Seafarers

Manpower development is an ongoing issue in the shipping community. How can the industry have a more unified approach to competency? How effective will STCW amendments be, and what have the implementation experiences been so far? What strategies and tips can the industry learn from peers and competitors, and where are the opportunities for collaboration?
