The Yacht Club Seminar - Thursday 12 November
On Thursday 12 November, North held its annual Member’s Yacht Club Seminar which was well attended by around 125 guests.
The topics included a financial and P&I claims review by Greek Office Director Tony Allen, with visiting Newcastle Global Director, Katherine Birchall giving an overview from the FD&D perspective. The Greek office was also joined by Newcastle FD&D Director Ben Roberts who spoke about charterparty withdrawals, with Greek Office Deputy Director, Helen Yiacoumis looking at re-delivery notices with the emphasis being on the precautionary steps Members need to take to satisfy the technical requirements, preferably with FD&D input from the outset.
The seminar was rounded off by Senior Claims-Handlers, Gordon Robertson and Captain Dev Lajmi talking about how North delivers on its promise of service excellence and best practice in action in relation to the “SMART” wreck removal casualty in South Africa, North’s biggest ever pool claim, which was completed on time and within budget.
The evening ended with a buffet and drinks with the unseasonably warm weather in Greece allowing guests to enjoy drinks outside on the Yacht Club veranda overlooking picturesque Microlimino Harbour.
