Safety Is Not
Negotiable
At SKS Marine Supply LLC, zero incidents is not just a target — it is the standard we hold ourselves to on every operation, every day.
Our HSE Policy
Our HSE Policy
SKS Marine Supply LLC is committed to conducting all operations in a manner that protects the health, safety and welfare of our employees, contractors, clients and the public. We believe that all incidents are preventable and that zero harm is an achievable goal.
Our Commitment
We will provide and maintain a safe working environment, ensure all personnel are trained and competent for their roles, comply with all applicable legislation and regulations and continuously improve our HSE performance through monitoring, review and learning.
Our HSE Pillars
Our HSE management system is built on six core pillars that govern how we plan, execute, and review every marine operation.
Safety Leadership
Safety starts at the top. Our management team leads by example, ensuring that every decision — from procurement to operations — prioritizes the wellbeing of our crew, clients and the communities we operate in.
Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment
We systematically identify hazards and assess risks before every operation. Our risk management process ensures that controls are in place before work begins and that all personnel understand the risks associated with their tasks.
Crew Training & Competency
Our crews are our greatest asset. We invest in ongoing training and certification to ensure every team member is competent, confident and prepared to operate safely in demanding offshore and nearshore environments.
Procedures & Compliance
All operations are governed by documented procedures aligned with international maritime standards. We maintain full compliance with flag state requirements, port state control and client-specific HSE requirements.
Incident Reporting & Investigation
We operate a transparent incident reporting system. All incidents, near-misses and unsafe conditions are reported, investigated and used to drive continuous improvement across our operations.
Environmental Stewardship
We are committed to protecting the Caribbean's marine environment. Our operations comply with MARPOL regulations and we actively work to minimize our environmental footprint through responsible waste management and spill prevention.
Ready for Any
Emergency
Every vessel and operation has a documented Emergency Response Plan. Our crews train regularly for man-overboard, fire, flooding, and evacuation scenarios to ensure a fast, coordinated response when it matters most.
Pre-Departure Safety Checks
All vessels undergo a comprehensive pre-departure safety inspection covering navigation equipment, life-saving appliances, firefighting equipment, and machinery.
Toolbox Talks
Before every operation, the crew gathers for a toolbox talk to review the task, identify hazards, confirm controls, and ensure everyone understands their role.
Permit to Work System
High-risk marine operations are controlled through a formal Permit to Work (PTW) system. Specific PTW categories include: Hot Work (welding, cutting, grinding near flammable materials), Confined Space Entry (tanks, voids, enclosed bilge spaces), Working at Height (mast work, crane operations, elevated deck access), Diving & Subsea Operations, Electrical Isolation and Pressure Testing. Each permit requires a designated Responsible Person, documented risk controls and a formal close-out inspection.
