M.R.C. DENİZCİLİK (hereinafter called the ‘Company’) is specialised in the management of chemical and product tankers where highly trained staff is needed for the safe operation of the ships. The Company believes that both the ship and office personnel need tobe trained in accordance with the regulations and continuosly developing technology.
The Company is well aware of the fact that having the required certificates and licenses does NOT necessarily mean that the person is suitable for the position mentioned in his license. Provided that the person has been found in compliance with the company manning policy, he is given a complete training prior to joining the vessel and then this training is supported by the basic and specific training given on board. The training at the office on the safety management system of the Company also forms a part of the specific training of the seaman
The Company is very eager to follow the new regulations governing the tanker shipping business and provide training to its staff accordingly. It is a part of the Company’s policy that publications giving information regarding the developments in tanker shipping are received regularly by the head office.
The Company encourages its office staff to visit the vessels and give refreshing training lectures. The Company even requires its office to staff and the Master of the vessel to give training programs beyond the minimum requirements should they deem necessary.
The Company believes that only highly trained personnel can be aware of the environmental safety. The Company strictly requires its personnel to follow the Company Environmental and Safety Policy.
In simple words the Company aims no accidents, no pollution and no injury by implementing this policy.

M.R.C. DENİZCİLİK (hereinafter called the ‘Company’) is a continuously growing company specialised in the management of chemical and oil tankers. The Company aims to keep its fleet consisting of new modern tankers. In this respect the Company considers building new tankers at yards that have an established experience base in tanker building. The Company is well aware of the fact that building tankers with double hull is crucial for environmental protection. As a principle, the Company strictly complies with the regulations regarding new buildings and is very eager to use the latest technology for such buildings. As the Company already has a good level of knowledge of new buildings, It even searches and applies new techonologies to contribute to the environmental protection
The Company is very strict on building tankers that exactly fit to its very specific needs, therefore It usually modifies the yard design or in some cases It may accept a design without any modification. In both cases the Company shows utmost diligence for site supervision and for the approval of the plans. The Company may seek external assistance for the approval of the yard calculations.
It is the Company’s principle to have a total control during the building of the tanker at all times. The Company always maintains a sufficient number of technical personnel for this purpose. For work where specialist assistance is needed, the Company always employs specialists which are well known to the market. The Company is also well aware of the fact that specialist areas supervision requires more attention and diligence. The Company motivates its staff for such a work.
The Company employs ship staff well in advance for the new buildings. It employs ship’s senior officers about two months before the delivery of the vessel and the remaining personnel join the vessel 2-4 weeks before the delivery of the vessel. As the ship staff’s experience is very important for the safe and easy operation of the ships, the Company seeks information from the sea staff operating on Company fleet. The senior officers on board are also involved in the site supervision up to their capacity.
The Company works with the first class suppliers for the construction of the tankers and aims to have good relationships with such parties. Detailed records of previous correspondence is maintained for this.

The company aware of the importance, from the economic and environmental points of view, of the need to reduce, as far as possible, the fuel consumption of ships.
By practising energy conservation the quantity of energy used is reduced while achieving a similar outcome of end use. This practice may result in increase of financial capital and environmental value.
Masters should instill in all those under their command the importance and necessity of maintaining the level of fuel reductions already instigated and, perhaps more importantly, of continually looking at other areas of a ship's operation where potential fuel cost savings could realistically be achieved.
The safety of ship and personnel must always take priority over fuel conservation. Any measures taken must only be introduced after careful assessment has confirmed that there will be no adverse impact upon safety of operations.Modifications to machinery or plant for fuel conservation purposes must not be undertaken without prior approval from us.

The Company is focused on the overall purpose of security training, to help make employees aware of actions they can take to keep information safe, such as correct password usage, using security software to block viruses and spam, repelling social engineering attacks, backing up data and setting appropriate channels to report suspected incidents or violations. Because new vulnerabilities, risks, and hacks arise on a regular basis, new technological developments require continuous monitoring and improvement of security awareness and training guidelines.
The purpose and objective of this Policy is to protect the company's information assets (note 1) from all threats, whether internal or external, deliberate or accidental, to ensure operations continuity, minimize damage and maximize return on investments and relevant industry opportunities.
The management is committed to the following approach:

a) Information and Systems identified as vulnerable to Cyber-attacks will be protected from a loss of confidentiality (note 2), integrity (note 3) and availability (note 4).
b) Regulatory and legislative requirements are to be met.
c) Cyber Security Contingency Plans have been produced for support.
d) Cyber Security training will be available to all staff.
e) All breaches of information security, actual or suspected, will be reported and investigated.

3) The role and responsibility of the Information Security Manager is to manage information security and to provide advice and guidance on implementation of the Cyber Security Policy.
4) All managers are directly responsible for implementing this Policy within their departments
5) It is the responsibility of each employee/crew member to adhere to the Cyber Security Policy.

DEFINITION
Harassment is a form of discrimination which has the purpose or effect of violating the dignity of a person and of creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment.
Bullying is a form of harassment that includes hostile or vindictive behaviour, which can cause the recipient to feel threatened or intimidated. It results in a work environment in which a group of people or an individual may become threatened or intimidated because of the negative or hostile behaviour of another group of people or individual.
Bullying may involve a misuse of power or position and is often persistent and unpredictable. It may be vindictive, cruel or malicious. However it can also arise when a person is unaware of the effect that their behaviour is having on other persons, or does not have any intention to bully.
It is not possible to list every situation or type of behaviour that may amount to harassment or bullying, however examples are listed as the types of behaviour that are unacceptable and in breach of this Policy.
Examples of harassment include:
Examples of bullying at work include:
-insensitive jokes or inappropriate comments related to a person’s age, sex, race, sexual orientation, marital status, age, disability or religion, including comments about their dress, looks, or personal life;
-deliberately excluding someone because of their age, sex, race, sexual orientation, marital status, age, disability or religion;
-abusive, threatening or insulting words and behaviour related to a person’s age, sex, race, sexual orientation, marital status, age, disability or religion;
-treating someone unfavourably because of their age, sex, race, sexual orientation, marital status, age, disability or religion.
In addition, sexual harassment may include:
-unnecessary touching or brushing against another person’s body;
-displaying sexually suggestive or offensive material, e.g. pin-ups;
-requests for sexual favours;
-threat of dismissal, loss of promotion, etc for refusal of sexual favours;
-threatened or actual sexual violence.
-derogatory remarks, often in front of colleagues;
-setting impossible deadlines or tasks;
-insulting or verbally abusing a colleague;
-blocking promotion, training or career progression;
-overbearing management or misuse of power or position;
-criticising a colleague in an over-aggressive, inappropriate or public way;
-undervaluing someone’s effort or contribution;
-intentionally undermining a colleague by overloading and constant criticism.
There are different ways to define harassment, including unwanted conduct affecting the dignity of men and women in the workplace. Some of the laws relating to harassment define it as “unwanted conduct that violates people’s dignity or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment”.
The conduct may be related to age, sex, race, sexual orientation, marital status, disability or religion. You do not have to intend to cause offence for your behaviour to amount to bullying or harassment. The key question is whether the recipient wants you to behave in that way or not. What might be acceptable to you may be offensive and unacceptable to someone else.
