Vroon Offshore Services awarded Documents of Compliance
Following successful audits at the end of October, Vroon Offshore Services (VOS) has been awarded DNV ISO/DOC accreditation to manage vessels under the Dutch, Gibraltar, Italian, Luxemburg, Singapore and United Kingdom flag. Working together throughout the year under “Project Harmonia”, our business teams ensured that QHSE systems were harmonised across the VOS Management Companies. These efficient preparations ensured a positive outcome of the audits and receipt of this new certification that will allow our VOS offices to work even more closely together in responding to client requirements.
The audits were conducted by Class Society Rina, for Italian and Luxembourg flag, and by DNV-GL, who verified compliance with ISO and Dutch, Gibraltar, United Kingdom and Singapore flag requirements. The purpose of the audits was to ascertain that the VOS Quality Management System (QMS) meets the provisions of the ISM code and ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 management-system standards. In addition, by means of a sampling basis, it was verified that the QMS is implemented and understood at all relevant levels of the organisation. Specific flag-state requirements were also audited on a sampling basis.
With this achievement, VOS has set additional steps towards becoming a fully integrated technical, operational and commercial manager for various types of vessels, operating under different flags and owned by Vroon Group or by third parties. This will support the further development of our third-party management offering, which forms a major part of Vroon Offshore Services’ ongoing strategy. Our objective is to provide vessel owners or financial institutions with a wide range of ship-management services that are safe, reliable and cost effective.
We thank all our colleagues for their support and cooperation in ensuring the successful completion of “Project Harmonia”, resulting in the award of these DOCs.
Vroon Offshore Services is a Vroon Group Management Company, with a fleet of 85 vessels under full management.
