Sovcomflot Group has been steadily retaining mid-positions in rankings compiled by the International Association of Independent Tanker Owners (INTERTANKO) and Q88 in terms of occupational health and safety indicators, which is a good result and confirms quality of management and compliance with high safety standards.
Thee Lost Time Injury Frequency (LTIF) for the Group’s fleet in 2020 was 0.37, 18% down on 2019 (the LTIF for the global tanker fleet, according to INTERTANKO data for 2020, averages 0.47).
The Total Recordable Case Frequency (TRCF) was 0.80, which is also lower by 12% compared to 2019 (the TRCF for the global tanker fleet, according to INTERTANKO data for 2020, averages 1.1).
LTIF and TRCF dynamics, 2016-2020
In 2020 there were no accidents in the SCF fleet that resulted in partial or total disability. The Company considers this to be a significant achievement and thanks the captains and crews of vessels for their commitment to the safety culture and compliance with the requirements set out in safety management system manuals.
SCF Management Services (Dubai) responsible for the technical management of the SCF Group fleet is certified by Green Award – an international environmental organisation that was the first in the world to introduce an environmental assessment system for ships based not only on the ship’s technical characteristics, but also on the professional competence of the crew and management level. Sovcomflot Group has been participating in the Green Award scheme since 1996. Green Award auditors visit SCF’s ships and offices annually. Obtaining approval requires that international conventional requirements governing navigation safety, quality and environmental protection are not just met, but substantially exceeded. At the end of 2020, 19 SCF Group’s ships had Green Award certificates (which is warranted by the specifics of the region of operation).
