manage all fleet related operations.
Our ambition and policy is to protect the asset value whilst trading the ship in a cost effective manner

Reduce our environmental foot print and prevent any environmental incident or marine
pollution,
Minimize all risks raised by the transport of containers, goods and cargo operations,
Foster every employee ashore and seafarers to respect our company commitments,
Implement a continuous improvement behavior.

In the frame of above described core policy, we undertake to:

Comply with all mandatory requirements and further enhance our current management system
with Quality Management initiatives, taking also into account specific stakeholders needs,
Assess regularly health and safety risks and environmental impacts, and perform audits of our
compliance to legal and other requirements,
Ensure continuous shore-based support,
