Singapore's APL, now a CMA CGM unit, has clinched the Safety at Sea Award at the CrewConnect Global Awards 2018 in the Philippines in recognition of the shipping line?s best practices and initiatives that have led to a reduction in risk to life at sea.
'The accolade re-affirms APL's safety first emphasis on board our vessels and at the terminals that we operate. Through safety protocols and training, APL imbues in our seafarers the right attitude towards safety management,' said global head of safety Dennis Yee.
The carrier adopts policies and processes that safeguard early detection, prevention and mitigation of risks associated with the business to enable safe and secure operations. In 2017 the company reported its 10th consecutive year of zero fatality and a low lost-time injury frequency rate of 1.55 incidents per million man-hours.
Besides safeguarding its assets and cargoes, the shipping line also renders the voluntary support of its sea crews to maritime safety. Through the Automated Mutual assistance Vessel Rescue (AMVER) Maritime Safety Programme, APL joins 160 merchant shipping companies to provide a worldwide safety network that assists search and rescue coordinators in responding to emergencies at sea.
