WHAT RISKS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH SHIPPING.
Saturday, April 8, 2023 Michael 11
Risks in shipping may be classified into five categories:
1. Technical risks – those that attach to the ship herself and its equipment on board.
2. Financial risks - These are usually imposed by method of financing projects particularly acquisitions, ratio of equity capital to borrowed funds (capital gearing). High ratio attaches risks to future cash flows in that cost of capital have to be met whether or not profits are being made.In periods of depression where profits are low excessive pressure on cash flow create liquidity problems for companies.

Commercial risks - Relate to trading activities of ship and occur in connection with economic developments which affect ship operations. Usually in the form of market conditions (quotas) or operating conditions.Major commercial risks in shipping are freight rate volatility, competition, and port delays.
Political risks - Relate to rules of the game which comprise either international or national standards for operating the ship compliance with which more often than not has cost implications. Political risks may also be viewed in the context of countries engaged in world trade. Outbreak of war or presence of warlike conditions puts vessel at risk even when flying neutral flags.
Liability risks – This relates to claims from third parties which may arise out of:(1) contractual relationships such as cargo owners, crew
members. In this losses a limit of liability may apply depending on the terms or rules governing the carriage contract.
(2) non contractual relations (tortuous acts) as collision for which owner of offending ship becomes liable, contact with fixed or floating objects, damage to shore installations and port facilities.
RISK MANAGEMENT IS THE LOGICAL DEVELOPMENT AND CARRYING OUT
OF A PLAN TO DEAL WITH POTENTIAL LOSSES WITH THE PURPOSE OF MANAGING AN ORGANIZATION’S EXPOSURE TO LOSS AND PROTECT ITS ASSETS BY OFFSETTING RISK EVENTS OR MITIGATING THEIR EFFECTS.

after losses.Step 1. Identify and measure potential loss
exposures.Step 2. Choose the most efficient methods of
controlling and financing loss exposures and implementing them.
