Overview 

The maritime sector has a particular challenge in attracting and retaining sufficient numbers of suitably qualified and motivated personnel to meet its needs; and those needs are changing as a direct consequence of the technological revolution that shipping is experiencing, along with the new generational requirements and expectations of potential new recruits.

Ensuring that workers at sea are treated fairly and are healthy, trained, entertained and able to enjoy contact with friends and family during prolonged periods at sea is an existential requirement for the industry to address if it is to prosper.

This panel discussion, part of London International Shipping Week, will bring together industry leaders to explore the challenges and opportunities for the global workforce of seafarers. Moderated by Chris Goldsworthy CEng CMarEng FIMarEST, Chief Executive of IMarEST.
