the levels of ambition set out in the Initial Strategy on reduction of
greenhouse gas emissions from ships, including on ship energy
efficiency, alternative fuels and the development of national action
plans to address greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping.

and the training of crew members on safe practices. By
adhering to the SSHEQ policy, ship operators can minimize
the risk of accidents, injuries, and loss of life at sea.

 In conformity with the IMO's mission statement,
the SSHEQ policy is essential for ensuring that
shipping operations are safe, secure,
environmentally responsible, and sustainable. By
implementing the policy on board ships, ship
operators can contribute to the IMO's goal of
ensuring a safe, secure, and efficient shipping
industry that protects the marine environment and
supports global trade.
 All Company employees, shore based and seas going
are responsible for implementing the company's Safety
& Environment Protection Policy.

The Company takes over all the duties and

responsibilities imposed by the ISM Code providing
adequate resources (e.g.technical, financial and human
resources) to ensure that the safety management
objectives will be achieved.
 ISM-related tasks being carried out by the shore-
based personnel or by external entities are outlined in
the SMS and are monitored utilizing the internal audit
procedure.

The Company verifies that all those undertaking

ISM-related tasks perform in accordance with the
established procedures.
 The Company's Management is responsible
for monitoring and reviewing the Safety &
Environment Protection Policy at regular
intervals in order to ensure that it remains
relevant and effective.
