Creator's Key Takeaways

the biggest challenges we encounter over the last one year in this um it's actually logistic arrangement

we have not been very successful in getting our seafood as medical assistance right

visa for me that's probably the one of the low-hanging fruits to allow seafarers to travel

vaccine is going to be the key to success right or what we call uh the ticket to the dance

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use technology to accelerate visa processes, such as video chats with embassies during isolation.
βœ“Implement crew pooling systems to tap into resources for urgent crew changes.
βœ“Push for visa-on-arrival procedures for seafarers to reduce ambiguity and delays.
βœ“Focus on seafarer well-being from a 360-degree perspective, including support when at home.
βœ“Encourage port states to vaccinate seafarers similarly to the US model.
