Work for Safety

The Company puts the highest priority on safe operation of its vessels and makes continuous efforts to improve its safety performance.

Koyo Kaiun has complied with the ISM code since 1996, refining the Koyo Safety System (KSS) which was already in use. Vessels such as product and chemical tankers require sophisticated technology and any accidents could result in a disaster. Thus, the Company places extra emphasis on retaining experienced and high-quality crew for its vessels. The combined efforts of good crew, good help from shore, and good management are an absolute necessity in living up to the social expectations placed upon the tanker industry. Koyo Kaiun is striving for this objective every day.

We have an excellent training program that allows cadets to improve their skills.
