For more than a quarter century, Saudi Aramco, the largest oil supplier in the world, has entrusted its ocean transportation needs to Vela International Marine Ltd.
Vela has never missed a delivery window and has a safety record that leads the industry. This strong link contributes to making Saudi Aramco the world’s most reliable producer of energy.
Mr. Mohammed Gusaier, President & CEO of Vela International Marine Ltd., has set the priority for the Company by stating “We believe the foundation of any business must be safety. Vela is dedicated to leading by example — to do otherwise is simply not an option. Saudi Aramco deserves nothing less.”
Innovative safety programs and research and development (R&D) projects are the drivers behind this commitment. For example:
- Vela’s Behavioral Based Safety process has developed training courses specifically designed to enhance “situational awareness.” This process combines skills training in Liquid Cargo Handling and Fire Fighting; enabling staff to practice leadership skills in conjunction with response techniques, and risk assessment analysis training. Thus changing behavior by linking critical components — information, events and skills — with results.
- Vela has several patents, and has offered “test bed” development, for technologies in the areas of ballast water management, and green house gas reduction.
Thus by connecting “behavior” with R&D projects, Vela offers the world a better, safer way!
Whether it is long haul crude or short haul products, Vela is what the world expects of a ship owner: a good steward of the environment, a leader in technological innovations, with staff dedicated to solving our customers’ problems.
Vela’s goal is to be known as the company that can be entrusted with carrying “Energy to the World.”
