Visibility is critical. There is so much more we can be doing to improve the safety and welfare of our seafarers and raising awareness of the challenges they face is needed to collaboratively reach solutions. #safety #welfare #crew #seafarers
"I am thrilled that the IMO is making the link between safety and seafarers very visible this year and spotlighting the efforts that our crew take to keep our oceans protected, cargo safe and trade flowing," says Intent Communications CEO Namrata Nadkarni in SAFETY4SEA. She points out that it is high time that we invest in the safety of our seafarers and make them feel valued. This might come in the form of — 💫 user-friendly training 💫 mental health support 💫 proper insurance 💫 equipment-specific training ... and most importantly, a culture where people are able to speak freely about problems they identify or ways to make life at sea better! We must create a psychologically safe work-space so that our seafarers can not just thrive but have a say in our sector.
