5. Post-Conference masterclass
Optimising ship security and safety
Monday 30 November 2009
Urban Lambertson, Leadership & Management Consultant,
LaMbertsON CONsULtiNg
about the workshop:
This masterclass deals with the key issues within ship safety today.
Mr. Urban Lambertson is a survivor of the great tragedy that befell
the MS Estonia. He will share not only his strategies for survival
on that fatal day but how this experience has given him both the
strength and insight for leadership management and instilling this
quality in others. Through practical examples, a real-life case study
and group sessions, this masterclass will arm you with the tools
that you will need to optimise ship security whilst meeting both
business and safety requirements.
going from a security plan to actual reality
What is it that crew members actually need to do in times of crisis?
And what does it actually take to get there? Lessons learned from
the MS Estonia:
● Illustrations and extracts from a computer-based
example assessment
● Injecting awareness of risk and security management into the
entire organisation to have the initial tools for action
● Going beyond safety plans and strategies to build a culture-
driven development across the board
● Turning safety challenges into opportunities to create a win-win
dimension and strengthen your business
Learning to work as a team to increase efficiency
and certify passenger safety
Training models need to be as close to reality as possible in terms
of time, crises effects as well proximity and coordination of crew
members. This way, they will be better equipped to deal with the
incident at hand and work as a team. This session focuses on:
● Incorporating real-time training, learning and practice to be
prepared to meet the incidents head-on
● Combining the stress factor in a training exercise to elevate
adrenalin and build awareness of what it actually takes to cope
with the situation at hand
● Teaching the importance of trust – trusting yourself as well as
your team members with your life
● Meeting the challenge in a rational way and with the right
frame of mind
● Developing innovative approaches to reach passengers with
‘tunnel vision’ by developing a routine and increasing focus
● Analysing human behaviour including feelings and reactions
to make the most of debriefs and maximise future exercises
rescue missions through leadership management
Rescue missions in ship incidents are not dependent on hierarchy
but rather on the leadership of the crew as a whole entity. This
session reveals how to ensure both passenger and ship safety by:
● Assuming dual job functions during a ship safety occurrence
● Building a strong culture for coordinating service, crisis
and security management
● Developing a ‘situational awareness' and a focus on the
right frame of mind
● Drilling down both routine and automatic systems process
building awareness and responsibility
in a synchronised manner
What happens to the responsible organisation after a
catastrophe occurs? This session deals with developing a crisis
management function post-incident to rebuild the trust of
stakeholders, staff and the shipping industry by assuming the
proper responsibility and coordinating efforts to build awareness
and support all parties involved.
