CARGO OPERATION POLICY

At Century Ship Management, we understand that safe cargo operations are intrinsically linked to our overall business performance. We are relentlessly dedicated to continuously improving our standards, always prioritizing the safety of our crew and the prevention of pollution during every stage of cargo handling—from loading and stacking to securing and unloading all types of goods.

Our comprehensive Safety Management System (SMS) and various ship-specific handbooks detail our rigorous procedures for safe cargo operations. By diligently following these, Century Ship Management aims to:

• Guarantee a Safe Environment: Ensure the safe application of procedures and create a secure working environment for all cargo operations.

• Mitigate Risks: Provide robust protection against all identified risks associated with cargo handling.

• Enhance Preparedness: Elevate the proficiency of both our shore-based and sea-going personnel, empowering them to effectively prepare for and respond to any emergency related to safety and environmental protection.

• Ensure Full Compliance: Adhere strictly to all relevant regulations, including flag state and international laws, guidelines, and industry best practices.

• Oversee Every Stage: Guarantee meticulous care from the moment cargo is loaded until it is safely discharged.

• Communicate Hazards: Inform all personnel about known hazards associated with specific cargo, detailing how these might impact the vessel, individuals, and the environment.

• Provide Expert Training: Ensure that all personnel involved in the carriage of freight receive adequate training and have access to and proper instruction on the use of appropriate equipment.
