On Thursday October 27, Kevin Mackay, President and CEO of Teekay Tankers, and representatives from our sea and shore staff attended the Lloyd’s List Asia Awards dinner to accept the trophy for Teekay Tankers as the Tanker Operator of the Year 2016, the company said in its press release.
The panel of judges recognized Teekay Tankers’ commitment to Operational Excellence and commended Teekay’s industry leading safety performance. In 2015, Teekay Tankers's fleet of Tankers traversed over two million miles worldwide transporting more than 54 million MT of oil without losing a single drop of cargo.
“Teekay demonstrated a very impressive performance, and the judges liked that, despite the known commercial pressures in the industry, they allowed at least six vessels to anchor or idle to provide adequate rest to crew, and its safety record sets the benchmark for the rest of the industry”.
