In coordination with our principals we run the vessels with engine and deck cadets who are employed based on specific planning for their career development. We conduct on certain intervals, full assessment of the Seamen and upon their disembarkation, there is a sophisticated training needs analysis so that during their vacation, they get appropriate training before getting back onboard.
New recruits are carefully selected and along with experienced crew members undergo an extensive and continuous training program, both ashore and on board. Prior to embarkation seafarers receive a detailed briefing on technical, operational, crew-related, and safety and quality-related matters.
We are committed in supporting the physical and mental well-being of our seafarers. As such, we have equipped our managed vessels with Wi-Fi connection, gym equipment and other recreational facilities. We have also established a private insurance scheme for all our crew and their immediate family members.
Moreover, since the pandemic outbreak, we have adopted a remote medical assistance consultation service that provides our seafarers in need with medical advice and diagnosis.
