Message from
Wilhelmsen Ships Service
Wilhelmsen Ships Service is striving to achieve the most efficient, safe and
environmentally friendly products for use on board your ship. We are constantly
trying to develop safer products, but for many years to come we will have to live
with the fact that many of the products that serve us so well and are so efficient
for the operation of a ship, will continue to be potentially dangerous.
All chemicals, paints and gases are dangerous to both people and the environment
if used incorrectly. It is Wilhelmsen Ships Service’s policy to do our best
to guarantee your safety in your work with our products. We hope this journal will
contribute to your having a safe and healthy ship.
