Global – October 27, 2026 -- Teekay Tankers has named this quarter's winners of its Hazard Reporting Awards, recognizing the vessel teams that reported the highest number of hazards through the company's cloud-based digital platform.
Teekay Tankers turns hazard reporting into a quarterly team contest
The company has gamified the process. Vessels are placed into teams that compete every quarter to report the most hazards. Winners are recognized publicly and receive a prize.
Seafarers log unsafe acts and conditions on a mobile-friendly platform
Crews use the platform to flag unsafe acts or unsafe conditions on board as they notice them. Early and frequent reporting lets senior management implement corrective action outside regular on-board inspections.
Hazard database flags trends and shares them across the fleet
Every report enters a hazard database that recognizes and highlights trends. Vessels use these trends to focus on specific problem areas and fix hazards before danger occurs. Trend findings are reported fleet-wide, so all ships benefit from the added foresight.
Vessel Balanced Scorecard tracks each ship's reporting volume
The number of hazards each vessel reports feeds into the Vessel Balanced Scorecard, a digital dashboard that gives the company an overview of fleet safety. Teekay Tankers describes this data as essential to making its ships safer places for seafarers to live and work.
The company calls hazard reporting a cornerstone of its achievements in safety and vetting.
