Heading for change - Alandia Alandia Loss Prevention Team

In this podcast episode we have the pleasure of being joined by Dr Linda Sorensen, who shares her extensive knowledge on how people function in safety critical industries. 

We discuss the need to focus more on the socio-technical system that seafarers operate within and gain some insight on why we must think closely about just culture, training, and the onboard work environment. 

Despite having tried to engineer out the human where possible, people are still a vital part of maritime work systems and for this reason we need to prioritise an understanding of human factors.

In this podcast episode we are joined by Lena Brandt from DFDS.

This is the third and final podcast in a three-part series on ESG. In this episode Senior Loss Prevention Manager, Martti, and Loss Prevention Executive, Stephanie, discuss the pivotal role that Loss Prevention plays in reaching ESG targets. 
Covering a little of all three areas (the E, the S, and the G,) we look at sustainability through a loss prevention lens and analyse our contribution. 

This is the second podcast in a three-part series on ESG. In this episode we are joined by the Head of Marine Claims here at Alandia, Johan Henriksson, who paints a picture of how the hull and machinery claims team works with ESG in their daily processes.  
Having explored Alandia’s integration of the UN Principles for Sustainable Insurance in the previous episode, we now dig a little deeper into what that looks like in daily work routines. Claims handling is a core function that must be consistent in reaching high standards, but how does ESG affect the process? Does it change the way we work with our customers and yards/service providers?


Listen in to hear the answers to these questions and more! 


*Note: Although Alandia also offers fixed P&I insurance, due to time constraints this podcast takes a focused approach in concentrating mainly on H&M as the spearhead of the business. We intend to release P&I related materials soon to address this important and complex area of our work!

This is the first podcast in a three-part mini-series on ESG. In this episode we are joined by Alandia’s Communications Director, Marina Stenfors, who gives us an overview of how Alandia as an insurance company commits to ESG goals. In the Spring of 2021 Alandia joined the UN Principles for Sustainable Insurance (as the second Finnish insurance company to do so), and we ask Marina to explain how ESG is rooted at the core of the business and how it is being integrated throughout the company.  
Listen in to gain some insight on ESG in marine insurance, and don’t forget to come back for the next episode in this three-part series where we will look at ESG from a claim’s perspective!

In this podcast episode we have the pleasure of being joined by Unni Einemo, Director of the International Bunker Industry Association (IBIA), who shares her extensive knowledge on the world of bunkers. We discuss marine fuel as a whole and take a look at how different stakeholders play their part. We also hear about how issues are being handled at the IMO, where Unni is a representative, and get some insight on the uptake of bunker licensing schemes and mass flow metering systems.
