Ocean Network Express (ONE) initiates Marine Safety and Quality Campaign 2020, in order to reiterate the marine navigation safety practices.

VQS inspections

ONE has launched a new self-inspection challenge for vessels, replacing their previous (VQS) inspections

As a charterer, Ocean Network Express has carried out onboard Vessel Quality Standard (VQS) inspections, since the start of its operations, in April 2018. In line with their core values, these inspections have enabled ONE to offer a reliable and quality service to their valued customers.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, ONE has launched a new self-inspection challenge for vessels, replacing their previous (VQS) inspections, which are currently suspended. The self-inspection challenge will be undertaken by the ships’ crew, as part of the ONE Safety and Quality Campaign 2020.

Marine Safety and Quality Campaign 2020

The Marine Safety and Quality Campaign 2020 campaign will run from July through to December 2020, in order to maintain the safety and service quality of ONE’s fleet, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic period.

All vessels under ONE’s operation are encouraged to identify and make good on any potential defects, using a ONE self-checklist. A VQS Excellent Cooperation award will be given to the most cooperative and motivated vessels.

Raising safety awareness

Through the Marine Safety and Quality Campaign, ONE intends to raise safety awareness in collaboration with its business partners, further extending its efforts in safe and efficient operations. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and into the future, ONE will continue to provide a reliable and quality service.
