Sustainability at Nakilat
Nakilat and its joint ventures (JVs) are committed to Qatar National Vision 2030, which outlines the development of a sustainable future for the State of Qatar. As an organization, we conduct various safety and internal development programs to ensure the creation of a safe and reliable workforce, while our robust corporate social responsibility (CSR) framework aims to enrich the lives of local communities and preserve our natural environment.
Our sustainability commitment comprises several key elements, and among our highlights this year include:
Safety, Health, Environment and Quality (SHEQ) is top priority for us and we ensure to operate in a safe, reliable and efficient manner within our society and natural environment. The fundamentals of how we deliver safe and reliable operations remain our focus.
We believe that all incidents and injuries are preventable, hence we strive to create an Incident and Injury Free (IIF) environment both at the workplace and at home. Through significant investment in our people, processes, and equipment. Nakilat’s safety performance continues to be excellent and has led to the achievement of industry leading results in comparison to the benchmarked average of our peer group.
People are the solid foundation of the organization’s success, and they contribute to operational excellence. Crew welfare is one of the Company’s highest priorities.
Nakilat has developed initiatives towards improving work-life balance for crew members by not only monitoring the workload but also by enhancing our training program. We have introduced promotion programs for junior engineers and cadets and improved rotation schedules. We have taken several measures to support improved lifestyle onboard. For example, enabling our seafarers to take advantage of high-speed internet onboard, to stay in touch with their families, which is provided by communications equipment in combination with effective cybersecurity management.
Nakilat continues to monitor and evaluate through an employee feedback survey utilizing an independent third-party professional organization to identify the perception of our seafarers against the measures we are putting in place for their wellbeing as well as their job satisfaction.
This involved introducing healthy mental wellbeing initiatives to support establishing a positive environment onboard. New projects are focused on continuity of improvement of condition for seafarers. Nakilat continued building high calibre resources in line with our vision on project expansion. 2024 was an exceptional year on training and development of Qatari seafarers, enabling them to reach senior ranks.
Furthermore, tailored programs have been completed for national officers covering shore-based training for various ranks on ship-simulation, bridge-team management, navigational-skills assessment & development programs to support improved maritime skills.
Our commitment towards professional and personal development of our employees, remained as a major focus during 2024. Nakilat continued to adopt a blended learning approach, which resulted in 80% of our training programs being delivered virtually.
