Health, Safety, Environment & Quality

Health & Safety

The health and safety of our employees, contractors, visitors and clients is core to the way we do business. Our operations are underpinned by our Target 365 culture, an in-house developed strategy to deliver ‘a Perfect Day, Every Day’ and is our shared belief that an incident-free workplace is possible.

Supporting our Target 365 culture and providing the tools to ensure we focus on the elimination of incidents whilst undertaking high-risk activities are the MMA Critical Controls. The Critical Controls summarise our operating standards and set the mandatory requirements for safety across our operations, with particular focus on our high-risk activities.

This year to date, MMA’s Total Recordable Case Frequency Rate (TRCF) was 0.77 per million hours worked. When compared to our industry and the industries in which we support, our world-class results confirm the effectiveness of our Target 365 approach as we continue to evolve and produce sustainable improvements in safety culture and performance.

MMA is a regular contributor to industry health and safety forums and is member of the International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) Asia Pacific Region and our Executive General Manager HSEQ, Risk and Assurance is the Vice Chair of the Global HSSE Committee. MMA is also a contributor to Safer Together WA/NT, an Australian not-for-profit, member-led organisation committed to seeking industry collaboration towards building a strong and consistent safety culture within our industry.

Environment

MMA remains committed to achieving the highest standard of environmental performance across all of its business activities.

In support of our overarching ESG strategy, MMA has established a Decarbonisation Working Group which is actively working on operational efficiencies, new technologies and changes in processes to reduce the emissions from our operations. As our emissions predominantly stem from the CO2 emitted by our vessels burning Marine Gas Oil (MGO), a low-sulphur marine fuel, this is our primary area of focus. MMA utilises MGO in comparison to Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) which is utilised by the majority of the shipping industry, and as such, our fuel burn in comparison has a much lower level of carbon emissions. To effectively address and fulfil our commitment towards further reducing our emissions, we have developed a comprehensive decarbonisation strategy with a focus on fuel efficiency initiatives until such a time as alternative fuels for vessels are more readily available.

Quality
