within the maritime domain.
