Crew need more health support
Crew change specialist Boers Crew Services said the industry should be collaborating more to ensure the health of seafarers
is treated as a priority, with initiatives in place such as access to blood tests while they are out at sea. The company says
initiatives like this will help reduce sick leave taken by maritime professionals, increase morale and productivity and boost
crew retention, as well as maximise cost efficiencies for shipping operators.
