Talent Cultivation
Seafarer Safety Management
To protect the work environment of seafarer on ships, all vessels in the fleet currently pass regular audits by flag states and classification societies, while also obtaining International Safety Management Code (ISM Code) and Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) certificates. For risks faced by shipboard work such as variable climate and medical inconvenience, relevant management policies and measures are formulated to ensure personnel safety, vessel safety, and cargo safety. Through shipboard auditing, supervision, and vessel boarding visit mechanisms, and systematic implementation of management records and tracking, dual supervision of personnel performance and vessel maintenance is achieved, improving overall vessel operation and navigation safety.
Seafarers training is also an important part of the Company's maritime safety improvement. In addition to enhancing competencies, we require all crew members to receive pre-duty occupational safety training before boarding, including: maritime case explanations, company ISM policies, latest convention legal requirements, occupational safety awareness, etc., and provide personal protective equipment to prevent accidents. We also regularly send occupational safety and health communications, introducing seafarer occupational safety and health concepts at all levels. To meet modern environmental demands, seafarer training also strengthens courses on vessel clean energy and compliance with environmental regulations of various countries.
All vessel operations undergo risk assessment, with the Marine Department and fleet regularly holding safety management review meetings and vessel safety meetings, establishing standard operations according to vessel safety management systems with zero industrial safety accidents as the goal. Through training, we actively promote emergency evacuation procedures when danger occurs and urge crew members to report to direct supervisors according to procedures. The Company regularly implements various drills to enhance seafarer response capabilities, ensuring that when emergency incidents occur, shore management units and seafarers can communicate effectively and take appropriate emergency response measures.

International Talent
To implement comprehensive talent cultivation policies, the Company encourages employees to gain cross-departmental work experience after two to three years of capability in the same position, even challenging overseas work to develop comprehensive talents. In 2024, the Company continued promoting employee rotation systems, viewing this as key to company talent development, and provided a total of 23 shipboard training opportunities to expand employees’ understanding of the industry chain and operational sites. In the future, overseas training programs and other initiatives will continue to be promoted, assigning promising employees to overseas regional centers for training or apprenticeships to enhance employees' international perspectives.
