We are very happy and proud to inform you that both Almi Tankers ‘Head Office’ and Almi Tankers ‘On Board’ are officially ‘Great Place to Work Certified’. Almi Tankers is the first shipping company in Greece to obtain this certification for its seafarers ‘On Board’.

The Great Place to Work Certification is an official recognition earned by the real-time feedback of employees regarding their company culture. Investing in our people is investing in our future. By fostering a culture of continuous learning, we empower our employees to achieve their full potential and drive innovation.

Captain Stylianos Dimouleas commented: ‘We would like to thank our team members for their participation! We are honored and grateful that approximately 500 people, which account for over 70% on board and over 90% ashore, worldwide, felt engaged to participate. This certification is based entirely on what you said about your experience working at Almi Tankers!’

Over 90% said that they are proud to tell others they work at Almi Tankers S.A.; that they felt welcome when they joined the company, that there is training/development offered to further themselves personally and professionally and that they feel the environment is safe, inclusive, does not discriminate and people are treated fairly, among other statements.

Congratulations to the team!

The Nautical Institute once again thanked Almi Tankers for its continued participation in the international and confidential Mariners’ Alerting and Reporting Scheme (MARS).

MARS is a free searchable database containing reports of accidents and near misses stretching back over a quarter of a century. Funded through the support of the Institute’s Nautical Affiliate partners, it is one of the maritime industry’s leading risk reduction initiatives and is helping to make life safer for seafarers everywhere.

As a free service to the industry, MARS reports also regularly comprise alerts condensed from official industry sources, so that issues resulting from recent incidents can be efficiently relayed to the mariner on board. With access to the internet from vessels becoming more affordable, the MARS database is a valuable risk assessment, work planning, loss prevention tool and training aid for crew and management.

Letter of Appreciation

Almi Tankers received a Commendation Letter on behalf of the Liberian Registry in August 2024 as appreciation of the Company’s dedication to safety and compliance. The Liberian Registry congratulated Almi Tankers’ fleet vessels for the safe operation of the vessels over the past two years without any IMO Detentions by Port State Control.

We are proud to report that Almi Tankers has had ZERO Port State Control Detentions fleet-wide since its establishment in 2009.

Well done to the whole team for their continuous efforts and commitment!

Almi Tankers is proud to announce that it was certified with ISO 22301 by Lloyd’s Register. ISO 22301 is the international standard for Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS). It provides a framework for organisations to plan, establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain, and continually improve a documented management system to protect against, and reduce the likelihood of disruption of the organisation’s operation due to unexpected calamities or incidents.

The CEO, Cpt. Stylianos Dimouleas, thanked and congratulated the team for this success: “This prestigious certification demonstrates our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of operational resilience and ensuring that our services remain uninterrupted even in the face of unexpected challenges and disruptions.

Our journey towards ISO 22301 certification reflects our active progress and dedication to continuous improvement. It is a significant milestone that complements our existing certifications in Environmental Management (ISO 14001), Quality Management (ISO 9001), Energy Management (ISO 50001), Information Security Management (ISO 27001), and Occupational Health and Safety Management (ISO 45001).

Each of these certifications underlines our holistic approach to delivering exceptional services while prioritising safety, health, environmental protection, sustainability, quality, security, energy efficiency and the well-being of our employees and stakeholders. Achieving the ISO 22301 certification is a testament to our robust risk management practices and our ability to ensure business continuity with the four R’s tenet: Respond, Recover, Resume and Restore, which is crucial in the dynamic and VUCA world in which the shipping industry operates.

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated team, whose constant effort and commitment have made this achievement possible. Their hard work ensures that we not only meet but exceed the expectations of our clients and partners.

As we celebrate this accomplishment, we are excited about the future and look forward to continuing to set industry standards in operational excellence and resilience.”
