Our vessels are designed using a concept known as “safety in depth” which means that we build in multiple independent layers of protection to our vessels and transport packages. All essential systems have at least one back-up; all safety critical process have at least one cross check; and all safety features have at least one additional barrier to ensure there is no single point of failure on any essential systems.
