Safety on board
The safety of our customers and staff has our fullest attention and is always our top priority!
We are caring
Compliance between the internal and external safety standards is a fundamental precondition in our daily work and directly linked to the success of the company.
The development of the COVID-19 pandemic in the beginning of 2020 made our customer service and the safety on board our TT-Line ferries even more important.
We support our passengers in the best way possible with their travel plans and we take all necessary safety measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. This is only possible with the support of our passengers.
We are constantly in contact with the local authorities in the countries within our route network in order to comply with individual guidelines and regulations.
Safety on board
As a minimum standard, all safety measures must conform to the requirements of the international, regional and national safety regulations for ocean-going vessels which form the basis of the SOLAS Convention (Safety of Life at Sea) of the International Maritime Organisation IMO, a United Nations body.
Modern, safe ships that are in peak condition
TT-Line operates one of the most recently built and most state-of-the-art ferry fleets in the Baltic Sea today. The ships have been designed and constructed in accordance with the latest technological developments, and they all meet the safety requirements in force, including the special requirements in terms of damage stability. To maintain the high technological standard of the fleet, ongoing and scheduled maintenance is an absolute requirement. For this reason, all ships of TT-Line have their own computer-assisted maintenance and repair program by means of which all necessary work can be scheduled and monitored.
Competent and well-trained staff both on board and on land
Technology alone is no guarantee for safety. It is the optimal interaction between humans and technology which ensures that emergency situations do not arise in the first place. If incidents do occur, however, it is imperative that safety is maintained through direct, prompt and correct human intervention. Competent and well-trained personnel is therefore a crucial factor in the safe operation of a vessel. Ongoing personnel training programmes and frequent exercises guarantee that the crew is capable of responding quickly and correctly to unforeseen events.
Optimal organization of operational processes
Complex operational sequences require an effective organisation. All the important safety-related operational sequences are laid down in TT-Line's Safety Management System. The system meets the requirements of the International Safety Management Codes of the IMO and has been regularly tested and certified by the relevant authorities since 1996. The most important aspect of the system is the constant process of monitoring and improving which is designed to raise our safety standards further.
