Technical documents

The JNRC technical documents are largely produced and maintained by the JNRC Survey and Engineering Sub-Committee. The technical documents are all issued primarily as guidelines, and fall into two broad categories:

  • Good Practice Guidelines
  • Guideline Scopes of Work (SOW) with combined and supporting Codes of Practice (COP) for Marine Warranty Survey and other Risk Consultant activity carried out as an assurance activity as part of wider insurance provision.

Lessons learned

The JNRC publishes an educational resource designed to raise greater awareness of major upstream energy losses and incidents. These lessons learned initiative aims to:

  • Assist in the prevention of major incidents reoccurring through information sharing with clients.
  • Promote easily and readily available retrieval of loss and lessons learned information.
  • Promote lessons learned training as part of formal education programmes and role induction for energy insurance professionals.

The LON provides a technical focus, and as such are not intended to be a claims resource.
