VIKAND and Scoutbase are partnering to introduce a data collection tool for real-time insights into seafarer welfare onboard ships.
According to VIKAND, this data tool collects anonymous feedback on safety and critical issues such as seafarer welfare, mental health, and crew engagement, enabling immediate actions to improve working conditions and safety standards.
VIKAND utilizes Scoutbase’s technology to provide ship operators with real-time insights across their fleets. As informed, this collaboration aims to enhance seafarer wellness and sustainability by giving operators a better understanding of the challenges faced by crew members
The integration of Scoutbase’s safety and wellbeing tools into VIKAND’s healthcare solutions technology will give ship operators a better understanding of the real-time challenges faced by their crew members. This will help ship owners and managers to improve seafarers’ working conditions continuously and proactively
… said Peter Hult, CEO of VIKAND.
The integration aims to allow seafarers to report their experiences onboard, helping operators to address issues, improve processes, and track progress. Additionally, operators will have live information from their workforce, enabling direct actions to improve well-being and support safe vessel operations.
Scoutbase’s platform provides continuous, anonymous feedback from the entire crew. This proactive approach strives to prevent problems, promoting a healthier working environment and improving mental health and overall well-being.
Scoutbase allows shipping companies to anonymously connect with their seafarers and gain a true understanding of their well-being onboard. Often, when fleet management teams connect with vessels, they only hear from the master and chief engineer. Scoutbase, however, provides a complete picture by continuously connecting with the entire crew.
