The standards we hold ourselves to — in every port, on every charter, and with every counterparty.
Oris Maritime Ltd. operates with integrity across every dimension of our business — vessel operations, chartering, crewing, and commercial dealings. This Code of Conduct sets out the standards we expect of our directors, employees, agents, and representatives acting on our behalf.
This Code applies to all personnel of Oris Maritime Ltd., including full-time employees, contracted crew, commercial agents, and any third party representing the company in a business capacity.
We do not offer, pay, request, or accept bribes, kickbacks, or improper inducements of any kind — whether in cash, gifts, or any other form of benefit. We comply with applicable anti-corruption laws, including the UK Bribery Act 2010 and equivalent legislation in the jurisdictions where we operate.
Gifts and hospitality must be reasonable in value, transparent, and never intended to influence a business decision.
We conduct sanctions screening on all counterparties, vessels, cargoes, and ports before entering into any commercial arrangement. We do not knowingly engage with entities or individuals listed on OFAC, EU, UN, or UK sanctions lists.
Any transaction that carries sanctions risk must be escalated to management before proceeding.
We compete on the merits of our vessels, rates, and service. We do not engage in price-fixing, market manipulation, or any anti-competitive practice. We treat charterers, brokers, suppliers, and competitors with honesty and professionalism.
The safety and dignity of our crew is non-negotiable. We comply with the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC 2006) and all applicable ISM Code requirements. Harassment, discrimination, or intimidation of any person aboard our vessels or in our offices is prohibited.
We enforce MLC and STCW rest hour requirements strictly. No commercial pressure justifies falsification of rest hour records.
We operate in compliance with MARPOL and all applicable environmental regulations. We do not discharge pollutants, falsify logs, or circumvent emissions controls. We actively seek to reduce our environmental footprint through vessel maintenance standards and voyage optimisation.
Personnel must disclose any personal or financial interest that could conflict — or appear to conflict — with their duties to Oris Maritime. Undisclosed conflicts are a disciplinary matter.
Commercial terms, voyage details, counterparty information, and internal business data are confidential. Personnel must not disclose such information to third parties without authorisation, during or after their engagement with the company.
Anyone who becomes aware of a potential violation of this Code is expected to report it. Reports may be made directly to management or by email to conduct@orismaritime.com. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.
Violations of this Code may result in disciplinary action, termination of contract, and referral to relevant authorities where the conduct constitutes a criminal offence.
