While last year were guided by our Mission Statement, this year, we simply cannot ignore the massive disruption that the Covid crisis has brought along. Hence, this year, our slogan has been -

“Partners in Safety in a Disrupted World”

A committee was set up within MSI consisting of Senior Management, Technical, Operation, and HSSQE staff. Data for 2020 in the following categories were used as measuring tools to help us decide on the “Best Ship of the Year”:

1. Personal Injury Cases (LTIF)

2. Non Injury Cases (eg. Navigational incidents. machinery failures, fire, spills, security incidents)

3. PSC Inspections and Detentions

4. Unscheduled Off Hire and claims

5. Vetting or RightShip Inspections– Vessels individual Performance based on inspection Risk Rating.

6. Vessel rejections by Oil Major leading to Loss of business

7. Overdue PMS
