SIU-contracted Alaska Tanker Company (ATC) recently reached a remarkable milestone: 10 million man hours without a lost-time injury. According to ATC, this accomplishment covers five years of operations throughout its fleet.ATC President and CEO Anil Mathur credited the SIU for substantially contributing to the company’s outstanding safety record. “Our relationship with the Seafarers International Union has been crucial to our joint success,” he said. “The SIU leadership has an enlightened and long-term view of what is best for their membership. This view matches our view in ATC. We both see safety as deeply personal and not about statistics. Safety is about taking care of ourselves every day, so we can live full lives and earn a good living for our loved ones. Our seafarers have responded with maturity and responsibility to the work environment we have jointly created. The world-class achievement of completing 10 million man hours without a lost time injury truly belongs to the workforce. It has been made possible by the core values we all share.”
Additional information about ATC’s safety achievements will be published in the January edition of the Seafarers LOG. Meanwhile, for more information about the company, check out ATC’s web site HERE
