Talent Cultivation
Seafarer Safety Management
To improve sailing safety, the Company has developed relevant safety management policies and measures according to the ISM CODE in response to the risks of changing weather and medical inconveniences that seafarers face when working on ships and set up the Fleet Quality Management Team and Fleet Management Team A. Through the shipboard audit and supervision or the boarding visit mechanism, the overall ship operation and sailing safety were elevated. The training for seafarers aims to improve their competences and raising their occupational health and safety awareness by elaborating on the maritime cases, the ISM policy of the Company, and the latest conventions, laws and regulations. In light of the call for emissions reduction to protect the environment in recent years, the seafarer training was also improved to include courses on clean energy for ships and compliance with environmental regulations worldwide.
International Talent
Based on the all-round talent cultivation policy, the Company encourages employees to gain experience from working in a different unit or even overseas after staying in the same position for 2 or 3 years to build enough competency in order to develop comprehensive skills. The Company will continue to promote employee rotation which is the key to the Company's talent development. In the future, we will continue implementing overseas relevant programs to dispatch employees with potential to each regional center overseas for training to broaden their global horizons.
