01
Safety management
Documented procedures for navigation, cargo, maintenance and emergencies, audited internally and externally.
Overview
Safety is fundamental to every voyage
Safety is the foundation of every voyage. Across the 58 vessels we own and charter, safety management covers crew welfare, navigation, cargo stowage and securing, fire prevention and emergency preparedness, supported by an ISO 45001-certified management system.
Crew competence is central. Seafarers receive training beyond minimum requirements, including drills, bridge resource management and dangerous goods handling. Fatigue management, fair rest hours and access to welfare support are treated as safety issues, not only welfare ones.
Every incident and near miss is reported and investigated, and lessons are shared across the fleet. Our operations centre monitors weather and route conditions around the clock to support masters in making safe decisions.

How we work
A practical, accountable approach
Our teams connect operational decisions with measurable priorities and clear communication.
02
Crew training
Regular drills and specialist courses, including bridge resource management and dangerous goods handling.
03
Seafarer welfare
Rest-hour management, connectivity and access to support services protect crew health and wellbeing.
04
Cargo securing
Accurate weights, correct stowage and lashing checks reduce the risk of container losses in heavy weather.
05
Incident learning
Near misses and incidents are investigated and lessons shared across the fleet to prevent recurrence.
06
Route monitoring
Round-the-clock monitoring of weather and sea conditions supports masters in planning safe passages.

How it works
From intent to measurable action
A consistent process helps translate priorities into decisions, delivery and review.
- 01
Define the movement
Capture origin, destination, transport mode, cargo weight and relevant shipment or service details. Confirm whether the requested estimate covers a single leg or a multi-leg logistics chain.
- 02
Establish the boundary
Identify included activities and lifecycle scope. For comparable logistics-chain reporting, apply consistent boundaries and disclose exclusions, allocation choices and any material data limitations.
- 03
Apply activity and factors
Calculate transport activity and apply appropriate mode-specific emissions factors. The GLEC Framework provides logistics emissions accounting guidance and is aligned with ISO 14083 requirements for quantifying and reporting transport-chain emissions.
- 04
Review and use responsibly
Check units, assumptions and available data quality, then interpret the result as an estimate. Retain supporting inputs and do not present indicative outputs as independently verified inventory figures.

What to consider
| Consideration | Why it matters | Practical response |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Defines what is included | Agree boundary before comparison |
| Operational context | Availability differs by route and provider | Confirm details with the service team |
| Evidence | Supports credible decisions | Keep source records and assumptions |
| Review | Conditions and data can change | Reassess periodically |
