This policy applies to all personnel on board the Company’s fleet vessels. When within port limits, all crew must strictly comply with applicable local laws.

The Company will cooperate fully with authorities in prosecuting any crew member under the influence or in possession of illegal substances. Violators, facilitators, or concealers will face strict actions, including dismissal.

Senior Management (Master, C/E, C/O, and 2/E) is responsible for enforcing this policy on board.

All seafarers will undergo Drug & Alcohol testing either before joining or immediately thereafter. Random testing may also be conducted by the Company or authorities.

  • Use, possession, distribution, or smuggling of illicit or non-prescription drugs or paraphernalia
