Colebrook,, CT, United States

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.

BP Shipcare is a wholly owned subsidiary of BP Shipping Limited, which is a member of the BP Group. It was formed in 1975 initially to lay-up its own surplus tonnage but as demand and expertise increased the service was expanded to include other ship owners and operators. BP Shipcare's lay-up site is off the coast of Sabah, Malaysia near to the island of Labuan, in Brunei Bay. The bay was identified as a suitable spot for preserving vessels and rigs since it lies in sheltered waters outside the typhoon belt. The anchorage has good holding ground in 30m of water and a current of no more than half a knot allowing ships to be moored to a single anchor. The lay-up unit can accommodate over 30 vessels at any one time. Since the start of operations in Brunei Bay, BP Shipcare has successfully laid-up and reactivated over 150 different vessels, including tankers, gas carriers, rigs and container ships. The experienced gained over this time enables us tailor the lay-up to suit owner and vessel requirements, ensuring vessels are returned in optimum condition. Typically this involves protection of machinery against static seizure, dehumidification of accommodation and engine room, hull protection via strategically placed anodes and blanking of hull apertures, and appropriate protection for all external deck equipment. Once laid-up, 24 hour on board watch-keeping enables the entire crew to be repatriated providing significant cost savings to owners. Routine maintenance schedules are agreed and regular reports keep owners apprised of vessel's condition. In addition, by liaising with local shipyard facilities, BP Shipcare is able to assist with arrangements for any remedial or refurbishment work that may be required, making efficient use of the period the vessel is in lay-up.
