OK everyone, gather round, here's a lovely little story for you all. Chris Ward - Keir Starmer's former chief of staff - was a longtime close friend. He stayed at my parent's flat in Edinburgh. We got drunk together, made repetitive Alan Partridge-based gags. We argued about…

Register for Monday's @LISWOfficial @WISTAUK webinar - you'll get to hear about how @HJBirkett, @LloydsListNidaa, and I ended up in maritime but foremost, how to make it easier for women and people of different backgrounds to share their expertise with us! lnkd.in/eF-7zzWt

Guy's op ed hits the nail on the head. All transport sectors have been calling on governments to ensure the free and safe movement of transport workers since the pandemic began and now they are realising what happens to the global supply chain when those calls are ignored

Guy Platten's piece in the @FT calls on governments to end the mistreatment of all global transport workers now and ease supply chain pressures being faced around the world. Read more here: rebrand.ly/supply-chain-p… @ITFglobalunion @the_IRU @IATA

This is no mean feat! Congrats to the SIRF team and all who donated. Still a way off from the $1m target so please do continue to donate. #SIRFSolidarity

In a month we’ve managed to raise over $660,000 in support of #seafarers! This money is being used on some incredible projects and to provide life-saving equipment! We’re delighted by the response of the industry and individuals alike!

An excellent addition to our Training Record Book series. As an ex seafarer I really appreciate the key role Ships' Cooks play in keeping crew healthy and happy. Highly recommended #mairitime #chefs #seafarers

OUT NOW: Based on the ILO guidelines for training and competency, the ICS Training Record Book for Ships' Cooks enables ships’ cooks to track career progression and demonstrate training experience to employers. Order today: publications.ics-shipping.org/single-product… #maritime #chefs #seafarers

Anyone in my network a Captain of a large containership or has recent experience of navigating large canals (Panama, Suez etc)? If so let me know!


For all those mourning the loss of Kevin Tester I'd encourage you to share your memories on the link below. Kevin was a fantastic writer & a wonderful person. Maritime is the worse off without him but more importantly so are all his family and friends. We'll miss you sorely

There is a memorial board for Kevin where you can share your memories, photos and videos of him - this will be shared with his family. kudoboard.com/boards/bWDkAQ9Y

On International Women's Day we asked female seafarers to share their stories #IWD2021

Women make up just 7.5% of the seafarer workforce. On International Women's Day we asked them to share their experiences of working at sea and how COVID-19 has affected them and their crew. #womeninmaritime #IWD2021 #COVID19

"Our #seafarers have been the real unsung heroes of this #pandemic, because #shipping has never stopped" @guyplatten of @shippingics says for their safety & our supply chains, deem those stuck at sea as #keyworkers #trade #coronavirus #NeptuneDeclaration bbc.co.uk/news/business-…


It looks increasingly likely countries will start demanding proof of vaccination to be able to travel. Governments MUST put #seafarers on priority vaccine lists to avoid worsening the crew change crisis & ensure essential PPE & medical supplies can be delivered globally #vaccines

ICS leads call to governments to give seafarers #COVID-19 vaccine priority as crew change struggles increase amid new variants and travel restrictions ow.ly/7SbF50DcakW #crewchangecrisis #seafarersarekeyworkers #vaccine



It is becoming rapidly evident that vaccinations will add a hugely complex layer to crew changes, and as we learnt from 2020 governments might pay lipservice to seafarers but little has improved

The new variants of COVID-19 and access to vaccinations make resolving the #crewchangecrisis more difficult. Read more from ICS Secretary-General @guyplatten on the issue here: ow.ly/8cdG50D8hT0 @LloydsList @LloydsListNidaa



It's about time major retailers stand up for crew that they profit from immensely. #JeffBezos needs to help end the #crewchangecrisis

Shipping bodies call on Jeff Bezos to take a stand for stranded seafarers at industry Round Table. "If ships do not sail, events on the scale of #BlackFriday or #CyberMonday would be impossible." #CrewChangeCrisis #HeroesAtSea ics-shipping.org/press-release/…

Good to see more mainstream outlets writing about this humanitarian crisis. Perhaps the public can start putting pressure on their governments to sort it out now rather than ignore their plight any longer: bbc.co.uk/news/business-… #crewchangecrisis #seafarersarekeyworkers

1. For everything that has been said about #crewchange, we still can’t get reliefs even when we go to ports where crew change is allowed. Lots of my crew are over their contracts and a number are over by more than 10 months.
