Sustainability Report

Working preventively

For us, the environment and safety are something that everyone needs to take responsibility for, and that’s why we’ve been working on involving all of our employees in safety work. This involves discussing safety-related questions at meetings and meet-ups in all departments and by promoting active experience-sharing across the whole company. Raised safety awareness increases passenger security and also provides a high level of preparedness in case an accident or illness should occur.

Examples of non-conformance, accidents and dangerous situations are reported internally and then analysed and associated with improvement measures which further increase safety. Our internal auditors carry out safety audits twice a year, and their findings are reported to the head of safety and are used as the basis for improvement work. Every year, audits and safety briefings are also carried out by the authorities and classification societies. Their findings are also used to further develop our work towards improving safety for both employees and passengers.

ForSea has its own vessel simulator which is an important tool in our safety work. By simulating different scenarios, navigators and other key employees receive regular training in how to handle risk and crisis situations. In 2018, the decision was made to relocate the simulator to a more fit for purpose site connected to ForSea’s head office.

The transportation of hazardous cargo is carried out in accordance with the current legal framework by employees who undergo regular internal training sessions. This is then evaluated yearly by an external adviser. The adviser also participates in ForSea’s Hazardous Cargo group, which follows the latest developments in the area and provides suggestions for improvement in routine and working practices where required.
