Working on oil, gas, and chemical tankers requires the highest level of vigilance due to the volatile and toxic nature of the cargo. Crew members must hold specialized advanced training certifications (e.g., Gas and Chemical Tanker Endorsements) and participate in rigorous safety drills.

Due to the inherent high-risk environment, SWIF ensures that our members receive appropriate Hazard Pay and comprehensive medical monitoring throughout their contracts. We closely monitor company compliance with Vetting requirements and international safety standards to protect the health and financial security of those serving in this essential, specialized sector.
