Culture, training AND inclusion: our approach
ASP builds safety and inclusive culture through well-established, industry-recognised frameworks. We are regularly conducting culture surveys (diagnosis) across our fleets. Based on these insights, we create a development plan that includes senior officer and crew training, plus engagement from shore teams. Repeating this cycle helps our organisations and fleets strengthen safety culture, reduce incidents and injuries and achieve long-term resilience at sea and ashore:
- Regular HSS and E meetings: Weekly onboard and monthly shore-based safety sessions
- No blame culture: Transparent and proactive reporting of safety concerns
- Drug and alcohol policies: Strict global testing and enforcement policies
- Routine safety training: Continuous crew training to uphold best-in-class safety standards
- Dedicated gender diversity initiatives: Clear pathways and mentoring for female officers
- Inclusive workplace practices: Active engagement with WISTA, Diversity Study Group, and other partners
- Fair and supportive environment: Equal opportunities and inclusive policies across all fleet operations
