For some, service in in their blood. For others, it's something difficult to understand. Jeanet Blok deals with it every day. She helps clients to fulfill their obligations to comply with mandatory nautical safety regulations at Datema. Statutory safety equipment plays an important role in our industry. The service department of LISA's Premium Member Datema Nautical Safety, takes care of all needs concerning the testing and certification of safety- and rescue equipment all over the world. Whether it is adjusting a compass, inspecting lifejackets, immersion suits, air breathing equipment, an onboard inspection of the EEBD, the fire extinguishers or the CO2 system. As an approved service supplier, recognized by the major classification societies, they need to be on top of their game. I am curious to find out how this works. And more concrete, are there any new regulations on the horizon? _________________ Want to listen to the full episode, watch the replay or join our events? Then join the club!
