When applying these metrics, we begin by assuming
1,000,000 working hours, which we then divide by the product of the following factors: the manhours worked per vessel

(24 hours in our case, re昀氀ecting the workday aboard the vessel), the number of vessels, the crew count on each vessel,
and 365 days (representing our year-round operation).

Performance in 2024
TRCF and LTIF
Gearbulk saw a record low injury record in 2021. It is therefore unfortunate to see a continued hike in injuries since
3,5
then. Each case was investigated and shared with the 昀氀eet
3,0
through experience transfers.
Gearbulk is adamant in reversing the trend and the development has only enhanced Gearbulk’s focus on achieving
an improved safety performance amongst its employees.
Increased Management level visits onboard, enhanced focus
on toolbox meetings, The Safety Leadership training programme, and Risk Management are all focus areas for 2025.
Work related hazards are recognised and identi昀椀ed by the
industry and governed by risk assessments, work permits,
and check lists controlled by the organisation through its
safety management system. Incidents are shared in the 昀氀eet
through experience transfers. No injury from these hazards
were reported in 2024.
