OUR APPROACH TO MARITIME RISK
Risks – high, medium or low – are part of the every day challenge and whilst they may rise and fall in prominence, threats will remain a feature of shipping and they require treatment. Therefore, your risk mitigation solution needs to be as dynamic as the threats you face. PRISM, Dryad’s suite of risk mitigation products and services allows you to escalate or de-escalate your support as risk levels change.
