About the Event
STS Crane Incidents and Business Interruption Claims
We are pleased to announce a talk on March 29th at 13:00pm (GMT) at the Lloyd’s Library for an in-person presentation
by Waves Group.
The presentation will provide an insight into a range of typical Ship to Shore (STS) Crane
incidents and suggest how a potential subsequent Business Interruption (BI) claim can be
approached.
As one of the major bottlenecks in the operation of container terminals, we shall briefly
explain why the loss of a crane can be so significant to terminal throughput, investigating the
range of possible damages and some of the different approaches to STS repair.
The presentation will then consider how the impact on the operation of a container terminal
can be assessed. We will look to show how readily available data can be used to predict the
potential scale of a BI claim and how it can be used to challenge the quantum of a potential
claim. We will finish by explaining the advantages of reviewing a detailed BI claim from the
operational perspective when contesting quantum.
