Safety is the very basis of shipping and other industrial activities. At A.P.Moller Singapore, we regard safety and environmental protection with the same high priority as we do our commercial and operational matters. Because without safety, commercial and operational success would not be possible. Each employee has as their prime responsibility the obligation at all times to protect themselves, their colleagues, the vessel and its equipment, and the cargoes.

We utilize rigorous training and frequent realistic drills to be certain that we continuously raise the standard and improve the safety record throughout the Company. This is especially required at sea, where the marine environment places exacting and severe demands on people and equipment. The ocean is unforgiving of lapses in judgment and tolerances are narrow, and putting safety aside even for a moment could result in a tragic accident.

Consequently, we strive to reduce risks through the highest standard of well-maintained ships and the most professional employees. A.P. Moller Singapore is also committed to the protection of the environment.

The entire Group - both management and employees, both ashore and at sea and constantly monitor operations to ensure that we live up to our policy of minimizing our impact on the oceans. To do this, we strictly adhere to regulations and industry codes and, where no code exists, we support and conduct research to improve environmental performance.

Our crew consists of people who make their living from the sea, and who therefore, have a vested interest in protecting the ocean environment. It is, after all, the platform on which our vessels operate. Therefore, an integral part of our philosophy - and business policy - is that we will protect the oceans and shorelines.
