QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

SAFE OPERATION
Safety awareness among our employees is vital to our operation. We are constantly evaluating our performances in order to reduce the risk of accidents or incidents involving crew, cargo, the environment or our vessels.

 

QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
In our quality management system, we have a set of company policies on quality, safety and environmental pollution prevention that are available on request.

The policies have been developed in recognition of the international ISO9001:2000 and ISO14001 standards, as well as the International Safety Management System (ISM Code), and the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code). In addition, Lloyd's Register of Shipping and Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance have certified that the standards and codes before they were included in our quality management system.

ISO 9001 is the international standard defining systematic requirements for Quality Management Systems. It covers topics such as commitment to quality, customer focus, employee competence and process management.

ISO 14001 is the international standard for Environmental Management Systems. It addresses specific environmental aspects to find a balance between maintaining profitability and reducing environmental impact.
