HSE Report 2011


Our ambition is to touch nature,

as gently as a footprint in the sand


STX OSV maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards lapses

in the company’s HSE efforts. All accidents can and must be

avoided, whether personal injury, damage to property, or

harm to the environment. We continuously work to improve

performance in HSE-related matters.

Specific focus areas for 2011 included:

Close dialogue with employees during sick leave

Waste handling and waste segregation

Reporting of safety observations

Behaviour based safety

STX OSV has implemented a Behaviour-Based Safety

program (BBS) to raise awareness about risk factors and

safe behaviour among the workforce.

Our environmental focus


By reporting and handling safety

observations at an early stage, STX

OSV is able to be proactive regarding

HSE. Tracking and management of

safety-related data in our HSE systems

have significantly improved in recent

years. Reporting safety observations,

and executing immediate preventive

actions, are some of the crucial tools

we use to eliminate risks and prevent

accidents. As the number of safety

observations handled has increased

from year to year, the number of

accidents and injuries has dropped

significantly.

The number of safety observations

reported and handled in 2010 was

6 344, and for 2011 it was 9 086. At the

same time, the number of accidents1)

has again dropped, from 505 in 2010 to

414 in 2011. The same trend applies to

the number of Lost Time Injuries (LTI)2).

In 2010, there were 65 LTIs giving an

LTI frequency3) of 3.2. In 2011, that

number was down to 51 LTIs giving an

LTI frequency of 2.2. This is all time low

for STX OSV.

Health and Safety


The number of accidents and injuries has again dropped

Reporting and handling our safety observations at an early stage

1) Total recordable injuries, environmental

impacts, start of fires and incidents with

material damage.

2) Injuries resulting in absence from work

beyond the day of the accident.

3) Number of lost-time injuries per million

hours worked.

Health and Safety


The sick leave statistics have improved

as well. The average sick leave in 2011

was 3.0% compared to 3.1% in 2010.

Each employee, as well as the company

as a whole, benefits from our persistent

focus on handling sick leave individually

and at an early stage.

This includes adapting the work place in

close dialogue with our employees, the

occupational health service and the

local doctors in case of offering

restricted work to our employees as an

alternative to sick leave.

Such efforts will continue in 2012.

STX OSV takes its environmental

responsibilities seriously, and it is our

policy that environmental considerations

should be an integral part of our day-to-

day activities. Waste management,

noise abatement, minimal emissions,

and the construction of eco-friendly

vessels are among the areas we focus

on. We promote an open dialogue on

environmental issues with employees,

authorities, the local communities where

we operate, and other interested

parties. Our operations aim to inflict a

minimal amount of stress on the

environment.

STX OSV is in close dialogue with

public authorities on issues concerning

the environment, and inspections have

been conducted on a regular basis.

Remarks have been minor and have

been handled locally during our ordinary

course of business.

The last years, as part of a nation-wide

governmental initiative to map pollution

at Norwegian industrial sites and in

coastal waters, we conducted extensive

environmental surveys at our

Norwegian yards. In conjunction with

national guidelines, this will be followed

up in 2012 with further actions and

plans undertaken in close cooperation

with the local authorities.

Environment


We take our environmental responsibility seriously

We promote an open dialogue with employees, authorities and local communities

Our shipyards collect and classify their

waste to ensure it is handled, disposed

of and, where possible, recycled in an

environmentally appropriate way.

Hazardous waste and other classified

wastes are collected by professional

waste management companies.

We keep track of our environmental

performance by means of an

Environmental Performance System

(EPS), in which the shipyards record

their consumption of chemicals,

disposal of waste, and other metrics.

Various types of metal, including steel

and aluminium, account for the bulk of

the waste that is sent for recycling.

Other recycled waste fractions include

electric articles, wood, paint residues,

oil-based waste, plastics, food waste,

paper and cardboard.

The ability of the shipyards to classify

their waste and deliver it for recycling is

presented as a recycling percentage.

Our objective is to minimize the amount

of unsorted waste delivered to landfills

and incineration plants by sending the

highest possible portion for recycling.

Electricity

The electricity figures include the total

electricity consumed at the yards’

facilities (office buildings, workshops

and machinery) and for the pumps,

tools, ventilation, lighting and heating

used on the vessels during the outfitting

period.

Freshwater

The freshwater figures show the total

consumption of freshwater for the office

buildings and the production facilities.

The consumption is project dependent,

as a certain amount of water is used in

connection with the testing of various

systems on board the vessels.

Ballast water

Out of respect for the environment, we

keep track of the amount of foreign

ballast water we import from foreign

seas and discharge outside our yards at

arrival. For the Norwegian yards this is

basically the ballast water on board the

hulls towed from Braila and Tulcea. The

hulls are filled with ballast water in

Romania for towing. For 2011 this was

fresh water from the public water supply

in Braila and Tulcea. From an

environmental point of view it is better to

use fresh water for this purpose. It has

been documented that fresh water

organisms do not survive when they are

flushed out into the sea.

Solvents

This is the amount of solvents used

during production, e.g. in connection

with the consumption of paint. The

solvents in paint are released into the

air when the paint dries.

Diesel oil for vehicles and heating in

buildings

Some of our yards have buildings

heated by oil-fired boiler systems. The

different shipyards vary in their use of

oil-fired heating, which explains why

some yards have low consumption

rates. Diesel is also used to power

trucks and various vehicles and

machines.

Environmental accounts


In the following pages we will present the detailed environmental accounts for each yard.

Fuel oil

During outfitting, fuel oil is used by the

vessels in connection with

commissioning, testing and conducting

sea trials. Ships equipped with a

catalyzer use urea in addition to the

fuel, which reduces NOx emissions. The

amount of fuel oil consumed varies a lot

between the yards, due to the number

and types of vessels from yard to yard

and from year to year.

Emissions to air

Our yards use an assortment of fossil

fuels for powering vessels and vehicles,

as well as for heating, etc., thus

releasing a certain amount of pollution

into air. Our EPS software calculates

that these activities emit CO2, NOx, SOx

and PM (particulate matter).

Waste management

All yards have contracts with certified

recycling companies that collect

recycled waste fractions at our yards.

Various types of metals - e.g. steel and

aluminium - account for the main bulk of

the waste that is sent for recycling.

Other recycled waste fractions include

EE waste, fluorescent tubes, wood,

paint residues, oil-based waste,

batteries, waste oil, plastic, food waste,

paper and cardboard.

The garbage and the non-sorted waste

is delivered to landfill sites. Through

efficient and effective sorting and waste

management efforts, our goal is to

maintain the lowest possible fraction of

unsorted waste.

Recycling ratio

The shipyards’ ability to sort their waste

and deliver it for recycling is presented

as a recycling percentage. This shows

the ratios of waste sent for recycling

versus waste sent to landfills.
