The NLNG Shipping and Marine Services Limited (NSML) at the weekend announced that 2024 remains the best year for the company in terms of operational performance, as it achieved 13 million man-hours without Lost Time Injury (LTI).
Disclosing this during the 2024 NSML Performance Recognition and Awards held in Bonny, Rivers State, the managing director, Abdulkadir Ahmed, explained that 2024 was also the best year for the company in terms of profitability and reliability.
According to Ahmed, “It was a watershed year. In terms of HSE, it was one of our best years. We were able to exceed 13 million man-hours without LTI in 2024.
“It was also a watershed year in terms of operational performance, both on our vessels, at the terminal, and in our various work locations.
“Operationally, we were able to exceed our best days when it comes to reliability and availability. But most importantly, it was also a watershed year in terms of our profitability. 2024 was our best year since inception when it comes to reliability.
“All of this wouldn’t have been achieved without the hard work and dedication of all our people. And I underline all our people. All our people are not just those on our payroll, but all our people are essentially everybody associated with what we do. Our staff and our partners.
“It shows really what can be achieved if we all work together, collaborate, but most importantly, keep our eyes on the ball. So what are we here to do today? We are here really to celebrate that.”
The NSML boss further stated that as long as the company continues pushing the boundaries of operational excellence, everyone will be safe, reliable, and create value for all stakeholders.
He stated that the company and stakeholders will continue to support one another, pushing the boundaries of operational excellence and creating value for stakeholders.
“To appreciate everybody that has contributed to what has been a wonderful year for us in NSML. And it is also a recognition for all our partners because what we do wouldn’t be possible without those partners working hand-in-hand with us, buying into our vision and buying into what we’ve decided we want to deliver.
“And so, to name just a few, all the government agencies, the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Department of State Services (DSS), and all the relevant agencies that have worked with us, we want to say a big thank you for all that you do.
“Now, what does it mean? Having achieved what we achieved in 2024 entails that we have to go back and do the same. As we’ve always said in NSML, our strategic imperative remains to be safe, to be reliable, and most importantly, to create value.
“And I’m certain that if we continue to work together, if we continue to keep our eyes on the ball, but most importantly continue to support one another, pushing the boundaries of operational excellence, we will be safe, we will be reliable, and we will create value for all our stakeholders.
“So I just want to say thank you once again for being here. I’m sure it’s going to be an excellent night. It will be a night where it’s not just about those who win something, but about everybody that has contributed to it.
“And I’m certain that at the end of the night, we will all be changing to continue to work collaboratively and continue to deliver on what we’ve been delivering so that we will ensure we exceed what we achieved last year.”
