Elektrans Safety and Security Day



We are very pleased to announce our first ever annual “Safety and Security Day” being celebrated throughout the Elektrans Group, ship as shore, on 29th September, 2016.

As prudent asset and risk managers, the Elektrans Group recognizes that there is a clear link between a strong Company HSSEQ performance, a human element focus and a strong sustainable Elektrans business performance.

The annual Elektrans ‘Safety and Security day’ is meant as a time out during which we jointly all hands on deck reflect on, discuss and find new ways on how we can further improve our HSSEQ performance overall as a company, team as individuals. The glue that keeps it all together is a strong company safety culture and mindset which we want to further nourish.

We believe in constant improvement as a key driver to our success, and we must never become complacent on our past results nor take good HSSEQ performance for granted.

The concept of our ‘HSSEQ’ is based on the five key pillars which together constitute the scope of Health, Safety, Security, Environment and Quality. The HSSEQ scope is linked and interdependent to the Elektrans Company and our Human Element factor. Our new Human Element concept logo displays this clearly in a three-in-one logo.

Shipping is perhaps the foremost international of all industries. Shipping enables globalisation as does it yield the most cost efficient and energy efficient transport mode of all.

Global trade and prosperity is directly dependent on maritime shipping.

We are proud to be part of the global shipping industry, as do we constantly strive to take responsibility setting higher safety and Security industry standards in collaboration with our relevant stakeholders.

Yet astonishing the vast majority of the public remain utterly unaware of the importance of a well-functioning shipping industry and how same influences their day to day lives.

Global free trade and cost efficient seaborne logistics is dependent on safe and secure conditions.

This year, the World Maritime Day theme provides an opportunity to put that right.

It gives an opportunity for the shipping community to tell its story: the story of an industry that, in terms of efficiency, safety, environmental impact and its contribution to global trade is unmatched by any other transport sector; the story of shipping – which is, truly, indispensable to the world.

We at Elektrans believe that sustainability of shipping cannot be achieved without strong foundation pillars of safety and security.

Please do all actively participate as embrace the Elektrans Group annual Safety and Security Day and allow us to request all to sspread the message of “Shipping – Indispensable to the world” and drive public awareness of our industry as true maritime ambassadors!

Wish you all safe and secure operations on greener seas!
