| Message from the Managing Director
of KLSM Singapore, Captain Toshikazu Saito My sincere thanks to all our Sea Going and Shore staff for the hard work put in during the past year. Year 2010 started with uncertainties because of the continuing worldwide recession, but by April things started looking better which resulted in our laid up vessels being reactivated and put into service. Laying up of large container vessels was a challenge and we saw through the crisis successfully by proper planning, cost saving and most importantly your patience.  Managing Director: Capt. T. Saito KLSM Singapore celebrated its 5th Anniversary in December 2010, having officially started operations from 1st Sep 2005. Today the office strength has grown to FORTY staff, managing TWENTY FOUR vessels. The growth is not only an achievement but also the faith “K”Line has on KLSM Singapore. In the years to follow more environment friendly vessels with newer technology is expected to add to the list of vessels that will be managed by KLSM Singapore. In the past five years we have grown step by step in Ship Management Activities including training. As regards to training our ATSI system has been a great success as a ‘Floating Training Centre”. The training imparted by ATSI has shown reduction in accidents, injuries and observations in Vetting/PSC/Flag State Inspections. Additionally the trend of incidents is improving continuously. The world has moved to a stage where everyone in business is aware of the fact that environment issues are the order of the day. Our customers are environmentally aware and evaluate service providers by the degree of concern shown towards the environment. By means of our EMS we have demonstrated that we care for the environment and society. With the continuous support from every member of the KLSM family and ‘Safety First’ as the company’s motto, KLSM will continue to strive towards providing excellent ship management services and thrive by the hard work put in by the seagoing and shore staff. My Best Wishes to all of you and wish you safe voyages. Warm Regards, |
