Drydocks World, service provider to the shipping, onshore/offshore oil and gas energy sectors, has successfully attained a 5-star grading from the British Safety Council. This audit verifies Drydocks World as a facility that goes further than the required compliance and achieves the highest international best practice standards.

Consolidating and strengthening a culture of occupational health and safety throughout the organization is a strategic initiative to maintaining the yards position as a world class facility capable of completing complex maritime infrastructure projects. Drydocks World strives to consistently improve and achieve sustainable business growth while always upholding the yards core value of a safe work environment.

The yard achieved an audited score of 96.26%, which is regarded as one of the highest scores internationally based on the new audit criteria.
