The company endeavours to promote a safety culture on board the vessels which leads to the reduction and elimination of accidents which involve injuries to ships’ personnel and damage to property and the environment. However, in order to accomplish the above the commitment from the highest level of the company is of vital importance. The company by promoting a safety culture is aiming at upgrading seafarers’ lifestyle increasing value for customers and stakeholders.
