Passage guide

The Swedish Club has launched its Passage Plan+ Guide, a resource designed to support shipowners, operators and navigational officers. Voyage/passage planning must be carried out for every vessel before departure. Every company has its own procedures and there are many guides defining how it should be handled. Joakim Enström, senior loss prevention officer at The Swedish Club, said: "We handle many claims every year and issues regarding voyage/passage planning are a recurring theme".
