Singapore Maritime Week sparked vital conversations on safety, competence, and alternative fuel operations – themes we at Anglo-Eastern are committed to advancing every day.
Himanshu Chopra, Managing Director at Anglo-Eastern, joined the Rio Tinto Designated Owners and Operators (DOO) annual forum as a panelist. Although overall injury rates have improved across the industry, critical operations continue to carry embedded risks. A recurring message from the session was the importance of recognising high potential near misses early and strengthening how learnings from these events are shared across fleets.
Himanshu discussed fatality prevention and the power of leading indicators, calling for a shift from reporting volume to value in order to enable earlier spotting of high-potential near misses (HiPos). At Anglo-Eastern, this means prioritising signals that matter, cross-fleet learning from HiPos, and a culture of risk ownership over mere compliance.
Uma Dutt, our Vice President of LNG, spoke at the LNG for Shipping forum organised by Conference Connection, about LNG operations and safety management from a ship manager’s perspective. He highlighted the importance of hands-on training, tackling crew shortages through quality manpower strategies, and driving mindset shifts through psychological training and onboard drills. Anglo-Eastern’s long-term dedication to enhancing practical LNG competence, alongside our key training facilities, was also spotlighted in Uma’s presentation.
Thank you to the organisers and industry peers for these meaningful exchanges. Together, we are building safer, more capable fleets.
