SEA PIONEER SHIPPING CORPORATION

The commitment of the top management to the Safety Procedures with respect to the Environment is continuous and emanates from their sensitivity to the International rules and regulations as well as the developments brought up by various bodies related to the shipping industry.

Experience from the past and the present is used as the basis for the foundation of a pioneer Company in all aspects and mostly in the Safety domain. During all these years in the maritime field, the Company has reached at the conclusion that the same factors which are creating accidents are also creating operational losses as well as cost problems.

Learning from our experience is vital.

For this reason the Company’s Safety Management System is continuously improved via implementation of the new regulations, vessel’s staff proposals and lessons learnt so as to upgrade the less operational parts of this system. The corner stone of the Company’s mentality is the safety culture, the safe operation of all managed vessels and the environment protection.

The company has set the following objectives:

- To comply with applicable international rules, regulations and
requirements,
- To operate vessels under its management without accident(s) or
incident(s) that could endanger its employees, the environment
or assets under its or third party care.
- To adopt a proactive mentality by investigating thoroughly all accidents & incidents occurred onboard managed vessels in order to locate the root cause and by taking all required corrective and preventive actions.
- To motivate its employees onboard and ashore and to inject a safety culture through continuous training onboard and ashore.

In order to meet these objectives, the company has developed and implements a Safety Management System, which:
- Meets all international regulation requirements
- Is based on transparency
- Aims at the motivation of all Company (vessels & Office) staff
- Springs from the systematic accident and incident
investigation and analysis.

All Company employees, shore based and sea going, are responsible for implementing the company’s Health, Safety and Environmental Protection Policy and for contributing to its continuous improvement.
The Company’s Management is responsible for monitoring and reviewing this Policy at regular intervals in order to ensure that it remains always operational and effective and that it is fully adhered by all persons involved.
