Dispatches No. 390

Crew Connect Hamburg

It is great to see so many of our members participate in this important industry conference. Our voice is very string here in Hamburg. Both Full members and associate members are leading from the front.

Today’s topics:

• Do we really face shortage of seafarers? Drewry’s latest report says 2% but shows salary increase barely 1% over the last 12 months
• Stable or fluid crew? Which team would you feel more comfortable to work with?
• Technology – first un-maned ship will be delivered in Norway 2020. Is this a threat or opportunity for us seafarers and ship managers?
• Do we need to have shore personnel who has strong seafaring background or maybe not at all would be far more beneficial?
• Shall owners pay for seafarers training? Should seafarers be expected to undertake training during their holiday period?
