ESG’s human face: where crew welfare and technology intersectDate: Wednesday 31 March Time: 09:00-09:45 BST |
Watch Now |
Technology has a vital role to play in supporting the physical and mental welfare of crew, training and safety, enabling vessel owners and operators to deliver and demonstrate the human face of their ESG approach. The catalyst has been COVID-19. The pandemic has propelled the plight of the stranded seafarer up the industry’s and wider society’s agendas. Investors and insurance communities are highly sensitised to crew welfare issues, as are industry associations and NGOs which have shown an unwavering determination to maintain the visibility of crew welfare issues and to shame those who fall short.
Join us as we cover
- COVID-19, crew training, crew welfare and maintaining safe operations
- Using technology to balance charter, crew and commercial requirements
- The shift to the virtual: training, verification, e-learning and tele-medicine
- Overcoming bureaucratic hoops and complications
Panellists include:
Bjorn Hojgaard, Chief Executive Officer, Anglo-Eastern Univan Group
John-Kaare Aune, Interim Chief Executive Officer, Wallem Group
Svend Foyn-Bruun, Vice President, MPS, Odfjell Ship Management
Clara Wahnich, Digital Innovation Partnerships Lead, Inmarsat

ESG emissions reporting and complianceDate: Thursday 1 April Time: 09:00-09:45 BST |
