Piracy and armed robbery at sea is an organized and persistent criminal activity prevalent in many parts of the world.
It is essential that the precautionary measures to reduce the risk of piracy and armed robbery as well as ship protection measures are in place to protect seafarers, the ship and cargo.
Kyoei Tanker is trying to continuously enhance both the precautionary measures and the ship protection measures of the company's fleet through the sharing information between ship and shore and conducting the Risk Assessment.

Establishing Risk Management System

Despite application of the Safety Security Plan and Emergency Response/Response to Contingency Plan, if a marine casualty occurs, we have sufficient structures in place to minimize damages to human life, environment, and property.
We conduct emergency response drills for accidents together with our charterers, seamen, and shore-side staff, and continually review the functions of all our safety systems. Furthermore, we have our seamen perform regular drills, and provide them with education and training on how to respond and act in case of an emergency.
