Safety

Hartman Shipping is constantly striving for a zero incident/accident working environment. Hartman continuously and actively identifies risks on board and provides training programs on various risk matters. A reporting and monitoring system (ISM) is in place for analysis and management.

Training
Hartman Shipping ensures that the vessels comply with or are ahead of the latest Quality, Health, Safety, Security and Environmental regulations. In co-operation with the crewing and technical department, they increase the crew’s awareness of safety and environment by means of information and instructions.. In house training for ships crew is provided to understand the risk factors for all ship operations.

Environment

Crew, Technical and Operations try to minimise fuel consumption, and, subsequently, less air emissions (sulphur, nitrogen, CO-2)

Hartman Shipping continuously searches for new ways to optimise the efficiency of vessels’ propulsion systems and to facilitate economic sailing. Behavioural change and technical measures aim to reduce electricity and fuel consumption on board. The ships have been constructed with highly efficient engines, advanced energy-efficient rudders and their hull have modern coatings to minimise resistance. Special attention is given to trim and speed optimisation. Vessels use weather routing systems to track and avoid bad weather and optimise voyage conditions.
