Port and ship safety assurance is the absolute priority of PGA SA

24.02.2012

The Port of Gdansk Authority SA informs that as of 1st March 2012 and resulting from the signed agreement ensuring fire safety to vessels navigating port water areas will be the responsibility of the company "Port of Gdansk Security Guard" (PGSG).

PGSG's knowledge of the port grounds is the guarantee of immediate and effective response to any emergency or threat situation, and of ensuring that professional preventive measures are readily available. The advantages of PGSG's day-to-day operations rely on applying the most advanced technologies and on acting in close cooperation with the Border Guard, Police, Customs Service and with the Port Fire Brigade "Florian" Ltd.

PGSG will perform its fire safety duties by means of specialized fire emergency response vessels owned by PGA SA and operated by experienced crews. Top standard safety measures will be applied to all cargo operations involving petroleum and LPG, and to all operational actions in case of emergency or spillage management.

In view of the above mentioned factors, it is necessary to emphasize that ensuring safety to port facilities and ship crews is the absolute priority of PGA SA and will be provided both on land, but first and foremost, on water areas owned by the Port of Gdansk.
