Following a really tough year for shipping industry and seafarers, BIMCO has launched a two-minute film aiming to raise awareness of how significant a role shipping plays in society and daily lives.
With the crew change crisis intensifying day by day, it has become clear that one of the primary reasons for this crisis, is lack of awareness when it comes to shipping,
…BIMCO’s Secretary General and CEO, David Loosley says.
The initiative aims to address the fact that a great number of decision makers, as well as the general public, are not aware of exactly how disruptive life would be, were it not for shipping.
Now is a good time to make decision-makers and the public aware of how medicine, food, cars and clothes are transported, and why seafarers too should have key worker status,
…Loosley says.
The film was produced in cooperation with UK-based television production company ITN and is the first in a series of initiatives that will be launched by BIMCO over the coming years.
