And support strategies for crew development
The world’s leading shipping company human resources thought-leaders and The Mission to Seafarers are meeting in Singapore this week to discuss key support strategies for crew development and human resources management.
The Mission to Seafarers’ director of development Nicky Wynne will be one of the headline speakers at ACI’s 12th Maritime HR and Crew Development Conference and is giving a presentation on the future of welfare services and partnership working with shipping companies.
Nicky said: “I am delighted to be invited to speak to the shipping industry’s senior managers whose primary role is to ensure seafarers’ employment contracts are properly managed and that working conditions for crews are at the very least up to international standards.”
“The Mission to Seafarers’ charitable global welfare support programme of ship visiting, justice and welfare case management, communications, and transport service provision in 260 ports all around the world works as a vital backup system when things do go wrong.
“The Mission already partners with many leading shipping companies who have the care, safety and wellbeing of their crews as their top priority, and we provide the ‘on the ground’ intelligence to know what seafarers are most concerned about and where the pressure points will come from. We work around the clock in 71 countries, and in a confidential setting, so that Mission welfare teams can help solve day to day human problems, or step in very quickly in an emergency.
“I call on all shipping companies around the world to actively support and engage with The Mission to Seafarers and integrate crew welfare and development strategies with the vital work that third sector maritime charities provide.”
