PEOPLE AND COMMUNITY
Our employees' health and well-being are our foremost priority. We conscientiously look after the welfare of our employees through actively driving key employee support initiatives and encouraging them to achieve a work-life balance.
We adhere to several policies to ensure a safe workplace for our employees:
It is necessary for us to implement strict working procedures and conduct regular training to anchor safe operations onboard. Our HSQE programme clearly outlines and strictly enforces standard working procedures such as the appropriate use of PPE in certain work conditions and regular inspection of our vessels to ensure a safe working environment for our crew.
We believe in raising our crew’s safety awareness and adherence to safety by providing regular training and reinforcing occupational safety. Most importantly, we inculcate a safety mindset in our seafarers and empower them to stop carrying out any unsafe work on board. All our employees play a significant role in ensuring our business is conducted safely.
PCL is one of the signatories to the Neptune Declaration for Seafarer Wellbeing and Crew Change initiated by the Global Maritime Forum (GMF). We are committed to ensuring the rights, safety and well-being of our frontline workers amid the COVID-19 pandemic. PCL has participated in the Sea-Air Vaccination Exercise (SAVE) programme in support of the Government’s ongoing efforts to vaccinate our sea staff and key shore personnel.
We also continuously roll out safety campaigns to regularly remind our crew about the importance of adherence to safety compliance on board vessels. One of our winning safety slogans “START WITH SAFETY, END WITH SAFETY” now pervades the company as we continue to bring our serious approach to safety to everything that we do.
As of January 2021, PCL employs a diverse workforce of 2,500 employees from 29 different countries, bringing together a range of skills, backgrounds, and experiences. We are constantly enhancing training for all our employees–both onshore and offshore, to ensure they can remain agile to the evolving business landscape and overcome unprecedented headwinds in this industry.
PCL is one of the sponsors of the MaritimeONE and Tripartite Maritime Scholarship (TMSS).
In 2022, PCL awarded MaritimeONE Scholarships to two undergraduates who are respectively pursuing their degrees in Offshore Engineering and Naval Architecture at Newcastle University with the Singapore Institute of Technology. We also awarded two scholarships under the Tripartite Maritime Scholarship (TMSS) to students who are pursuing their studies in the Maritime Academy (SMA) of Singapore Polytechnic.
To nurture rising talents in the Singapore maritime industry, we will continue to collaborate with Singapore Maritime Foundation (SMF) & Maritime Port Authority (MPA) and support their concerted efforts to groom promising leaders of the future.
We are also one of the host companies that participated in the MPA Global Internship Award program. This programme offers academically gifted students an enriching maritime experience in Singapore and abroad. PCL has sponsored five students to date, exposing them to a diverse range of possible career opportunities with maritime companies.
We support the communities we serve and collaborate closely with non-profit organisations to create long-term benefits—while encouraging our employees to reach their fullest potential.
Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and community work includes:
