 Safety
In Chelsea, safety is the highest priority. The Group complies with the ever-changing

In relation to the Occupational Safety and Health Standards Act or the Republic Act (RA)
11058, Chelsea has nominated Safety Officers who are required to undergo the 40-hour
Basic Occupational Safety and Training (BOSH) Program which is conducted annually
and in partnership with DOLE-OSHC (Department of Labor and Employment -
Occupational Safety and Health Center). Chelsea ensures that all operational personnel
are competent and skilled in safe procedures and are aware of potential hazards and
how to avoid them.

On the other hand, The Philippine Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) has issued the
Document of Compliance (DOC) to Chelsea Shipping, Trans Asia Shipping and Starlite
Ferries - an evidence that its Safety Management System and Company Processes
(Safety Operation and Pollution Prevention) are compliant with the requirements of
International Safety Management Code (ISM Code).

There is collective concern for safety shared throughout the Company at every level.
And this is how Chelsea makes sure that people and cargos are safely transported to
their destinations.
  Stability
From a single vessel in 2006, Chelsea has grown its fleet to 89 vessels, including 30 roll-
on/roll- off passenger vessels, 11 fastcrafts, 15 cargo ships, 12 tankers, 15 tugboats, 4
barges and 2 floating docks.

In compliance with the applicable MARINA regulations, Chelsea has strengthened its
shipping modernization program by acquiring reputable shipping lines while entering into
strategic partnerships with leading Japan-based shipbuilders, namely Kegoya Dock,
Fukuoka Shipbuilding and Kumiai Senpaku for the construction of brand-new vessels.

Chelsea has been expanding its footprint through its subsidiaries (i.e. Chelsea Shipping,
Trans-Asia, and Starlite Ferries) to cater to passengers and shippers from different
regions of the country, further contributing to its market dominance and providing
alternative reliable transportation to Filipinos.

The acquisition of the Philippine’s biggest registered vessel, M/T Chelsea Providence,
with 29,877 gross registered tonnage, brings the Company at the forefront of oil hauling
sector and farther into international waters.

On the ground, Chelsea has been actively growing its logistics reach through Worklink
Services, which broke ground on its 2.5-hectare property in Taguig City for a warehouse
complex development last year.

Continuously exploring and developing new routes, Chelsea has helped boost Philippine
tourism with the range of destinations opened to the riding public. Chelsea also has the
advantage of co-loading among its subsidiaries given the breadth of assets and
operations of these Companies, resulting in unparalleled efficiency and reach across the
Philippines’ more than 7,600 islands.

With Chelsea’s innovative business initiatives, strategic partnerships locally and abroad,
and conformance to global standards, it stands ready to face various challenges ahead.

 Sustainability
Chelsea has taken steps to reduce the environmental footprint of its operations from
services to transactions, such as reducing the volume of generated waste and
increasing the percentage of recycled waste. It consciously observes more efficient
operations and employs technologies which allow faster turnaround times and increased
port capacity; better designed engines and systems; and change of fuel usage from
heavy fuel oils to low-sulfur oils (LSOs).

Together with local government units and non-government organizations, Chelsea

aspires to strengthen its adaptive and preventive capacity to environmental threats and
natural calamities.

Being an active end-to-end logistics provider with the people and the environment at the
center of its initiatives, Chelsea continues to devote its resources to becoming the
country’s prime mover of people, vital goods, and cargoes.
