(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- A conference is an annual platform for Oman Shipping Company's subsidiary Oman Ship Management Company (OSMC) to share the best safety practices and latest trends in the maritime industry.
During the two-day conference, key areas covered in-depth, ranging from the current regulatory updates in the industry to safety and security onboard vessels. Other non-technical topics such as multi-cultural crew management, on-board procurement, crises management, IT infrastructure and use of social networks were also addressed. Other key note speakers were invited to present their insights on different topics such as vessels inspections, maritime security intelligence and crises communication.
Captain David Stockley, COO of Oman Ship Management Company, said, 'The conference was attended by more than 100 members of offshore staff and business partners.
'The event is our major knowledge sharing platform where we highlight the latest updates in the company and the industry. In this edition, the primary message to all our seafarers was 'Go 7 Zeros' to enhance safety culture in the company by adopting zero accidents, health-related incidents, oil spills, loss of process capabilities, lapses in security, cargo damage and marine and atmospheric pollutions. When it comes to safety all of us has a role to play and make all our operations onboard vessels safe for the seafarers, environment and carried cargo.'
OSMC remains absolutely committed to, and is passionate about, maintaining the highest international standards of safety and environmental responsibility. This has led the company to be awarded The Maritime Stranded Award for Safety and Security 2018 during an event earlier this month in Dubai. He added, 'Events like this Officers' Safety Conference enable us to continue to achieve high standards and to drive home our safety messages, whilst also sharing the latest industry best practices.
