The Centenary DVD: “The Ship Safety Trust - safer ships, preventing loss”

Drawing upon Steamship Mutual’s experience derived from a century of service to the shipping industry, a new loss prevention DVD has been produced for the centenary. The film describes the work of The Ship Safety Trust and the wide-ranging and innovative contribution it has made to promoting safety at sea.

The DVD is available from the Club and has been produced, without cost to the Club’s Membership, through the financial support of the Trust, established over 16 years ago to support shipboard safety and other loss prevention initiatives.
