HSEQ
Health and Safety

The Company Management recognises the necessity and responsibility, not only to provide competent personnel and well-maintained vessels, but also to promote amongst people working for or on behalf of the company a high standard of safety, health and hygiene and environmental awareness and commitment. It is the Company Management's belief that such awareness and commitment which includes proactive attitudes towards HSE issues, must start and transcend from the most senior management level downwards through the whole spectrum of the organisation, including shipboard and shore based personnel.
 

  • To promote safety, hygiene and health and environmental awareness and culture
  • To provide a safe, healthy and environmentally friendly working environment
  • To prevent injury, ill health and related losses and aim for zero Lost Time Incidents (LTIs)
  • To prevent loss of, or damage to property
  • To identify vessel, personnel and environmental hazards and mitigate risks
  • To provide proper training and supervision for all staff
  • To identify and assess health hazards and mitigate risks
  • To develop and implement HSE Management procedures
  • To continuously maintain, review and improve upon the HSEQ IMS and HSE performance
  • To prevent pollution and to set objectives and targets to reduce environmental impact
  • To achieve “Zero Pollution Incidents” on our vessels
  • To ensure full compliance with the requirements of all mandatory rules and regulations
     

The Company Management has therefore endorsed a complete and comprehensive HSEQ Integrated Management System Manual (IMS) that clearly identifies in detail the procedures and measures required to achieve these objectives. The IMS Manual also stresses the importance of giving a high priority and compliance to clients’ own rules, regulations and standards.

This IMS Manual will be kept under constant review for continual improvements and revised accordingly in line with new/changed regulations, Company initiatives and to meet or exceed Client expectations.

 

Environment

Consistent with the Company environmental policy, measurable objectives and targets are set each year regarding significant environmental aspects and recorded in the register under the IMS Manual. The register also lists action plans, improvement programmes and controls for achieving those objectives and targets, as well as key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor progress in achieving the objectives and targets. Resources required to achieve the intended outcomes will be provided. The register is revised each year in the management review regarding the extent to which objectives and targets have been met.

The Company HSEQA Department has responsibility for overall coordination of the environmental management system including monitoring of performance and recommendations for improvement to top management for review.

Quality

The Company's mission is to provide quality service levels that meet or exceed expectations. The Company conducts office based activities related to shipmanagement of a fleet of offshore support vessels and tugs trading worldwide, incorporating the safety and pollution requirements of IMO resolution A741(18), the ISM Code.

The Company is totally committed to achieve the highest management standards in order to satisfy customer requirements and takes into account risk-based thinking (RBT) in planning, review and improvement of the Quality Management System (QMS) and its processes.

There is a constant drive to satisfy requirements, whilst always being mindful of responsibilities to Principals, shareholders, employees and the community. This involves the active participation, endeavour and ideas of all employees with the aim of continually improving the effectiveness of the Quality Management System. These high standards are achieved by operating a quality system that meets or exceeds the requirements of the International Quality Management Standard ISO 9001:2015 and all applicable rules and regulations.

As part of its efforts to ensure continual improvement in the quality of services provided, the Company establishes, implements, monitors and achieves measurable quality improvement objectives. Such objectives are reviewed by Management and updated accordingly to ensure continual improvement.

Compliance with this policy, procedures and work instructions is mandatory and binding upon all employees and quality of service is the responsibility of everyone working for and on behalf of PKRO.

The satisfaction of our Principals and the good reputation of the Company are directly dependent on this working philosophy. Our Integrated Management System is certified to ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 standards by ABS, with a Document of Compliance (DOC) issued by CR Class.
