Marine assurance and loss prevention

At Zeaborn Ship Management we have made Safety our DNA. By joining the voluntary initiative UN Global Compact, Zeaborn Ship Management has made far-reaching commitments in terms of environment protection, employment standards and the fight against corruption.

With Maritime Resource Management (MRM) and the continuous repetition of our challenge and intervention culture we make our managed vessels and life on board safer – and save our customers’ money. Compliance with national and international rules and regulations is an essential basis for achieving this.

TANKER DIVISION “ZEABORN TANKERS”

OUR SAFETY CELEBRATION ZEABORN24

A yearly noon-to-noon global safety celebration, carried out by senior management representatives, calling all managed vessels to talk about thoughts and handling options regarding safety. The goal is to make clear what safety means to each one of us and within our teams. Besides the chance to talk with our seafaring colleagues personally about safety, we engage all crews to provide us with short video clips on the annually varying topic.
