Safety onboard

Environmental and safety issues have always been integral to NORDEN’s way of conducting business. The Company is continuously striving to heighten safety for our staff at sea. Protecting the environment is constantly in focus, as well. Our existing procedures, such as computer-based training programmes and electronic document handling, are particularly helpful in our efforts to meet regulatory requirements and remain best in class among our peers in the shipping industry.

The Company measures its occupational health and safety performance at sea by two parameters: the number of losttime accidents calculated per one million man hours (LTI frequency rate) and reported near misses. The LTI frequency rate gives an indication of accidents that actually occurred, whereas near misses are a measure of the focus on safety onboard. In 2007, NORDEN launched a campaign to increase safety onboard by focusing on near misses – in order for the crews to learn from them right away and be more careful to avoid personal injury, illnesses, accidents or equipment damage. This is supplemented by frequent briefings on board the vessels, and NORDEN’s own inspectors check all safety aspects in connection with their inspections.
