More dynamic and user-friendly news pages
Crewtoo online social network dedicated to seafarers, has now followed the March 2014 introduction of its jobs board with the launch of a redesigned website that aims to welcome shore-based professionals alongside the ever-growing seafarer membership. Crewtoo was founded by KVH Media Group, part of KVH Industries, less than two years ago and today has more than 105,000 members.
Upgrades to the Crewtoo site include more dynamic and user-friendly news pages, a crew resources page providing useful contact information about charities and seafarer organizations, and recommended products and services of particular interest to the Crewtoo community. Crew training organizations can now promote their courses to Crewtoo’s membership, and there is a dedicated area for maritime events and conferences.
“We believe this is an exciting new phase in Crewtoo’s growth,” says Anneley Pickles, head of business development for Crewtoo at KVH Media Group. “Crewtoo is all about giving seafarers their voice and providing them with enough information and choices so they can make informed decisions about the things that are important to them.“
For example, the decision to broaden the Crewtoo community to include shore-based professionals such as crew training organizations is intended to enable seafarers to more easily gain information about the training programs they need to advance in their careers.
“Our seafarer community is key, and we keep listening and responding to them,” says Ms. Pickles. “Our goal with the enhanced website is to give crew access to more information, products, and services, and, in turn, to also enable shore-based professionals to interact with seafarers.“
