Viking Line became the first shipping company in the world to be verified by the accredited classification society Det Norske Veritas Germanischer Lloyd (DNV GL) in accordance with its My Care methodology. This verification, which covers all seven Viking Line vessels and operations in six terminals, affirms the company\u2019s capability to manage and prevent infection risks, including Covid-19. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Viking Line has long carried out preventive work on contagion risks and infectious diseases. With DNV GL\u2019s My Care verification, Viking Line\u2019s infection risk prevention work during the pandemic is quality-assured and inspected by a third party.\u00a0 Viking Line is the first shipping company in the world to have this verification. The verification is for all of Viking Line\u2019s vessels \u2013 Viking Grace, Amorella, Rosella, Viking Cinderella, Gabriella, Mariella and Viking XPRS \u2013 as well as its terminals in Stockholm, Kapellsk\u00e4r, Mariehamn, Turku, Tallinn and Helsinki. Passengers can read more about My Care \u2013 Infection Prevention Ready – online or by scanning a QR code to obtain further information about DNV GL\u2019s assessment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe safety of our passengers and employees is always Viking Line\u2019s top priority, and that is also the case during this pandemic. Everyone must be able to travel safely with us. We have long carried out infection risk preventive work and have now chosen to be assessed by a third party to quality-assure our work in conjunction with Covid-19. Our employees\u2019 considerable efforts are impressive. We have achieved this thanks to their skills and engagement,\u201d says Jan Hanses, president and CEO of Viking Line.<\/p>\n

Viking Line\u2019s ability to carry out service on the Baltic Sea is determined by decisions made by the authorities in Sweden, Finland and Estonia. A key component of the company\u2019s safety work is health directives and infectious disease control manuals that are continuously used and updated in its operations. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, this work has now been intensified and expanded. These measures begin in the terminals before boarding and end with passengers disembarking. Land-based employees and the vessels\u2019 crews are kept informed on a continuous basis about guidelines in effect and what working methods and protective equipment are to be used for a given period.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would like to congratulate Viking Line on its My Care verification. The application of My Care creates trust since the focus is to prevent infectious diseases. It also demonstrates Viking Line\u2019s strong engagement in further developing its HSE (Health, Security & Environment) processes. A third-party assessment provides assurance that the right measures have been taken to protect people, work transparently and increase the trust of passengers and other stakeholders,\u201d says Luca Crisciotti, CEO, DNV GL- Business Assurance.<\/p>\n
