Crew change specialists in demand
Crew change specialists are in high demand from shipping companies struggling to get seafarers on or off vessels because of
Covid-19 travel restrictions, an industry figure has revealed. Authorities around the world have either closed ports or introduced
entry measures to prevent potential coronavirus carriers from entering their country – making it difficult for shipowners
to get crew in or out, according to Peter Smit, Co-CEO of Boers Crew Services.
