ACCIDENT STATS
The UKs Department for Transport estimates 1.2 in a hundred port employees is likely to experience an accident in a given year. But Port Skills and Safety Ltd estimates 2.8 per 100 will suffer a mishap though they use a different definition of port employment, slanted in favour of blue collar roles.
The Club said that its latest combined gross claims estimate for the three hurricanes is approximately US$64m – a reduction on the estimates thought possible in the immediate wake of the storms. Through its reinsurance programme the Club is extensively protected and forecasts its net exposure will be approximately US$2.5m after facultative, treaty and quota share recoveries.
The DfT statistics also indicate that ports directly provide 54,000 jobs in the UK – from stevedores to office and management staff.
