Since 2021, Red Sea Global (RSG) has successfully transported over 2.5 million passengers offshore and moved more than 150,000 cargo units across 50,000 trips – without recording a single Lost Time Injury.

The company’s fleet maintenance teams played a pivotal role in these remarkable milestones, ensuring vessels remained in optimal condition through dry docking, repairs, and ongoing operations.

At the heart of RSG’s marine safety success, however, is the advanced Vessel Traffic System (VTS). This state-of-the-art platform provides 24/7 monitoring of vessel movements, offering real-time data, weather updates, navigational charts, and hazard alerts. The VTS plays a crucial role in ensuring strict adherence to safety measures and enables immediate corrective action in response to any emerging risks.

Clear and consistent communication has also been key. Regular meetings, audits, and safety sessions foster a collaborative environment, while observation reporting campaigns encourage team members to identify and report potential hazards. These reports are thoroughly analyzed, and swift corrective actions are implemented to enhance preventive strategies.

Training and emergency preparedness are integral to RSG’s approach, too. Regular drills ensure that all team members remain vigilant and proactive in upholding the latest safety standards. Additionally, the continuous updates to the safety management system enable the company to stay ahead of current and future challenges.

This flawless safety record emphasizes the proactive collaboration of all teams involved and reflects the success of RSG’s Safer Together campaign. Safer Together promotes the adoption of global best practices through heightened awareness, targeted health and safety measures, and recognition of exceptional contributions. It also fosters a collaborative environment, empowering all stakeholders to work together to achieve superior health and safety outcomes.

Looking forward, RSG’s commitment to safety will only strengthen as the company continues to grow. The modernization of its fleet and adoption of advanced technologies form the foundation of RSG’s sustainable future. By leading in marine safety and environmental responsibility, the company is positioning itself as a global benchmark for safe, sustainable marine operations.

These outstanding achievements underscore RSG’s dedication to providing a safe and secure environment for its employees, contractors, and stakeholders, exemplifying the organization’s strong safety culture embedded throughout its operations. As the company explores new frontiers, safety remains a core value, ensuring the well-being of its people and the success of its mission.
