Seafarers 2009
Posted on January 19th 2008 | By admin
Overview
The weakening of world markets has seen shipping take a beating from her highs just about a year ago. However, seafarers remain just as important as the need for carriage of fundamental commodities and energy.
Seafarers 2009 returns for the 2nd year with greater emphasis on the strategies that should be applied in the current uncertain environment and tight maritime human pool available. Certain factors such as communication, a clear roadmap of career and fair treatment have often been neglected by the major industry stakeholders. Leaders must now understand that to ensure long-term business success, knowledge and application of the best recruitment and retention practices is the key.
With seafarers playing such an important role in the day to day operations of the vessel, the conference highlights the need for integration of human factors in the safety management system as well as the design process. Moving forward, we look at the growing trend of women seafarers and the evolution of litigation liability and claims.
Seafarers 2009 is a timely platform to gain the latest information while enjoying excellent networking.
