Management Systems

With the implementation of an integrated safety, environmental and quality management system, the Hamburg Süd Group is documenting the fact that the company attaches great importance to the quality and environmental compatibility of its services, as well as to the safety of human life, ship and cargo. As early as 1996, the shipping group was one of the first leading international container shipping lines to be certified worldwide in line with the ISO 9001 quality standard. In the same year and on a voluntary basis, the International Safety Management (ISM) Code was introduced, before the existing quality and safety management system was augmented by the ISO 14001 environmental management system in 2000.
