SUNSEEKER APPOINTS ANDREA FRABETTI AS NEW CEO Andrea Frabetti has taken over as Sunseeker International CEO following the resignation of Christian Marti.
Andrea, formerly chief technical officer at Sunseeker, will work with chief financial officer Mike McMillan and chief operations officer Michael Straughan to form a new strategic committee focusing on developing a strategic framework for the business.
The committee will continue to work with the current executive management team of Adrian Powell, Sean Robertson, Barbara Baker (as interim HR director) and Sian Dodds on return from maternity leave, to formalise a more ‘product-facing organisation structure and a robust global distribution network’.
John Zeng, the board representative for Sunseeker’s majority shareholder, Dalian Wanda, thanked Christian for his leadership over the last few months: “On behalf of Dalian Wanda, we would like to thank Christian for his input, professionalism and leadership.
“Christian leaves Sunseeker in a very healthy position focussed on its future growth. We have worked with the Sunseeker Executive Management Team to create the Strategic Committee and we are confident that Sunseeker, with the continued support of Dalian Wanda, will be in an even stronger position to grow on its success.”
SWEDISH CLUB PUBLISHES BOOKLET ON PREVENTING WET DAMAGE TO CARGO ON BULK CARRIERS
The Swedish Club has highlighted how to avoid wet damaged cargo on bulk carriers in a 32 page pdf booklet, which can be downloaded below. The Club says that heavy weather in combination with leaking hatch covers is the most common cause of wet damage on cargo. However, the main concern is the incorrectly applied and poorly maintained cargo hatch covers and sealing systems.
As a result of information collected from its claims handling, many cargoes of steel and steel coils, grain, peas and solidified cement were damaged by sea and rainwater enabling the report to be produced. In fact, 34% of all insured bulk carriers suffered a cargo claim in 2017 and this has increased by 75% since 2014. For 2017, the average cargo claim on a bulk carrier was almost USD 70,000.
These incidents make wet damage the second most common claim type on a bulk carrier and the most costly, while the average cost for a bulk carrier wet damage cargo claim is almost USD 110,000 says the Swedish Club.
Leaking hatch covers are the most common cause of wet damage followed by heavy weather. These are usually closely inter-connected as seawater has entered the cargo hold through leaking cargo hatch covers during heavy weather. But there are often coinciding incidents as the cargo hatch covers may be washed over by green sea on deck when the vessel sails through heavy weather.
