# Risk Assessment — Additional Passengers: Events Alongside This risk assessment is the standing pre-populated template for static charter events on **M/Y WAVE** whilst the vessel is secured alongside a berth or pontoon. It must be reviewed by the master, tailored for each specific event, and endorsed by the Designated Person Ashore (DPA) before submission to the Cayman Islands Shipping Registry (CISR) or the vessel's insurer.

Event Date(s) TO BE COMPLETED
Event Location TO BE COMPLETED — berth name, port, country
Actual Guest Numbers TO BE COMPLETED
Prepared by Master: NAME
Endorsed by (DPA) Christophe Guegan
This template must be tailored for each event. Fields marked TO BE COMPLETED must be filled in by the master before the risk assessment is considered valid. The DPA must review and sign the completed assessment before submission to CISR. --- ## Risk Rating Matrix Risk is assessed by combining the **likelihood** of harm with the **severity** of harm. Where the resulting risk factor is rated **Medium or above**, additional control measures must be implemented and recorded in the table at Section 3.
Slight Harm Moderate Harm Extreme Harm
Very Unlikely Very Low Very Low Medium
Unlikely Very Low Low High
Likely Low High Very High
Very Likely Low Very High Very High
