How we train for keeping crew and passengers safe

Keeping people safe is of highest priority for Stena Line. Throughout our operations we integrate steps to make our ports and sailings as safe and secure as possible. Rigorous procedures are put into place each year to keep a high-level standard and the work is never complete. Our crew in our ports and onboard share their insights into everyday routines that keep all our freight drivers safe.

Fire safety onboard for safe sailing on the open sea

Fire safety is a critical concern for life at sea. To mitigate risks and ensure passenger and crew safety, we consistently focus on fire prevention and safety measures.

Safe loading of goods onboard

Guiding traffic in our ports and loading cargo onboard involves rigorous safety procedures. We have developed strategic routines to minimise the risk of collisions for loading vessels and maximising safety for parking goods.

Stress management as a part of our safety training

Dealing with individuals under stress can be challenging, as stress manifests in various ways. Therefore, understanding how to approach a person who is showing signs of stress is an essential part of our staff training.

Preparing is key - minimising damage with emergency training

Emergency training is a weekly routine for our crew. Whether it is acute medical situations or fire crises, these scenarios can create immense stress. To alleviate this, our staff regularly practice safety procedures, ensuring passengers feel secure while traveling with us.
