Our Company obtained its ISO 9001:2000 certificate for shore-based ship management services in 1995 and our Document of Compliance, certifying that we are in compliance with the ISM Code, in 1998. We continue to maintain both certifications by continually complying with the safety, quality and efficiency requirements imposed by the certifying bodies. We base our quality and safety management system and maintenance procedures on the requirements of the ISM Code and ISO 9001:2000.

Pursuant to its quality policy, the company is in due compliance with the applicable conventions and regulations as mentioned below:

The Convention provides that ships should be constructed and equipped in a manner to enable the substances to be retained on board at sea and when entering a port, to discharge those substances thus retained into shore reception facilities.
A new MARPOL regulation 13H on the prevention of oil pollution from oil tankers when carrying heavy grade oil (HGO) bans the carriage of HGO in single-hull tankers of 5,000 tons dwt and above after the date of entry into force of the regulation on 5 April 2005, and in single-hull oil tankers of 600 tons dwt and above but less than 5,000 tons dwt, not later than the anniversary of their delivery date in 2008.

The Convention lays down a standard formula for the computation of gross and net tonnage of ships in order to ensure the safety of the vessels.
Further, all our vessels are manned by well qualified and experienced personnel, who operate the vessels with a continuous focus on safety and prevention of environmental pollution.
