ISWAN 2023 Seminar
2023-11-16
Theme this year is: ‘Addressing the maritime recruitment crisis: Seafarer wellbeing in a changing world’.
The maritime sector faces a growing recruitment and retention crisis. Increased workloads, reduced shore leave, an unwillingness to undertake long contracts, and the over-occurrence of issues such as bullying and harassment, are just some of the factors leading seafarers to seek alternative careers. At the same time, the need for highly skilled, experienced seafarers to steer the maritime sector through the transition to zero-carbon has never been greater.
This seminar will take a solutions-focused approach to exploring how the maritime sector needs to address the recruitment and retention gap. The event will provide the opportunity to hear from a range of industry experts and is of relevance to all stakeholders that have an investment in the future of maritime, including shipping and cruise ship companies, crewing agents, management companies, training institutions, unions, P&I clubs, yacht owners and welfare organisations.
