committed to making all personnel more safety conscious and encourage all to become actively involved in identifying possible risks, implementing corrective action and constantly monitoring all facets of their working environment to ensure safety conditions prevail. YSSSBwas incorporated in 1979 initially with a fleet of 15 log vessels. The company's initial involvement in the shipping industry was to provide regular and efficient shipping services for carriage of logs in the international as well as domestic trades. With the decline of the state round logs export. YSSSB which comes under the purview of the Transportation Division of ICSB embarked on a diversification programme where the emphasis was shifted to other shipping market sectors i.e. palm oil, petroleum and chemical trades. In time, with this exercise, several of the log vessels were disposed and the division had purchased a chemical tanker, M.T. Danum of 7,000 kiloton. Thisvessel is presently on a time charter business.
