Learning from Accidents

26 Nov 2025 06:15PM - 08:00PM Thomas Miller | 90 Fenchurch St, London EC3M 4ST, United Kingdom Branch UK/London

The London Branch of The Nautical Institute is pleased to host its next Joint Informal Meeting (JIM) on 26 November on the theme of 'learning from accidents (rather than blaming seafarers)'.

Join us at the offices of Thomas Miller in Fenchurch St, London, where a panel of industry speakers will discuss accident investigations and how we can learn from them;

  • Why many accident investigations end up with recommendations concentrating on human behaviour
  • Why we don’t see responsibility taken up by those higher up the command chain
  • Why we are not seeing systematic solutions?
  • The impact of fatigue
  • Time and financial pressures
  • What can we do better?

[Chairing] Mr Steve Cameron FNI| Chair of the London Branch of The Nautical Institute

Capt Kuba Szymanski FNI| Secretary General, InterManager

Mr Stuart Edmonston FNI | Safety & Risk Management Director, UK P&I Club

Mr Dimitri Bourqui MNI| Chief Officer & Tanker Marine Superintendent, ABC Maritime AG

We would greatly welcome your active participation in this important discussion...
