AMO-Manned T-AGOS vessels and other AMO-manned vessels in the Maersk Line Limited fleet hold eight of the top 15 positions in the company's roster for longest period without a lost time incident.
"Just about the entire T-AGOS fleet is in the top one-quarter for safety issues," said Capt. John Marshall Fink, master of the AMO-manned T-AGOS vessel USNS Loyal. "I'm so proud of this."
AMO-manned vessels with the longest spans of no lost time incidents include the USNS Effective (9.7 years), USNS Impeccable (8.7 years), Maersk Virginia (8.3 years), Maersk Carolina (6.8 years), Maersk Missouri (6.8 years), USNS Observation Island (6.3 years), USNS Loyal (3.8 years) and the USNS Able (2.6 years).
A lost time incident (LTI) is defined as an accident resulting in a crew member sustaining an injury requiring him or her to miss at least one shift, and the number of LTIs occurring onboard a ship serve as a maritime industry standard for measuring safety performance.
The prevention of LTIs through constant care, awareness and safety education is key to MLL's company-wide safety program, "Drive to Zero." The program's name is derived from its stated goal of ensuring shipboard safety by striving to eliminate all accidents.
