Welcome to Ship of the Year
At Stolt Tankers our commitment to excellence in performance and zero harm for people and the environment is at the forefront of how we run our operations. The Ship of the Year (SOTY) competition is an important measure of our progress towards this goal.
In 2006, Stolt Tankers launched a competition to identify the ‘best of the best’ across its entire fleet. Each year the winner and runners-up receive a donation to the ship’s communal onboard welfare fund. The aim of SOTY is to recognise excellence and raise standards across the organisation. Ships and crew are assessed on a range of performance criteria covering safety, port state and customer inspections, audit results, off-hire, claims and cost-efficiency.
The competition is ultimately a celebration of the hard work, dedication and strict adherence to health and safety procedures that go into serving our customers and that are practiced by our crew every day.
