ISM in Practice

Klaveness Ship Management AS, through the use of funds from the Steinar Mannsverk Memory Foundation, would like to contribute into raising the general awareness on HSE at schools being a part of the NSA program. The program would have the ambition to raise HSE awareness over time on improvement reporting both on quantity (increased number of reports) and quality (good analysis – proper corrective and preventive actions) again leading to a safety culture where HSE is under the skin and in the backbone of both faculty staff and students.

This year the ISM in Practice will take place at University of Cebu and Davao Merchant Marine Academy College Of Southern Philippines on November 2017.

For those Jr. Officers in the KSM fleet who are interested to be the facilitator you may contact the Training Department at Tel no. 478-5132.
