Since 1990, Admiralty Associates has provided public affairs assistance for more than 30 marine casualties worldwide - in such varied locations as the Strait of Malacca, Tampa Bay, Panama Canal, New York Harbor, Gulf of Oman, Corpus Christi, Oslo Fjord, Galveston Lightering Area and the Delaware River. The casualties include oil and chemical spills, cruise ship fires as well as a mutiny off the western coast of Australia. Often shipping companies are caught off balance by the intense and frequently hostile media attention that follows a marine casualty. Government authorities are forced to react to public opinion that is not balanced by an articulate and convincing public response from the shipowner. This could result in stringent enforcement, excessive penalties and even criminal charges. However, waiting for a casualty to occur and then trying to decide on a media strategy is too late. It is necessary to have a contingency plan - including how to respond to the media - before a casualty. Following a high-profile incident, the objective of the operator's response is to resolve the problem, limit liability, effectively influence the claims process, and protect the company's reputation and stay in business. Public relations is one of the tools that can be employed to achieve these goals. The media does not tell the public what to think. Rather, the media - just by reporting events - directs the public what to think about. Therefore, it is essential that a shipping company effectively communicates to the public - to all of its key target audiences - its version of what occurred and what the company is doing to resolve the problem.

Welcome to SKULD Assuranceforeningen Skuld provides Protection & Indemnity (P&I) insurance to shipowners and charterers all over the world. Its purpose is to "offer mutual insurance against third-party liabilities and losses incurred in direct connection with the operation of the entered vessels." The Club also offers Freight, Demurrage and Defence (FDD) cover to its members. Established in 1897 in Oslo, Norway, some 50 % of the tonnage entered in the Association is still Scandinavian-controlled, reflecting the club’s traditional balance between Scandinavian and non-Scandinavian business. Its other important markets are most Western European countries, Russia, Singapore, China incl. Hong Kong and USA. With its established and strong position in "mature" markets such as Norway and Denmark, the largest growth potential is currently in Greece and Asia. In addition to its head office in Oslo, Skuld has offices in Copenhagen, Bergen, Piraeus and Hong Kong. World-wide, the organisation has a staff of some 135 members, all employed directly by the Association. The Club can also draw on an extensive network of correspondents - such as the New York-based Anchor Marine, established in 1998 as an exclusive correspondent for Skuld, which assists the Club in the large number of US-related matters. As a mutual association, the Club is owned and controlled directly by its members. The President & CEO reports to the Board of Directors. The Rules of the Association specifies the division of powers between the President & CEO, the Board of Directors, the Committee and the Annual General Meeting. In 2000, Skuld was reorganised through the establishment of a total of nine syndicates, each with an overall responsibility for one or more geographical markets. A separate energy syndicate, based in Oslo and in charge of global operations in the energy field, was also established. Skuld is one of thirteen members of the International Group of P&I Clubs which work closely together in reinsurance and other matters of common interest. In August 2001, Skuld entered into a strategic partnership with Royal & SunAlliance which i.a. has an extensive, world-wide portfolio in Hull & Machinery insurance. Initially, the two partners will offer a joint one policy fixed premium cover for vessels up to 3000 GT, and seek to co-ordinate the activities of their technical departments. Other areas of co-operation are likely to follow suit.

Horsholm, Denmark

DONG was established in 1972 and since then the company has played an important role in helping Denmark to become an independent and environmentally -friendly energy supplier. Before the energy crises of the 1970s Denmark was dependent upon imported energy. Today, however, Denmark produces more oil and natural gas than we use ourselves, and this helps the country's balance of payments. DONG is owned by the Danish state. The corporation is run according to the same business principles as Danish companies listed on the stock exchange. The DONG corporation has approximately 750 employees spread throughout Denmark.

EPS provides 'best-in-class' petroleum engineering software, IT integration skills, petroleum engineering services and training to achieve breakthroughs in performance and increased value in upstream oil and gas assets. Using intelligent systems, engineers have been able to streamline and automate the production engineering tasks associated with asset management. It is important to note that since no two fields or reservoirs behave exactly alike, there is no standard solution-set that yields optimized production. Some fields already have existing infrastructure consisting of SCADA systems that can be used. Others require a new approach. EPS engineers perform a detailed asset inspection that identifies the problem areas; then they develop well and surface network models that describe optimum results; finally, they implement online systems that monitor and optimize hundreds of critical parameters. The ability to gather and interpret data online as well as implement many of the changes electronically, allows extremely complex tasks to be performed effectively with minimum manpower and expense. We call this approach to sustainable production optimization, Intelligent Asset Management (i-AM). We've been developing the technology and processes to support i-AM for the past three years and have proven its value in three implementations to date.
