SAFETY & QUALITY
IAS aims to provide healthy and safe working conditions, to promote safety and have pollution-free and environmentally safe operating practices.
In IAS, Safety takes precedence and is pursued and implemented, strictly and religiously.
The company has a proactive safety culture in place.
Initiatives to integrate and implement strict safety measures for protection and preservation of the environment have helped to uphold company’s non-compromising attitude towards safety.
In doing so, a key performance driver is the current edition of Tanker Management and Self-Assessment (TMSA) programme. We have built an Integrated Management System (IMS) for all our ships & management offices.
TMSA and other industry guidelines such as Exxon Mobil MESQAC are the backbone upon which our operating procedures are based.
We work in compliance with the internationally recognized OHSAS 18001 and International Safety Management (ISM) standards. But standards alone are not enough. We strive to embed safety into personal actions.
Ships face threats from terrorism & Piracy for which adequate counter measures have been provided. We take all necessary measures including industry-recognized, best practices on board our vessels to provide the highest level of security for our employees and customers.
Our environmental management system is certified to the international ISO 14001 standard and we invest significantly in lowering emissions and optimizing energy efficiency.
Our quality assurance process exceeds ISO 9001 standards. We continuously review and improve our ISM system with feedback from day-to-day operations, customers and stakeholders, operational performances and trends reporting.
