Following a thorough external auditing process by a UKAS accredited body, the team in Southampton has been successful in achieving certification or ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001.
The audit process looks at all operational and management standards across cruise, bulks, rail and container to ensure operations meet high international standards.
Each of the standards look at different parts of the business:
ISO 9001 looks at quality systems and has been held since 2005
ISO 14001 looks at environmental management systems and has been held since 2013
This year the team was successful in achieving ISO 45001 which looks at occupational health and safety. All standards are held for three years with annual checks. This recognition of these certifications ensures Team Solent continues to operate to internationally-held high standards. While Southampton is the only location that has the certifications, the high operational standards are embedded in each location across the business.
