SAFETY4SEA is proud to present a special edition of Industry Voices, gathering the perspectives and aspirations of maritime stakeholders who share a common mission: to ensure every seafarer feels safe, respected, and empowered.

In recognition of this year’s World Mental Health Day, we have invited industry experts to share their insights on initiatives that could enhance mental health and well-being for seafarers in the workplace.

June 25th marks a special day every year, dedicated to the industry’s most valuable asset—our seafarers. For the 2024 International Day of the Seafarer, SAFETY4SEA asked key stakeholders to share their messages and pay tribute to all the wonderful people working onboard and ashore who form the heart of shipping.

The ESG journey of shipping has many aspects to consider. In this regard, we have asked from several maritime stakeholders to share their key message for developing an ESG-fit industry.

As we mark this year's IMO International Day for Women in Maritime, which is observed annually on May 18th, we are thrilled to share feedback from female representatives offering insights on how to tackle the prevailing gender disparity in the maritime sector.

This time of the year gives us a great opportunity to set targets and prepare action plan for the next 365 days ahead. As we are getting ready to welcome 2024, we remain optimistic that despite the challenges, maritime industry will keep strong and ready to adapt to new trends.

On the occasion of the World Mental Health day, we asked industry experts to share their views on what needs to change to make seafarers’ mental health a key priority for shipping, as the theme of this year’s international day highlights.

The central theme for this year's World Maritime Day, titled "MARPOL at 50 – Our commitment goes on", seeks to underscore the significance of collaboration in advancing and enforcing the most stringent feasible safety and environmental standards within the realm of global shipping.

On the occasion of this year’s Day of the Seafarer on June 25th, our special column asks maritime stakeholders to share their perspectives on what industry's agenda should involve in the next five (5) years to further support crew welfare and wellbeing.

In today's disruptive, demanding, and dynamic environment, the maritime industry is realigning its ambitious goals with the ESG criteria to optimize long-term value for all stakeholders, strengthening its environmental and social effect as well as its corporate governance.
